Liber Hereticus – PSYKER model only. Lets you manifest one additional power per phase, and each time you manifest a power you add 6” to the effects. This won’t affect auras (per the FAQ), so Cursed Earth isn’t getting buffed, but it can give some powers incredibly long range, such as Smite, Pact of Flesh, and Warp Marked. It won’t help you on Psychic Interrogation sadly, but the extra cast is also very strong for your marked Master of Possession. A

Each mark confers certain abilities on the unit, based on the mark and their equipment. You can find more on the math behind the marks and how they affect play in our Hammer of Math article on the topic. The Legion Trait rules apply to all of your units (with the exceptions listed above), not just your INFANTRY, HELBRUTES, and BIKERS, as used to be the case. In addition to giving you special rules, Legions also give you access to Stratagems, Warlord Traits, Relics, and Secondary Objectives. The Warp’s Malice – This relic bolt pistol has 18” range, is Pistol 2, and S5, AP-2 2 damage, plus in Wanton Massacre or Slaughter it becomes Pistol 4. As an added bonus, whenever it rolls an unmodified hit roll of 6, it just does 2 mortal wounds and the sequence ends. Kind of like a ranged version of the Blade of the Relentless. Not bad, given how much you get, but ultimately not good enough to make your list unless you have some way to get hit re-rolls or guarantee hit rolls of 6. B- Spartan Assault Tank • Fellblade • Decimator • Typhon Heavy Siege Tank • Lord of Skulls • Death Wheel • Plaguereaper • Plagueburst Crawler • Silver Tower of TzeentchOn the whole, the Enforcer is just OK. The Ogryn’s an interesting beater, but ultimately there’s no shortage of good melee threats in the Elites slot for Chaos Space Marines. The attrition benefit is OK, but given your traitor guardsmen are 7 Ld and only come in units of 10 it’s not super likely you’ll use it in most games. Chaos Terminator Squad

Scythes of the Emperor Chapter - The Scythes of the Emperor used Vindicators during the Defence of Miral Prime against the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Kraken. It is invaluable in urban warfare as it can blast and shunt its way through barricades and obstacles, enabling troops following behind free passage through streets that might have otherwise swiftly degenerated into kill zones. A powerful assault tank, the Deimos Vindicator's principal armament is a heavy-calibre Demolisher Cannon capable of shattering fortifications and breaching the armour plates of tanks with equal ease. During the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, it was possible for the Vindicator to be armed with a Laser Destroyer Array instead of a Demolisher Cannon. The vehicle could also be equipped with an auxiliary drive system, armoured ceramite plating, and a Machine Spirit, along with a variety of pintle-mounted weapons, including Combi-Bolters or other Combi-weapons, a Havoc Missile Launcher, and either a single Heavy Flamer, or a Heavy Bolter.

So how do you want to load these guys out? Well you’ve got a few options, though you’re still probably only taking a single big unit: Command Squad • Reclusiam Command Squad • Captain • Primaris Captain • Lieutenant • Primaris Lieutenant • Company Ancient • Company Champion Contemptor Dreadnought • Deredeo Dreadnought • Leviathan Dreadnought • Arquitor • Cerberus • Deimos Rhino • Deimos Predator • Falchion • Fellblade • Javelin • Jetbike • Kratos • Land Raider Proteus • Land Raider Achilles • Mastodon • Sabre • Sicaran • Spartan • Typhon • Whirlwind Scorpius • Stormbird • Dreadclaw • Kharybdis Assault Claw Reaper — Scythes of the Emperor. Destroyed by the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Kraken in the defence of Miral Prime. [1b] Units that disembark from a TRANSPORT model that made a Normal move this phase count as having made a Normal move themselves; they cannot move further during this phase. Such a unit also cannot declare a charge in the same turn, but can otherwise act normally in the remainder of the turn.

As an added bonus, this model is a WARP LOCUS, so he can drop in any Daemon codex units that have tagged along a mere 6” from the enemy. Flamers and Bloodletters love getting close to the enemy, but do note he is restricted to Warp Locus-ing units from the same God if he is anything besides Undivided. Dark Apostle There are four different units Chaos Space Marine armies can pull from the specialized legions, three of which are in other books/supplements. These are: At the start of the third battle round, select either Wanton Massacre or Wanton Slaughter; until the end of that battle round, your army (and every unit from it) is engaged in the wanton act you selected. The Chaos Fellblade lost its transport capacity. This was always a hilarious oversight and it has now been corrected. RIP Fellblades carrying 25 dudes. Chaos Space Marines have access to a variety of relics, with a set that are available for every legion and sets that are exclusive to each legion. In addition, Chaos Space Marines have Daemon Weapons, special Relic upgrades for weapons, most of which require a specific mark of Chaos.For Chaos Space Marines, you have access to two disciplines: The Dark Hereticus discipline and the Malefic discipline. The Malefic discipline is the clear winner of the two from a power level standpoint, but there are some gems in the Dark Hereticus Discipline you’ll want to consider. Only Masters of Possession get access to the Malefic Discipline. In addition to these there are three god-aligned psychic powers you’ll get if your psyker has the appropriate mark. They’re all solid and free once you’ve paid the points/Power Level to upgrade that psyker with the relevant Mark. The Dark Hereticus Discipline Knights got a few text updates that correct typos on the Moirax and Styrix datasheets, specifically for their degrading profiles, but nothing substantial changed. Likewise, some similar adjustments were made to the titans.
