This week is all Chaos and Daemons releases featuring some new models, an updated 40k codex, and more for next week’s pre-orders on August 27th.
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.
Chaos Space Marines Accursed Cultists
There’s a new breed of cultists who are really feeling the power of Chaos – but not necessarily in a way that’s advantageous to their health and continued longevity. The Accursed Cultists are a nightmarish amalgam of mortal and daemon who act as a Troops choice for Chaos Space Marines.
These writhing creatures are some of the most grotesque models we’ve seen from GW in a while and now they are available for the tabletop.
Chaos Space Marines Possessed
Of course, everything mortals can do, Heretic Astartes can do better – including inviting daemons into their bodies as corporeal cohabitors. The Possessed boast incredible speed and durability – their malleable forms grant them a 9″ Movement characteristic, Toughness 5, and 3 Wounds, making for some truly shocking shock troops. There are multiple build options in the set, and one can be constructed as a Possessed Champion.
In a slightly more tame approach, we’ve got updated Possessed, which look fantastic!
Combat Patrol: Chaos Daemons
The daemonic onslaught intensifies, with a Combat Patrol set focused on Khorne. Get the blood flowing with this hefty collection of 34 miniatures, which can be built to reach a Power Level of up to 33 and get you gaming straight away. This Combat Patrol-sized force is led by a fearsome Bloodmaster, ably supported by three Bloodcrushers mounted on Juggernauts, 10 slavering Flesh Hounds, and 20 Bloodletters – making a spectacular basis for a Khornate horde.
Now moving to more exclusively Daemon models, this new combat patrol is a great start for any fans of Khorne’s Daemonic forces.
Codex: Chaos Daemons
Embrace your inner daemons with this comprehensive set of fiendish rules and infernal lore for using entire armies of otherworldly entities in games of Warhammer 40,000. Each of the four Ruinous Powers has their own collection of datasheets, plus Relics, Stratagems, Warlord Traits, and psychic powers (except for Khorne, of course), as well as Exalted Daemon upgrades and new Warp Storm powers. On top of that, there’s an Army of Renown for the Disciples of Be’lakor, who also get their own Stratagems and psychic discipline.
As with their 40k update is, of course, the new Codex, featuring new and updated rules for any fans of daemonic-based forces. You can also pick it up in a limited Collectors edition version.
Chaos Daemons Dice
Infuse your rolls with the power of the warp with these Chaos Daemons dice. There are 20 six-sided dice in a fetching black-and-white swirl pattern, with the eight-pointed star of Chaos on the 6 face. The Chaos Daemons Datacards set has been very slightly delayed, meanwhile – but rest assured that it’s arriving soon.
