We got a couple of emails asking that I skip ahead to the Chaos rules, so I’ll put off posting Hero Dreadnoughts until later (perhaps I’ll combine them with the “named” Daemon rules…). Without further delay, here are the Chaos Space Marine rules.
CHAOS SPACE MARINES
Lord, Sorcerer Lord or Daemon Prince
Choice of ONE from this list +15 points:
- +1 WS
+1 I
AND choice of ONE from this list:
- Blessed by Khorne: On a player turn in which he charges, the Khornate Chaos Lord and all members of any squad of Khorne Berzerkers he has joined are filled with rage and may re-roll failed rolls to wound; 25 points.
- Blessed by Nurgle: The Chaos Lord of Nurgle is swarmed with a blessed plague of insects. The Nurgle Lord and all members of Plague Marine squad he has joined always counts as being in cover when charged and gains a 5+ cover save against shooting; 25 points.
- Blessed by Slaanesh: The Chaos Lord of Slaanesh has mastered the perfect strike. A model that does not pass a saving throw when wounded by the Chaos Lord suffers two wounds instead of one; 10 points.
- Blessed by Tzeentch: The Chaos Lord of Tzeentch can use this psychic power at the start of the movement phase instead of moving normally. The Lord and a single squad of Chaos Space Marines (or Terminators) with the Rubic Sign within 6″ of him are removed from the tabletop and then immediately placed anywhereon the tabletop per the Deep Strike rules. This power may be used even if enemy models are in base contact with any of the models affected (the enemy models are left behind); 25 points.
- Daemon Master: The Chaos Lord automatically pass tests to control daemon weapons when an enemy is wounded; 10 points.
- Fifth Column: Aided by a pervasive cult of supporters, the Chaos Lord can slow the advance of his enemies using subterfuge and sabotage. Once per turn the Chaos Lord can force his opponent to re-roll one Reserves roll (successful or not); 20 points.
- Gifted by the Gods: The Chaos Lord may spend an extra 50 points on Daemonic Gifts, but may only spend 100 points on wargear from the Armory; 10 points.
- Scholar of War: May re-roll the die roll to determine who goes first; 20 points.
- Vanquisher of Rivals: The Chaos Lord with a Mark of Undivided Chaos has conquered many of his rivals and taken trophies from them. The Chaos Lord may be equipped with ONE item chosen from the armory of ANY Chaos power, for the cost of the item plus 10 points.
As always, we’d love comments (including anything we missed).
Next Time: Orks!
