Brother Nihm Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 They're completely new. Look in the new Rulebook for the few tidbits we have on them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artein Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Basically this is all we have http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Crimson_Slaughter Maybe in the starter set we'll see something more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo Machinum Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Here are the references in the BRB: p.176 for the Dark Vengeance mention in the 40k timeline p.299 for the Crimson Slaughter pic ...and to the left for my avatar (still in need of some refinements) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherLoki Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have a fairly strong belief that they're a Word Bearers warband - the colours match, and they seem to have Chaos marines, cultists and some daemon-engine type things, going by the starter box contents.

Warsmith IV Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Many people think they're Khornate - red and gold/brass are his colours, after all. There is also a certain Khornate flavour to the models in the Starter Set. Most likely they're a renagade bunch rather than Legion descendants. If they are a Legion it's probably either Word Bearers or World Eaters - I'll be painting mine as Word Bearers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be anything. My money is on Renegades, as everyone thought the Chosen of Nemeroth in Space Marine were Khornate when they were Undivided.

Lepaca Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Everyone thought the Chosen of Nemeroth in Space Marine were Khornate when they were Undivided. I just thought "Khornate warband? But their leader is a sorcerer. That makes no sense!" Then I remembered Kyras. Thanks THQ. ;) Crimson Slaughter kind of sounds Khornate though.

It's probably in the middle, GW has released Berzerkers in the Chaos starters for how many years now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Basically this is all we havehttp://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Crimson_Slaughter Maybe in the starter set we'll see something more. Great... The Nephilim Sector? I guess back to the drawing board on my DIY Warband name. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great... The Nephilim Sector? I guess back to the drawing board on my DIY Warband name. :) I don't see why, the time in that wikia is very recent. So long as GW doesn't specify that Sector having some Chaotic presence only because of the Crimson Slaughter, you can push your DIY a few centuries, or millenia.

I'd rather not have anything I write affiliated with what they do. It's just a shame that they wasted the Nephilim on a sector name. The Nephilim are so much cooler than that. And very Slaaneshi. *sigh* Damn you GW writers. *grumble* Back to the friggin' drawing board. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
