SarLuther Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I was expecting there to be at least one a week, but things aren’t progressing quickly. To be fair, they were a bit clear on things. Expect slowness.https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/04/18/two-wounds-are-only-the-beginning-for-chaos-space-marine-legionaries/ More information is leaking from the Eye of Terror as we speak, so stay tuned to Warhammer Community as we drip-feed the juiciest reveals in the coming months. Aye, it would be wishful thinking to get both HH and CSM in the same month I think. HH is arguably the bigger release and needs more advertising/time investment. I'd love for CSM to be released tomorrow but I think a reasonable guess would be last weekend of June/first weekend of July at the earliest. Plus if the rumours are true about how long the HH box has been ready to be released and delayed for, the HH fans deserve to pip us to release I'll definitely be glad to see the loadouts available for all units in the codex and whether they've changed after playtesting. If I can have 5 man squads with a heavy weapon (like loyalists) I'll at least be somewhat happy with the Legionnaire changes ....and I am waiting to see if I can give 2 special weapon to my full-melee 10-men Chaos Space Marine marked Khorne who definitely don't want a heavy weapon in the squad....

Why the flamer cultist is on a different datasheet? Isn't the flamer just a weapon? 2nd perplexity: the leaks told of a 10-20 men squad, why the box (the repack of Blackstone) still just has 8 men?

It isn't a new kit, thats why, it was some of the 'baddies' from Blackstone fortress, the board game that was released separately, quite some time ago and has now been reboxed, why we're talking about it is because the new cultists that going to be out soon are like these.

Warsmith Anarax Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The BSF cultists now that they have a repackaging and name is prob a new unit or coulb be a sort of reinforcements box for the new cultits. If it is reinforcements that would seem to imply that cultists can take auto guns. No proof of this, just spitballing.

If it is reinforcements that would seem to imply that cultists can take auto guns. No proof of this, just spitballing. That would be just great. The esthetic of the new kit is matching. Weapons are good. Granade "are there" is good.

Prophet of the Despoiler Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I remember reading that loads changed in the eldar codex before release. I hope that’s the case here as well.

WrathOfTheLion Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Would certainly be cool if the other blackstone fortress things, such as the rogue psykers, made it in as datasheets as well.

No. It looks exactly like any other box you'd buy for any other army. Since it is was repackaged leads me to believe that it will have rules support in the new book as its own unit.

I saw the post today and went to check and sure enough it was the repackaged cultists of the abyss But the "of the Abyss" has been removed. They are just "cultists" on the box. That should mean they will be just playable. Probably some lines of the rules were missing from the "source" playtest copy.

The instruction book just says cultist, cultist champion, and cultist firebrand. I'm not sure where these guys will fit. I'm assuming they will be their own unit based on how they're boxed with the exception of the firebrand who will probably be his own character like he is now. It also could be a reinforcements type kit so you can put some different weapons in the new squad. We'll just have to wait and see cause the box or instructions don't indicate anything.

Cheex Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I think it's far more likely that GW will just reduce the minimum squad size (e.g. to 5) and maybe provide incentives to take larger squads (e.g. Cultist characters can buff only one unit, so MSU is less useful).
