Chaos Space Marines incoming

[Cammerz]

Well its all up for Advance Order now, I can reveal that the codex is indeed hardback. There are also a few other models being re-done in Finecast such as Obliterators, Havocs and a few Special Characters.

I can also reveal that Chaos Raptors and Chaos Warp Talons are seperate units (although both built with the same kit).

I've ordered myself the codex but will put off ordering anything else until I work out what my army list will be. (Plus I still have loads of things sitting around that I need to paint and construct anyway).

I'm pretty happy with this release. The Deamon Engines look like the blood mounts and juggernaughts on a larger scale. So now massive change to GW deamon engines there. I like them alot.

That is a change, because Juggernaughts are not Daemon Engines.  The original Daemon Engines of Khorne, for example, were very different.  Here's the old Cauldron of Blood:

I'm dissapointed that the thousand sons etc are finecast upgrade packs. that means we will not see plastic kits of them for awhile. the mutilators and obliterators should have been a plastic combo box. im thankfull i do not use these anyways. i like the Fiend, but i'm less keen of the dragon, i rather buy the FW flyer.

I think, in order of importance, I will get the Codex (duh) then the Fiend, the some Warp Talons if they measure up.

Im thinking that this could be a very good army for blitzkreig style warfare. Add in a couple of heavy guns for emphasis and some Psykers (because Tzeentch is awesome) and away you go.

Wait... it's possible for your character to ascend to Daemon Prince status mid game? Holy tits!

Yeh, that does look pretty awesome. But then again, there is also chance that your character can turn into spawn mid game.

Which means you need three models so you can represent one model. How much is a Daemon Prince now adays?

[Narric]

The Heldrake looks like a mix of Swoop (Dinobot Transformer) and the Bat/Bird thing from "9." May stil buy it if I have the spare cash

Yeap, GW's way of saying "We profit anyway!"

But of course that saying, almost every character that can access the boon can become a Daemon prince.......so if someone is really lucky expect 2+ Daemon Princes walking around.
