Toldavf Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm wondering, if new possessed models make them more like the now greater possessed, and with the speed boost, a unit of them running with a demon prince might be cool I think they will be a really vicious unit in any army that can protect them turn 1 for delivery turn 2. The unit size of max 10 seems strange given the punching power but it's the first time I've looked at possesed and seriously rated them. My night lords will have a unit though I may proxy something for them -3ld will mean I get the +1 to wound vs most things which is terrifying. @Toldavf DG has the new Defiler since their 9th Edition codex. It's cool. Ha so it does. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371366-what-to-expect-from-9e-csm/page/79/#findComment-5813873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 From what we saw in the teaser, I'd almost think visually the Possessed will look more like Gal Vorbak and Argel Tal, except not in MK IV armor.

Khornestar Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 How is the new chaos codex performing in play tests? I don’t believe anyone in this thread has access to the play test rules, or points.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) How is the new chaos codex performing in play tests? I don’t believe anyone in this thread has access to the play test rules, or points. Some, however, such as Iron Inspirit and Montfort have been sliding some elements of it into their lists, which while imperfect, gives some impression as to judging what difference the rules might make on the table top. The proof in the pudding will be the eating, of course, but until then at least some members have been trying to have a more informed speculation. That said, Khornestar is correct - these are not playtest rules, but rather are rumours gleaned from wherever they may have come. Take them with a grain (or a bucket, if that is your want) of salt. As of yet, no one here has indicated they are part of any play test or posted anything about such.

His last post indicated he's coordinating the timing of the rumors with his source. If you had access to an upcoming rules release, would you hold back? Drip feed them to the community? Most of the leaks I've seen are a firehose, not a sprinkler. Something about this is off.

I would if my source was in danger of being discovered, don't forget they all sign NDA's I know that from my own play test experience so there would be real world consequences for any leakers that are found.

Clockworkchris Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Gonna say it again, I am legit a nobody just happened to discover a playtester in the wild like a shiny pokemon. And im just sharing what i got. From day one i havent hid that i cannot vouch for these just that my source has now close to 7 months of 100% accuracy. Apart from that these are rumours and your treat them as such. I ask questions, he answers them if he feels like it. Now james workshop seems to get pissy since 75% of a codex that is suppose to to come out in 2 months are all over the web. What do you think our humble benefactors going to do? Tldr This is a rumour thread talking about rumours and even myself are treating these as rumours, hoping they are somewhat true.i dont have to share these and will stop sharing these if my person of someone elses character is put into question (ie iron inspirit) this is a rumour thread so let talk about the rumours and the facts before us.

Khornestar Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Infighting and warp dust, you know you’re in Chaosville. ;) I encourage anyone interested to give these rumored rules a try, and discuss your results. What else is there to do right now? Objectively, we can’t say they’re the real rules but when those are finally in our hot little hands we can see for ourselves and do it all over again.

Warsmith sargos Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hello all, Just to keep you guys updated. Like some of of you have noticed ive been rather quiet during the past week and that because i've been rocking the boat a bit much and the eye of sauron is on the lookout. So for right now I am staying quiet while things cool down and hopefully some other people validate my carefully curated wall of text. However that doesnt mean im not collecting info. Once my source gives me the signal i will have a floodgate of info to share, and from what I have learnt today, its fracking lit. Keep dabbing to the dank gods Clockworkchris So pacing yourself then?. We still have plenty to discuss while you go hide in the eye of terror for a bit.What are peoples opinions on what the defiler should look like in the new dex? naturally the battle cannon should go up to damage 3, should its indirect fire return? should its auto cannons get a buff or change?, how potent in melee should it be? and can we get a less ugly model for it please?. Defiler battle cannon should be 2d3 (blast) shoots on visible targets and d6 vs non visible targets (no blast).The reaper autocannon should be a different weapon, its huge when you compare it to the Terminatos variant. Claws should be 3+d3 damage. Defiler should be 160 points max Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371366-what-to-expect-from-9e-csm/page/79/#findComment-5813992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiju Soze Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 12 would match the rumours coming out of Horus Heresy. It would also let you go "Lord and his full bodyguard in a Rhino".
