2 New 40k Chaos Space Marines Battleforces, Jump Pack Character, & Lord Revealed!

Attendees will be treated to an early screening of the Warhammer Preview Show: AdeptiCon 2024 at 8pm local time on Wednesday the 20th of March – that’s 1am in the UK the next day* – and everybody at home can get their first glimpse of the new reveals when the show goes live on Twitch at 3am GMT/10pm CDT. Check out the image below to find out when the awesome preview show will be live in your time zone.

Well, as we said, if you live on the other side of the pond, you’ll have to stay up quite late to catch the preview, but we’ll have all the reveals for you as well! The West Coast of the USA probably has the best timing for this preview!

Chaos Lord On Foot

The new Chaos Lord is an impressive sight, adorned with various trophies and decorations that are fitting for a barbaric war leader, including a leering stomach plate and a backpack adorned with skulls.

The kit offers a variety of weapon options, such as a chainaxe, an accursed maul, or a daemon hammer in the right hand and a plasma pistol or power fist in the left. Additionally, there is a choice of a horned helmet or a bare head, both of which are intimidating.

Chaos Lord With Jump Pack

While some Lords choose to fight on foot, others prefer to take to the skies and engage in battle as quickly as possible. A jump pack is a perfect tool for launching into action and earning favor with the gods, so why not strap one on and unleash destruction from above?

The Chaos Lord with Jump Pack is depicted in a dynamic pose, either just landing on or jumping off from his unfortunate target. He can be equipped with a power axe or fist, along with a plasma or bolt pistol, providing a balanced loadout for battling all types of enemies.

Fans of the Night Lords will be pleased to see the return of the classic pair of lightning claws for shredding foes in close combat.

New Chaos Battleforces

Then, there will be two new Battleforces, one each with one new character. The first will focus on the more combat assault side of things, with the jump-pack character. Whether you love Haarken or not, it’s nice to have a new jump-pack character for a cheaper and more flexible option.

Dread Talons Battleforce

The Dread Talons battleforce is focused on one goal: smashing through enemy lines with a massive horde of jump-pack troops. The new Chaos Lord with Jump Pack leads a wing of 10 Raptors, along with a terrifying Daemon Prince, while 10 Cultists, a unit of Accursed Cultists, and a Dark Commune hold down the fort for their profane masters.

Veterans of the Long War Battleforce

The Veterans of the Long War battleforce serves as the perfect foundation for a Chaos Space Marines army. The new Chaos Lord on foot leads a hand-picked bodyguard of five Chosen. The box also includes 10 Legionaries, 10 Chaos Terminators, and five Possessed.

It makes sense for the new Lord to be in this box, as he’ll have tons of models to boss around!

Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol

There wasn’t much information released about the new Chaos Combat Patrol, but it appears to include a squad of Possessed, Cultists, Legionaries, and a Master of Possession.

Chaos Space Marines 10th Edition Codex

There is also a brand new Codex: Chaos Space Marines, which is packed with new rules, detachments, and more.

It is one of the largest codexes released to date, featuring eight detachments that highlight the fighting styles of classic Traitor Legions, as well as other renegade forces like piratical raiders and devotees of Vashtorr the Arkifane.

While there aren’t a ton of new minis, their codex sounds interesting, with eight detachments and even ways to finally play with full traitor guard/cultists lists!

With two new Battleforces, a jump pack character, a Chaos Lord, and a codex with eight detachments, there will be plenty of options to choose from to help you spread Chaos throughout the galaxy!
