The new Crimson Slaughter codex is here, but just how good IS it really? Well first off it’s basically the same book as the old one, just with a set of tactical objectives, and new formations. However the wargear and warlord traits are all the same, BUT you can select wargear from both this book and the Chaos Space Marine book as well.

Once the loyal servants of the Imperium of Mankind, now the Crimson Slaughter leave only destruction and despair in their wake.

supplemental rules for building an unstoppable army of the merciless Crimson Slaughter.
a showcase of Crimson Slaughter miniatures;
a series of narrative missions that enable you to recreate some of the Crimson Slaughter’s bloody battles;
rules for unique relics, Warlord Traits and new stratagems that reflect the Crimson Slaughter’s favoured tactics;
a set of 7 formation datasheets and Crimson Slaughter tactical Objectives.
