New rules changes are on the way in the updated Chaos Space Marine Codex and more will be next week’s pre-orders for June 25th.
Games Workshop just let us in on all the new releases that will be going up for pre-order this coming Saturday at 1 PM Eastern time here in the states.
Codex: Chaos Space Marines
The new Codex: Chaos Space Marines is bursting with evil, covering all the rules you need to let the galaxy burn. Included are eight subfactions, plus datasheets for 44 units, as well as Relics, Stratagems, Crusade rules, prayers, psychic powers, Marks of Chaos, and other vile articles of blasphemy.
2 wound Chaos marines are finally coming… finally… Along with other changes! It will be exciting to see what the Chaos Space Marines will be able to do as the newest updated faction! Will they shake up the meta?
Combat Patrol: Chaos Space Marines
You’re not going to set the galaxy to ablaze without a solid spine of Chaos Space Marines, and there’s no better foundation for your next Black Crusade than this Combat Patrol, which contains 19 veterans of the Long War. Led by a Dark Apostle, who’s accompanied by two cowled Dark Disciples, you also get a squad of 10 Heretic Astartes, five Havocs with a range of deadly heavy weapons, and a Helbrute for some punishing heavy support.

These are all staple units! In the past, Helbrutes have been hit or miss, but maybe this update makes them better! Either way it’s a sweet model at the very least.
Chaos Space Marine Datacards and Dice Sets
Keep track of your Stratagems, psychic disciplines, and prayers with this absolutely monstrous set of 121 datacards. There are 31 generic faction Stratagems, seven core Stratagems, eight each for six of the Legions, plus four apiece for the Red Corsairs and Creations of Bile. On top of that, you get nine Dark Hereticus discipline psychic powers, six Malefic powers, Smite, and 11 Prayers to the Dark Gods – which have clearly been answered by this pack. Available separately is this set of 20 crimson Chaos Space Marines dice, with the eight-pointed star of Chaos emblazoned on the six face.
Dice to help pronounce your loyalty and Datacards to help smooth out the learning curve. Both are great options for returning and new generals.
Chaos Space Marines Signed Art Print
This stunning print of the cover art from the new codex is available exclusively from Games-Workshop.com. It’s been signed by the artist, and will be available in selected online bundles.
This art looks stunning, so getting a signed copy is a nice bonus if you want all of the new stuff anyway.
Combat Patrol: Genestealer Cults
Praise the Four-armed Emperor, for The Day of Ascension approaches and the Star Children are near at hand. All things come to the faithful, as the Genestealer Cults get a Combat Patrol box to call their own. This generous set contains 32 miniatures, including a Magus, a Goliath Rockgrinder (which can also be built as a Goliath Truck), five Aberrants, five Acolyte Hybrids (which can also be built as Hybrid Metamorphs), and 20 Neophyte Hybrids. In short, it’s more than enough to throw off the yoke of the old order and take your rightful place.
