More rumors are here for all the Chaos Space Marines doctrines, marks, and icons rules that may be on the way in their new 40k codex book!
Obviously, these are rumors, so take them with as much salt as you need. However, with the new Chaos Space Marines Codex book on the horizon, there are bound to be some pretty strong leaks out there.
Plus, supposedly these come from a playtester and match up with previous rumors we have seen out there. So plenty to sink your Chaos teeth into!
Let’s check start with the Chaos Space Marines doctrine rumors then jump into the marks and icons (which are purchasable upgrades).
Chaos Space Marines “Doctrines” Rules
- Similar to SM Doctrine, except exploding 6s (unmodified hits) instead of +1AP. Still, 3 levels that affect different weapons (the weapons listed below are not confirmed by my sources, but the ones in the Legion Traits are confirmed by my sources as well as the names, so what I am about to list may be subject to change)
- Destruction ”Doctrine”: Heavy/grenade
- Massacre ”Doctrine”: Rapid fire/assault
- Slaughter ”Doctrine”: pistol/melee
Marks of Chaos
- Can only be applied to CORE & CHARACTERS and cost points
- Marks provide the keyword and a daemonic gift
- ”Daemonic Gifts”: (Included with mark)
- Khorne: +1S on the charge
- Nurgle: -1 to wound, IF S=T or S/2>=T
- Tzeentch: ignore all damage on the first missed save (this is per unit per turn)
- Slaanesh: fight first in the fight phase
Icons: (Purchasable Upgrade)
- Vengeance +1 CA
- Wrath +1ap melee
- Flame +1ap shooting
- Excess +1 to hit melee
- Despair 6’s to hit = autowound
The question is what else will we see for the followers of the dark gods this year?
