Gifts of Chaos (1 CP). Gets you an extra Relic for a Character if your Warlord is a CSM Character. Very useful, because we have some great relics. In a fun twist, this can be used to give your model a second relic, provided it’s replacing a weapon, so your murdermonster warlord can have two relics if one is an upgraded weapon, though note you can’t use this if the model has a Daemon Weapon, limiting its effectiveness. You can use this twice in Strike Force games and three times in Onslaught games.

If a unit from your army starts your Movement phase embarked within a TRANSPORT model, that unit can disembark in that phase. If this unit starts the Fight phase within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it fights first that phase. Some weapons have ‘Blast’ listed in their profile’s abilities. These are referred to as Blast weapons. In addition to the normal rules, the following rules apply to Blast weapons: Daemon weapons saw a large change with the new Codex; now they upgrade weapons more generally, adding cool effects. Each one comes with the Daemon Weapon rule now, which has you roll 2D6 each time the bearer is selected to fight. Roll less than or equal to your Ld and you can fight normally. Go over and you can choose: Either take D3 mortal wounds and fight normally, or you can’t fight with the Daemon Weapon. This is an excellent tradeoff, and you’ll almost always be taking the wounds if you have to. There are some powerful effects here and a daemon weapon will make its way into almost every competitive Chaos Marines army. Daemon Weapons are Relics, and so to take one you’ll need to spend CP to get one as normal in competitive play. The Chaos Fellblade lost its transport capacity. This was always a hilarious oversight and it has now been corrected. RIP Fellblades carrying 25 dudes.Chapter Master • Master of the Keep • Master of Sanctity • Chief Librarian • Master of the Apothecarion • Master of the Forge • Master of the Watch • Master of the Fleet • Master of the Arsenal • Master of the Marches • Master of the Rites • Master of Relics • Chief Victualler • Lord Executioner • Master of Recruits • Master of Reconnaissance • Master of the Signal • Chapter Ancient • Primaris Ancient • Chapter Champion • Honour Guard The Vindicator is an Imperial siege tank based on the Rhino chassis used by many Space Marine Chapters that boasts the most powerful weapon of its type in the Adeptus Astartes' standard armoury, the Demolisher Cannon. It is highly valued and can only be issued to company officers whose units have been tasked with a specific tactical requirement. One of the new additions to the faction is the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword, which helps differentiate the more standard Chaos Space Marines from the likes of the Death Guard (Bubonic Astartes) and Thousand Sons (Arcana Astartes). This is separate from the HERETIC ASTARTES keyword in that it denotes the faction. Note that Cultists have the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword to mark them as of the same faction, but no longer have HERETIC ASTARTES, so they don’t get Armour of Contempt. Champions of Chaos

A Vindicator Siege Tank, Predator Destructor Battle Tank and Whirlwind Artillery Tank of the Dark Angels Chapter Space Marine Forces The origins of the Vindicator are fragmentary, although the earliest records show it was developed along with the other Rhino STC variants during the Dark Age of Technology. The fragments at the request of General Vindictis were recovered from the Librarius Omnis and within this request the General asked for a self-mobile weapon of high calibre, capable of following up with advancing armies and able to engage well-protected targets with a high angle of fire. It is believed that General Vindictus was personally responsible for instigating the idea of the 'Vindicator' so the vehicle was thus named in his honour. The record states that on the planet Rostern 10 assembled Vindicators fought against raiding Orks and though 9 out of 10 were ultimately destroyed in the process, Imperial forces were victorious. [1a] Other records show that the Vindicator was first fielded during the early years of the Horus Heresy on Rostern I, when massive Thunderer Cannons were mounted onto remodeled Rhinos and used to blast heavily dug-in Traitor positions among the urban rubble. [2a] Chosen come in units of 5-10 and can be given several different weapon options, including combi-weapons and double accursed weapons, though most of the time you’ll be kitting them out for melee, giving them a couple of power fists if you upgrade them at all. If you do manage to kill an enemy unit with your Chosen they get to count as engaged in all three Wanton modes for the rest of the game, which is a fun bonus if they can shoot something to death early but most games won’t matter as they’ll be geared out for melee. This is your option for bog-standard Chaos Space Marines, though thanks to Kill Team: Nachmund, they now have a ton of options and ways to be kitted out that make Legionaries useful includes in a Chaos Space Marines army. While they’re not the most efficient units in the codex, they definitely have some real play depending on your Legion and playstyle.As laid down by the Codex Astartes, the Vindicator's chief role is in urban combat, to provide assault and tactical squads with destructive firepower against enemy strongpoints and snipers. Standard combat doctrine has the Vindicator advance down a street towards the target structure, supported by Space Marine squads advancing from building to building on either side of it, blasting holes in the walls if necessary. Once in position, the Vindicator opens fire on the target building, reducing much of it to rubble and opening the way for subsequent assault by Space Marines with close-combat weaponry. [1a]
