It's model per model.  And if you're asking about my list in particular, I didn't 'buy' any ccweps, rather just traded some bolters for them, a free option.

 

And not one I recommend, either, it's a wysiwyg thing.  Under the 4e book, all chaos marines just had BP/CCW/Boltgun by default, and since the models didn't all have each this was commonly represented by mixing some bolter guys and some bp/ccwep guys into your units.  Which I did, and now almost a decade later I'm stuck with some less-than-ideal equipment distributions.

 

Way back in 3.5, chaos marines had close combat weapons and either bolters or bolt pistols, no option for both at all, and you did have to pick for the entire unit, you couldn't mix and match within a unit.  Some people still remember it that way, even though it hasn't been like that for longer than some younger 40k players have been alive at this point.

I ran a squad of five with all three optonsin a tournament this past weekend with a sorcerer.  It was funny seeing peoples reactions when they charged them and they hit back with a bunch of extra attacks after overwatching with bolters.

New Black Legion story by ADB

THE STORY
The Horus Heresy is over. The traitorous Warmaster is dead, his allies defeated, and the Sons of Horus are a dying Legion, fled now to the furthest reaches of the galaxy... and beyond. First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon, always among the most devoted and bellicose of his brethren, is now set adrift – who will rise to claim the title of Warmaster? Who will lead them in their long war for vengeance? And will that hallowed champion of the Ruinous Powers be able to reunite the old XVIth before they embrace extinction?

Far from a new story. It already was in the First Edition of The Talon of Horus.

A quick question: does the old topic no longer exist in any way, shape or form? I ask because I'm looking for a particular post I made in it, and I can't find the topic, either in the live forums or the archives when I search for it...

I think its gone the way of Cadia mate; Sen Insane Psychopath a pm he may be able to help out

In other news, I had a game against my brothers Iron Warriors the other night, which resulted in a loss for the Legion, but before making his escape the Warmaster did pose for a quick photo -

Also during the game....I actually rolled 1's for each and every Daemon Weapon roll; that's right ALL FIVE were the dreaded 1 across five combat phases and two characters...!!! Although my deep strikes were all scatter free, there is Chaos for you

EDIT - re-linked photo, thanks a bunch photobucket, you waste of band width!

That's hilarious. that means I bought it twice. lol And read it twice without knowing it!

 

Wow I gotta slow down. I read so much of this stuff it starts to collide.

 

I really enjoyed the piece though and thought it was a good mood setter and shows me how starts his long journey.

Those are some lovely terminators, MR.

I Oberonkhan, through my avatar in plastic Krios the Corrupter, pledge The Disciples of Krios to the Despoiler's cause. We stand ready to fight at your call. May the galaxy burn.

Thanks buddy :tu:

 

Welcome to the Bringers of Despair Oberonkhan :)

 

I was just wondering, what type of lists are you guys running nowadays? Me personally, and this is because my meta is fairly relaxed I guess, is a Traitors Hate Warband with a small CAD to allow access to FW goodies; typical list as follows @ 1750 -

 

CAD (BLACK LEGION)

(1) Abaddon the Despoiler

 

(3) Terminators

MoK, 3xCombi-Melta, Chainfist

 

(10) Cultists

 

(2) Rapier Platforms

Hades Auto Cannons

 

(1) Sicaran

Heavy Bolter sponsons

 

TRAITORS HATE CHAOS WARBAND

(BLACK LEGION)

(1) Chaos Lord

Urkanthos, Lord Purgator

MoK, Axe if Blind Fury, Sigil, Juggernaut, VoLW

 

(4) Terminators

MoT, 4xCombi-Plasma, VoLW, Chainfist, Powerfist

 

(5) CSM

Mok, +ccw, VoLW

-Rhino w/Dirge Caster

 

 

(5) CSM

Mok, +ccw, VoLW

-Rhino w/Dirge Caster

 

(5) Bikes

Mok, (2) Meltagun, Combi-Melta, VoLW

 

(3) Bikes

Mok, (2) Meltagun, Combi-Melta, VoLW

 

(1) Helbrute

Multimelta, Powerfist

 

AUXILIARY

(1) Spawn

 

The marks are for flavour (and wysiwyg!), I know I should get rid but yanno, I am a sucker for Khorne :D though the Juggerlord does really well with all the boons, and I did get a Dark Apotheosis for a Champion recently; I love the TH Warband for the ObSec really over the BL version. Lots of ObSec for the price of a Helbrute and a Spawn. I use Abaddon just deepstriking in with the Tzeentch Termies and prey to the Dark Gods, whilst the MSU Termis just try and melt something (Khorne for style points remember!) and obvs CAD for the FW.

 

When models allow I do fancy running the Hounds core with a load of Deepstriking for fun. Maybe run the Berzekers in a Dreadclaw.

Midnight Runner - You should post some photos you've show in your army log onto this topic, for member who may not seen them in the Forge?
 

Though I would re-add this to the Black Legion commuinty.  GW Studio memeber Christian Byrne Black Legion force, which can also be found in past White Dwarf.  This was back in 2006 when I saw the army & fought against in Warhammer World.

[Midnightmare]

Same here :)

 

I am currently reading Betrayer actually as I am starting a Heresy World Eater force too, so that is a bit of a must read! By starting a Heresy era force I mean I have bought the red books and got myself forty FW chain axes and B@C, no breaks* and all :D I am not adding to my Black Legion until I know what happens with this end times and Abaddon malarkey, just trying to work through my back log of grey plastic. Currently on the painting table is rapier crewmen B)

My Warband, the Harbingers of Hate swear eternal allegiance to the Warmaster and an oath of blood to the Hounds of Abaddon.

Let us hunt down the false emperor and his lackeys.

We will make them pay for what they have done - let the galaxy burn!

 

My humble WIP:

Apparently his new book is going to feature the Emperor's Spears Space Marine Chaoter. Currently the only background they have is a pic so I'm really looking forward to how that turns out.

[40kChrista]

This is awesome... I was wondering when the second book was going to turn up.

[hushrong]

Yes please! Finished rereading Talon of Horus again and getting desperate for more.

[Akylas]

Anyone getting hyped to expand their Black Legion forces for eighth edition? I'm hopeful (first step to disappointment and all) and am building a shadow war team to get back into painting.

I'm just waiting for new Chaos Marines models get release before I get my Black Legion force on the go again.  Same goes with my World Eater/Daemonkin, Night Lords & Red Corsairs.

 

But I'm looking forward to it.

 

I'm really looking forward 8th ed from what I've seen so far (no deathstar, local tournament are going be fun again :D ).  If given the chose I'd happily start using them now.

 

Then we've got ADB Black Legion novel out in a few month time.  I'm aim re-read Talons of Horus just get some idea's.

[Akylas]

Other than trying to sort out my backlog I have to admit the only new chaos purchase I've made is some cultists (more for Shadow War) and the Exalted Sorcerors set (for the lovely bitz).

 

Other than the new, upgraded marines I'm pretty stoked about what I've seen so far. Rules that are more balanced and better yet also interesting would get me to flesh my warband out with vehicles and other support units. New basic marines, daresay even some cool chosen kit with lots of bitz? GW might as well directly access my bank account then.

 

I need to reread Talon of Horus, too. Maybe restart Ahriman for some Tzeentch inspiration.

[thamier]

to this date talon of horus is my favorite black libary book. might have to read it a 5th time.im gonna focus a bit on demons atm but ill get back to my legion soon, still getting to know the rules having a hard time uildi g a 1000 point black legion list to see how good they can be this edition. very excited!
