Chaos Rumors

[pogysnacks]

Now I went through the compiled rumors and though some of them seem as far fetched as usual (I.e. Horus aximand and Honsou being special characters), some seemed rather true, now this particular one perked me up more than usual: Abbadon will be higher than 275 points and will literally be able to kill everything...sounds about right he is the despoiler: aka single most powerful hero in warhammer, rumored clone of Horus etc. Etc. Legitimately this guy should be nigh unstoppable nobody in the fluff would beat him hand to hand...here's a kicker though: he unlock terminators as troops...:chaos justaerin terminator army anyone? Oh with the rumored th ss..just a tidbit for you all

I heard there was going to be a new flyer unit, and some unit that can mess with terrain. Is this true? And I think it's going to be hard for Abbadon to kill anything without arms.

Hey Pog, while I admit to being more than a little interested in the new Chaos Codex, I have tried to take some of the rumors with a grain of salt and not get my hopes up too high. My fears are another bad codex or almost equally worse, a good one, where for the next six or so months I am stuck playing "corrupted" Grey Knights and their former Imperial brethren and then I will have to hear a chorus of excuses for not proper modeling like " I am testing the rules", "I havent had time or money to get a new army", "Yeah they look like Ultramarines but they are thinking very Chaotic thoughts", etc. If Chaos gets TH/SS options listen closely to the sound of thousands of terminators losing their arms. Mine of course were magnetized to start with!

Yea man, ultramarines thinking chaotic thoughts? Like turning left instead of right on the parade ground? Haha im stripping my old black legion marines and going to Iron Warriors, adding some berzerkers like in storm of Iron..hell maybe even 12 obliterators

[MajorSoB]

Just in case you didm't know, rumor has it that 12 is the new sacred number of the Obliterator cult.

[pogysnacks]

So that means we can take 12a close combat ones too!! Oh grey knights and how they're effectiveness vs 2+ saves has greatly diminished

so will this most likely be the release date for the new chaos stuff?

That almost feels like Gw is gonna release demons before chaos space marines, good thing the 5 demons players will be getting a codex in that case

It was my understanding that october was going to be the preorder but that showed 8/25. With WD releasing 8/25 my guess is this is referencing the WD which will have the new starter box (released in sept) and preludes to the upcoming Chaos dex in Oct.
