Are WB *not* worshippers of Chaos Undivided anymore? When was this changed? Do you just mean that under current rules each squad can take a Chaos mark to change their Dark Pact bonuses? Because that can be explained as them praying to a specific god before the battle...

 

Fair enough. 

 

(I'm just being salty that the Slaves to Darkness/Pactbound Zealots detachment, which I thought fit the Black Legion really well, got hand-me-down'd to the Word Bearers in the 10th edition Codex, instead of a daemon-summoning detachment that I was hoping for.)

 

Quick note: while checking some old sources, I noticed that the Index Astartes articles (which created Dark Apostles) had this to say: "During the Horus Heresy most of the Chaplains of the Traitor Legions resisted the taint of Chaos and were murdered by their brethren. The Chaplains of the Word Bearers Legion embraced Chaos willingly though and as an act of faith ritually desecrated their once sacred weapons."

 

(As explanation for why Dark Apostles - via the Accursed Crozius daemon weapon - were Word Bearer only.) 

 

Now obviously that's changed, and in 6th Dark Apostles became a common unit, available to all. But if the idea of Cult Legion codexes is to push them back into their 2nd and 3rd edition shape, it's not too surprising that other 2nd and 3rd edition concepts (and restrictions) start cropping up.

Guys, this evening I received the box and….prepare to be surprised, cause they are HUGE. Slightly taller than the common Plague Marine and Noise Marines I think are same or even taller than a Primaris. I’m stunned.

Enjoy the minis!

 

Quick question on the combat patrol. Are the infractors one squad of ten and what loadout does the sergeant there and the Lord exultant have please?

 

Thanks in advance and enjoy, such fun!

So Primaris become essentially typical marines in all but name, and thats the 'new' scale of Astartes.

Well sort of. They are still making the older Marines shorter than Primaris (Crowe is a recent example of one who is shorter than a Primaris, as is that Black Templar Castellan), it's just that the EC are tall and lean, likely to give them a unique silhouette so they don't blend into the larger CSM line.

Broke out Minicompare to see if I do some line things up a bit more. The baseline EC seem to be the same height as other CSM (as in just a bit shorter than Intercessors) while Noise Marines are about dead one with Primaris and Flawless Blades tower over everyone.

Hilarious.

I’m focusing on miniatures but I see the Lord is armed with spear and powerfist, the Champion with whip and plasma pistol. 
 

The miniatures are way better when you get them in your hands, GW pics don’t give justice to these sculpts.

Are Predators still Legends? I ask because EC are a brand new faction and I don't know if Legends apply to new factions?

 

 

Predators are gone.

"My Lord! The loyalist scum are taller now!"

"Curses upon the Corpse Emperor, we can't have that. Apothecary! Stretch my bones!"

Cheers boss, much appreciated.

 

Honestly, I cannot wait to get my hands on them. My spring break is going to involve a lot of building!

 

I've put together a 1k crusade list that I'll go at from the box(es). Old Christmas noise marine will stand in for the Kakophonist. I'll add things like flawless blades as the crusade goes on (and they get released).

 

Lord Exultant

10 Infractors

 

Lord Kakophonist 

Noise Marines 

Rhino

 

Lord Exultant

10 Tormentors 

 

Noise Marines

For those also interested in incorporating parts into 30k-era traitor EC forces, a youtuber ('Hellstorm Wargaming') did so in a recent video:

I saw that, kitbashing mkvi with spares. Works incredibly well. It seemed as though they wondered if GW would cancel their partnership over it. Here's hoping they don't.

With folks receiving the box, has anyone seen an image of all 17 of the heads in the Noise Marine kit?

 

(I'm curious about the 5 that haven't officially been shown off. All of the sprue images I've come across just showed the backs of the heads.)

Fair shout and seconded :)
