Chaos, It Has Marked Us All


        Chaos, It Has Marked Us All


Chaos Space Marines, the first codex of 6th, has dropped. We have all had enough time to digest it for the most part and make our own conclusions about the book, the Good, the Bad, and for the most part, the Bland.

The new codex has presented itself as rather in the middle in terms of power and flavor. The later being quite ironic as Chaos is the most flavorful of all the armies in 40k. The book is a definite improvement over the dull, repetitiveness of the last book, but falls short of the 3.5 Codex. In all honesty, it feels a lot like the original 3rd edition codex for chaos, lots of units, but not a lot in the options department.



Even though the codex is "bland" in comparison to the Grey Knight book, it does offer a player a lot of variety. The book has a total of 7(8 if you count Plague Zombies) troop choices. that is a huge number of Force Organization Manipulation. More so than any other codex. This means that even though the Legions were not represented like with the aforementioned 3.5 codex, you still have a lot of options to make your legion.

I, for one, will be making the World Eaters legion. Khorne was my second army in 40k. Like most players, I started with Space Marines, and again, like most players(especially those too young to drive) my attention wandered from the generic Space Marines to an army I deemed "cooler." Khorne fit that bill just right.
The new codex, while "bland" has reinvigorated my love for Khorne (Praise him!), and all things Chaos. This book appears to be balanced for the most part, and I feel the combination of rules like Chaos Boon table, as well as some of the generic, yet diversified units/characters, can go a long way with a little imagination.

I will soon be embarking on a series of articles detailing my decent into the warp riddled land scape of the Eye of Terror and hopefully showing you a few cool conversions at the same time. My main focus on conversions will be the new Dark Vengeance set. I plan on converting all my Berserkers from the Chosen, using pieces of the Hellbrute to add to a Demon Prince and making a Dark Apostle out of the Chaos Lord. This army will truly be a labor of love and hopefully look as good on the table as it does in my head. Stay tuned for more...

  1. That sounds pretty awesome, are you going for word bearers, world eaters or just a generic khornate army.

  3. The timing of the move as much as possible in the GCD, as you point insight into the BIU will be able to move about, the Halo CD when you can gradually move to the wow world of warcraft gold midfield, get better soon and then move out.
