codex crimson slaughter.... yup, GW really hates us.

I might just have to order that supplement actually, I like more and more of what I hear about it...

Here's the actual art used on the cover:  http://ukitakumuki.deviantart.com/art/Games-Workshop-Codex-Crimson-Slaughter-439662167
Can see a bunch of details (he has a third eye in the middle of his helmet arrow, demons in the background, etc)
Pretty Awesome.

Woah.  O_O

This was done about a year back, the challenge was to portray a world on

its knees having been steamrolled by the Crimson Slaughter and their

chaos auxiliaries.

Burning flags and corpse-mounds and demons picking

apart stragglers mid-flight! When asked what other ideas he'd like to

see, Darius Hinks requested a foot to be placed on the head of a fallen

marine and so on it went onto the face of a Dark Angel. http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif

Love that last line - "Sounds Good. But have him grinding an Imperial's face into the dirt."

As a non chaos player I don't see what all the fuss is about. It seems you have a wide variety of codex choices in 6th vanilla, vanilla with sprinkles and vanilla with a slightly different kind of sprinkles. I'll wait to see the new book before passing full judgement but I was hoping for something a little more character full to inspire me to paint my DV chaos models.

[Brother Ambroz]

That's just it, non "chaos" players just see it as one faction, where as all C:CSM and C:Daemon players know there are innumerable factions, every one of whom is unique in their own way. You know, sort of like the "chapters" marines have.

[Akylas]

I think JJD is being sarcastic when he says our choices are vanilla, vanilla with sprinkles and, vanilla with a different kind of sprinkles and wishing the new book will have something to give him some inspiration with his DV models.

 

That aside I agree totally with your post, Tanith Ghost.

Wiping out a planets population without it becoming a demon world and still being able to up keep demons after 1 year[terran??] is no small feat to be honest.

Holy crap, that div relic gets better and better, who cares about DtW when you can have a Ml3 Div re-rolling powers.

 

and in other news GW still seems to think fear is actually a decent rule

[Scribe]

Hmm, interesting.

 

WORLD EATER SUPPLEMENT PLEASE.

[Hellrender]

Well, fear witht he warlord trait that does -2 Ld. I like against tau and such. 

[daboarder]

why would you care about fear with tau?

 

you were already going to kick their ass in combat

[Wayniac]

So... good/bad/indifferent?

They can't think it's that good if they're giving it army wide for free!

[daboarder]

provided theres no sneaky crap like , units may not purchase VotLW, I think this is good.

 

wordbearer players should be pretty happy. possessed troops with a half descent table (no idea what happens to embarked possessed who roll beasts though) and the ability to turn a HQ choice into a "possessed" and buff Dark apostles a little....

 

Still dont know why they didnt just go with word bearers

 

Night lords players can be fairly happy with the army wide fear too

 

and there is  the potential for 1ksons to finally get access to div

[Hellrender]

Maybe because of the community backlash about the fluff whenever they have done an established army. 

[Wayniac]

I might be a newbie to Chaos in this edition but I'm excited for them :D

[daboarder]

hmmmm

 

I wonder how much its going to cost to kit out a Dark apostle with the maul and the 2+ save, I could definitely think about running that occasionally if I could get psudeo terminator plate.

 

would be an AWESOME conversion potential too.

 

165-170 pts......?

[d@n]

I'm surprised that no one has picked up that preferred enemy, plasma chosen are going to be devastating. Suck on that sternguard

Assuming it is legit. Let's face it, the rumors have been proven wrong the day of before. Salt should be recommended.

[Brother Ambroz]

Will it be PE: All or something specific? If that Soul Siphon thing is a daemon weapon with an extra D6 attacks and unaligned then that's pretty sweet. Yeah rerolling div powers trumps DtW. Kinda like the 6th relic too, not competitive but it's kinda cool if you're actually going to take the possessed.

[Slayer le Boucher]

A Khorne Lord on Jugger with the Soul Siphon weapon, the armour and the Deamonheart...i think i like what i see...*evil laugh*

[Gratan]

Well, I'm excited.

[daboarder]

At least Krannon has put the stupid relic debate to bed, clearly you can have more than one of them at a time
