Rumors compilation (Chaos)

[pogysnacks]

Generally we should take rumors w a grain of salt..but the newest ones are pretty tasty ones : the 6thyou edition starter set is rumored to come out around the same time as the white dwarf previewing chaos in early September...
Now for some juicy tidbits: Ahriman: same stats as before, mastery level 3 pretty much an OG w witchfire powers
Typhus: same, except destroyer hive is str4 ap2 ignores cover
Kharne: 2+ deny the witch, immune to force weapons, grants hatred, has rage and still hits auto on 2+...also ya he's init5 again..no more init1 bullnuts
Abbaddon: same base stats: dracnyean +1str talon of Horus x2 str (so init 6 str 10)..grants preferred enemy to friendlies within 12" and makes chosen troops

Cult troops rumored all 20pts ea
Juicy: berzerkers have ap4 chainaxes
Chosen have 242618993647I gear options relatively cheap
Terminators 30pts ish: more customization than any other terminators in the game kept combi spam
Unique chaos weapons:
Unique chaos power axe: daemon weapon, str+2 ap2, unique (not init 1)
Unique chaos sword and maul: same as normal versions +daemon wpn
daemon weapons no longer prevent you from attacking on rolls of 1 just inflicts wounds and resume attacks as normal
Dragon flyer: can vector strike as MC, has 2to str 8+ heavy 4 guns
Ranged daemon engine: 2 str 8 ap4 heavy 4 guns
Close combat daemon engine: powerfists and meltas
That's all for now..get your red paint ready Crons are done

Interesting thing was the termies fully kitted out come to around 400 points for a 10 man unit and according to the rumors are the best terminators in the game.

Indeed they should be better than the pansy ass loyalist marines anyways ..but it feels very much like space wolves which is definitely a good thing..Phil kelly does phenomenal writing rules
