He works well with pretty much all of the units you want in the army, from Terminators to Chosen to Possessed, and hes good enough to elevate some of the armys more borderline units, like Obliterators and Land Raiders (giving a Land Raider T10 with Mutated Invigoration is pretty funny). This pairs well with the Mark of Tzeentch to give you two 4+ invulnerable saves to hand out per turn, but chances are you wont need Skeins if you have this. What else does GW have in store? This is a unit that can reliably hold the middle of the table with support from a Master of Possession and can brawl with most of the games major threats.

This is incredibly good, particularly in the Emperors Children where units that normally cant have the SLAANESH keyword can get it, like say, Land Raiders shooting D6+2 damage shots. But here's the thing, you don't have to wait. This is one of those stratagems youll very rarely use, but will be happy it exists when it keeps a unit alive on a back objective in close game. That unit gets +1 Toughness. The actions rider is a nice addition, though most of the actions people actually do these days finish at the end of their turn, so youll seldom use the first part unless its to prevent an action from being started the following turn. Upgrades a melee weapon to be a Relic and adds D3 to the weapons Damage characteristic. Now Marks of Chaos have a power and points cost,and they dont justonlyattach rules keywords to a unit or model; they grant them useful in-game abilities too. You can only make one attack, you get +1 to hit, and if you hit you do 2D3 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends. From there you have a number of options for the unit, mostly based on the kill team upgrade options. This isnt bad, but having a gun with Blast means that while the Defiler is in melee, a thing it is ostensibly here for, it cant shoot. This means your choice of chaos god patron for your army Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, or Chaos Undivided matters more than ever before, and itll change how your army performs on the battlefield. Its great for Terminators and Possessed, and particularly good against elite armies like Custodes that rely on having BS/WS 2+ and re-rolls to hit. But now?

This is separate from the HERETIC ASTARTES keyword in that it denotes the faction. You also want to give one a Cyclone missile launcher if youre taking one to maximize its output.

Its a very strong trick to have. Fast, tough, and thanks to Malicious Volleys able to push out a crazy number of bolter shots, Chaos Bikers can make a great addition to an army as a mobile fire base capable of putting out heavy volumes of mid-range, mid-strength shooting.

Word Bearers Esoterist / Diabolist Credit: RichyP. Thats not a bad profile for what you pay, and if you take an Ogryn, you use its Toughness for attacks against the unit and you have to allocate attacks and mortal wounds to the Ogryn first. When you hit with this weapon, the target takes D3 mortal wounds. The monofaction bonus for Chaos Space Marines, if every unit from your army has the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF CHAOS and UNALIGNED models), and every unit from your army is from the same Legion (except for Abaddon), then you get these rules: On top of this whenever a unit with this rule shoots with a flame weapon, when you determine how many attacks are made with the weapon you add 2 to the result.

All TRAITORIS ASTARTES units (excluding CULTISTS, SLAVES TO DARKNESS, and AGENTS OF CHAOS) with this ability gain a Legion Trait, provided every unit in your army is from the same Legion.

Each one comes with the. If you beat the units toughness, one model in the unit is destroyed. With the rise of Primaris Space Marines, he may now have all the new material hell ever need to twist Chaos Space Marines into new forms, finally perfecting his lifes work. Phew, that was an odyssey! But if you made a Defiler much better at one of those two things for cheaper, you just end up with Forgefiends and Maulerfiends. Like the Black Rune Of Damnation, its best use is giving it to a non-Characters unit leader to make a model that hits much harder than expected and comes with ablative bodies. The faster, less killy brother of the Lord of Skulls, the Kytan is essentially a Khorne Chaos Knight, only it retains the HERETIC ASTARTES, DAEMON, and keywords and is a DAEMON ENGINE, and so can benefit from a some faction synergies that Chaos Knights dont get, such as getting +1 to hit in melee form a Lord Discordant, or getting access to Chaos Space Marine Stratagems.

At base, they offer a 3-wound, 3-attacks, LD10, 2+ save model with Armour of Contempt, but add to that an Accursed Weapon that gives them an additional S5 AP-3 attack and youve got a unit that even in its base configuration can do quite a bit of damage and is hard to shift. On the whole, the ability to toss out mortal wounds at 24 is pretty solid, and Decimators offer that on a fairly durable platform. Note that, per the FAQ, the Liber Hereticus relic will not increase the range of this aura. On its surface this objective seems pretty solid, but once you start playing with it you quickly realize that scoring it is contingent on letting your opponent take objectives so you can kill them off those objectives or take them.

These are a horde unit and wont do much in either melee or ranged combat, but they will do one thing: theyll draw fire whilst you get your units into position. Hellbrutes used to have some weird outside play when they had 8 movement as cheap, mobile melee threats but since every 9th edition Codex has dropped them back to 6 movement theyve become slow vehicles that neither have enough attacks nor enough shooting to be good enough to see play. It also can benefit from the Smokescreen stratagem for -1 to Hit, making it surprisingly annoying for opponents to deal with. Pick a TZEENTCH unit within 18. That chaos symbol could probably give you tetanus and its not even that Nurgly. This will not be a problem for you, generally speaking there are a very limited number of HQ slots for you to work with and youll rarely want to double up on these units.

Chaos Space Marines look like Marines, but dont let that fool you: They have a very different feel and play style to standard Space Marines, with a much more aggressive melee-focused approach to the game. Although the Heldrake can drop into Hover mode and reliably make a turn 1 charge with its 20 movement, with only 5 attacks that do 2 damage against most targets, its seldom going to do real damage, and because its an AIRCRAFT it cant actually hold anything in combat units can just make a normal move to get away. On most tables your Executioners can act as reliable backfield objective holders and still be a potent threat. The Lord of Skulls is like a less mobile knight that trades access to Chaos Knight Stratagems and rules for the and DAEMON ENGINE KEYWORDS. This is kind of a double-edged sword however, as it means Chaos Space Marines armies are light on characters in the Elites slot, and so taking more than 3 will often mean having two detachments, something you dont want to do.
