Don’t miss the latest from the weekend about the new Chaos Traitor Legions codex that will be hitting stores this weekend!
I have to say I am impressed. The new legion rules look pretty well balanced and work well with the current Chaos Space Marine codex.
Did you also notice that there was very rare instances of things becoming another force organization type? Sure there was the stuff we expected but really this is a collection of formations and detachments for the most part, that can confer troop status to some other types of units that normally would not have it.
It seems like to me they are setting this book up to have life after the edition change, as we could see 8th Edition 40k going to more of a formation type game similar to Age of Sigmar that could only require “Troops” for force organization if you were playing a particular faction (I.E. Iron Warriors).
Now the rules themselves for the legions all seem very fluffy and when compared to the current competitive meta really don’t seem “OP” at all. Plus don’t forget you can mix Daemons in where applicable either as allies or formations to said army.
Plus they did re-use some of the previous formations and wargear we have already seen as well from Traitor’s Hate, etc.
Seeing these I would expect the Obliterator models to immediately sell out from GW’s site along with Raptors, and perhaps cultists models as well.
