We’re starting to see rumors surrounding the Grey Knights and CSM codexes. Come take a look at the latest rules from both books.
The latest rules rumor was spotted over on Blood of Kittens, but the original source remains a mystery. These are just rumors-ish (there are a lot of verified rules as well from GW themselves), so make sure you add a pinch of salt. It’s also possible that these items have been complied from other sources not yet available like the AUG White Dwarf.
Also note the new World Eaters teasers are not listed.
New Psychic Powers
- Vortex of Doom:
Stratagems
- Finest Hour: 2CP Use at the start of your turn. A single Character can double the range of any aura ability on its datasheet to 12″ for this turn.

Leaked Rules
- Grand Masters can take Nemesis Dreadknight Armour.
So, according to BOK, we’re getting our first look at 4 new Stratagems for the Grey Knights, and the Grand Masters will be able to take Nemesis Dreadknight Armor. But they didn’t stop there, they also put out a compilation of rules from the Codex: Chaos Space Marines as well.

Stratagems:
- Veterans of the Long War: CP? +1 to wound rolls
Chaos Legion Specific Stratagems:
- Slaanesh Endless Cacophony: 2 CP use this at the end of your Shooting phase. Select Slaanesh Infantry or Biker unit that unit can immediately shoot again
- In Midnight Clad: 1 CP When a Night Lord infantry unit is targeted by a shooting attack for the rest of the phase your opponent must subtract 1 from all hit rolls that target that unit.
- Fury of Khorne: CP3 At the end of the Fight phase attack for additional time.
We’re seeing a TON of rules for the Chaos Space Marines, and, if the rumors are true, it’s looking like the Imperium is going to have their hands full. Veterans of the Long War is a Stratagem that gives +1 to wound rolls, but there’s a big question mark next to the Command Points cost.
