Does the nightlords trait stack with itself if multiple units are nearby? Seems like a reasonable way to get enemies to ld5
Abaddon's Dark Destiny means he can't lose more than 3 wounds a phase ….. DID THEY JUST BUILD HIS PLOT ARMOR INTO THE GAME?!?!?!?
So am i right in saying i can not have a full cultist army any more? Even though we just had new models for cultists lol
So, do space marine melee armies want to charge CSM?
Space wolves, Blood angels…
Are SM loyals weaker than chaos?
For Iron Warriors, þe Dour Duty stratagem is specifically for Core Infantry while Unholy Vigor is Daemon Engines and Machine Spirits, so I don't þink þey compete
Does the new Alpha Legion WL Trait stack with the Legion bonus rule?
With the trait you cant hit the WL on 1-3s and the Alpha Legion rule is -1 to hit when the WL is more than 12 inch away.
so are Black Legion units with Chaos Undivided icons immune to Combat attrition? since their rolls of 1 will get bumped up to a 2, and they can't take any penalties to their combat attrition rolls. seems pretty neat if that's how it works
Contempt over caution seems amazing for a squad of warpflamer rubrics. The flamers can't roll 1s
Thank you. This video is hands down, the best CSM breakdown on YouTube. It was hugely helpful.
This book looks terrible
The Alpharius warlord trait is amazing because you can keep it rotating. You can ALWAYS select it.
is endless cacophony stratagem no longer available??
quite sadge that my Terminator lord been working got shot down, as were making full World Eaters Terminator Lord but cannot give Power axe and Chainfist for doing heavy damage on both Infantry and tanks.
So, Renegades got destroyed then?
Is just me, or the nerf to wargear is aimed to force players to specialize in daemonic units?
Does gifts of chaos allow the warlord to take an additional relic by chance? One with the relic strat and another with this one?
So say my night lords where In combat with a squad of intercessors would I get the +1 against the whole squad except the sergeant?
Codex overall is very mediocre/ weak… it seems unfinished, with really weird decisions made about loadouts, accessibility of marks and core. CSM try to do everything a little and does nothing well. Abaddon carries this entire faction once again – he will be surely nerfed.
does the rewording of the venomcrawlers (reservoir of daemonic energy) now make it stack?
Do cultists still get autoguns tho??? This seems to be over looked alot.
Wait… Does this mean you could give a Slaaneshi Alpha Legion Lord the Drakescale Plate, Clandestine, and two weapons of your choice juiced up as Thaa'ris and Rhi'ol?
That would mean a 2+sv that doesn't break Armour of Contempt, outside 12" count as in light cover, +1sv in cover (total +2), unmodified hit rolls 1-3 always fail, unmodified wound rolls 1-3 always fail, Fights First, and 2D3 extra attacks on w/e weapon you want to double up on.
man it is pathetic how many people are calling the book garbage just because it got rid of a few loadouts. People need to learn to not hyperfocus on one aspect and look at the book as a whole to realize this is an objective improvement. bunch of crybabies this community can be
Night Lords have no special characters. They didn't put in Decimus or Malcharion, I would have liked to have seen Malcharion.
Everything else was good, but Night Lords still haven't completely gotten the Xarl/Cyrion/Variel/Talos individual feel that does the right things for the legion.
My idea for a chapter approved change to the Night Lords:
When the whole army is Night Lords:
HQ:
Malcharion: 250 points
Helbrute with leadership benefit for the army-
-"War Sage" Trait: Units within 18" are fearless, and Masters of Executions, and Legionnaires gain plus one strength.
-"Students of War" trait: Master of Executions have studied Malcharion's writings and gain plus 1 toughness, plus 1 to attacks, and plus 1" when moving.
Lords of Execution:
Night Lords Masters of Executions squad (Legionnaire Veterans):
This would have given them the individual feel, and the idea of bringing in the troop layout from the novels.
– Points cost of Terminators
– Basically a 5-10 man Master of Executions/Old Style Command squad template that can constantly turn on one another verbally ( Rolls of 1 to wound lead to reduced leadership for morale rolls during the enemy hit phase).
Wargear Options:
1. "Dark Apothecaries"- Can heal D6 wounds for legionnaires
at the of an opponents turn.
– For every dead legionnaire the unit
gains plus 1 leadership.
– Can be equipped with a power weapon.
2. "Lords of Combat/Executions" – Regular Master of Executions option but
can use a 2 handed Chain Blade
or Chain Axe.
– Spare Teeth Option:
Chain weapons are 2 handed,
ancient, and wielded by
veteran warriors in this unit.
They can fight 1 additional time
in a fight phase, one time per game.
3. " Legionnaire Bearers"- Lords of execution who are able to take a Chaos sign.
Master of Executions Unit Traits: " I hate my brother" – Lords of Execution
despise one another and other Night Lords
except those from HQ options, and
will therefore remain in a fight as an
act of contempt towards other
Legionnaires. Lords of Execution who roll
a 6 once per game automatically pass morale
checks for the remainder of the game.
Is the Khorne Daemon Relic + d3 damage for all the attacks or do you roll individually for each attack that gets to the damage part of the fight phase
I dont understand – how does one give the black rune of damnation to a terminator squad? It's a relic… doesn't it have to go on a character?
The fact that Exalted Champion wargear options got limited because of his sprue that was made for Dark Vengence box like 10 years ago and then you couldn't find this model at GW Shop for like next 7 or 8 years is mindboggling.
Biggest insult is making us buy 3 damn books to play Undivided, and shafting our WYSIWYG
I’ve been waiting for new cultists
This may be a good place to ask that question 🙂 I'm just starting my adventure with 40k tabletop (I know some lore, played many games, just never played tabletop). I wanted to go with death guard (I hestitaded between DG and csm) but when I went to the store to get them I was advised to better go with CSM, since they are much more versatile and should be more fun to play and I bought them. Was that a good choice? 🙂
I realize this is about 3 months late, but why did GW ditch the "create your own chapter" like loyalist space marines? Not suggesting the legion traits are bad, but if you want to do an army like the Purge or the Pyre, you're boned.
I am only just returning after 20 years away from the hobby. So much of this has gone over my head 😅
Suppose I just need to buy some figures and remortgage the house for some paints.
