You heard it here first followers of the dark gods, Chaos HAS finally returned. Come see the latest we’ve dug up on new supplement and something curious about their Psychic powers as well.
After the FAQ post dropped for Deathwatch I was in my beats lab all day working on some Ogors, so I missed this email that came in about the new supplement.
Games workshop sent out the following details to all their retailers about the upcoming Traitor’s Bane supplement Wednesday (and some earlier as well).
But before we get to all that, checkout the psychic power picture from the White Dwarf Preview below, and it’s counter-part in Fulmination:
Coruscating Blaze – Heretic Space Marines
Lightning Arc – Loyalist Space Marines
Wow look at that, it’s even the same psychic chart #3 position!
So we know the new Psychic Disciplines for the Heretics are:
- Ectomancy
- Geomortis
- Sinisturm
- Heretech
Could they indeed be the carbon copies of the four new disciplines from the Angels of Death supplement?
- Ectomancy = Fulmination?
- Geomortis = Geokenisis?
- Sinisturm = Librarius?
- Heretech = Technomancy?
According to industries insiders and as quoted from BoLS:
Traitors Hate:
