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.

Fulgrim is on a 130mm.

I'm not doubting it but this means he's on a larger base than his brothers or younger self. Curious.

The model designers tried to fit him on a 100mm, but he's dummy snekk.

130mm is slightly annoying from a consistency standpoint, but I will survive.

 

Then again him hogging more space than default is also in character.

The extra 30mm was for his ego.

Minicompare was updated accordingly.

 

While I did like the idea that Fulgrim was the shortest of the four (completely disregarding his tail in his complete length of course) this works out nicely.
