40K Rumors: CSM Dark Apostles and More

Remember kids, Zealots aren’t JUST for the Imperium – the “Original Chaplains” stayed true to Lorgar. Lets take a gander at the latest word on the upcoming Chaos Space Marine codex:

Dark Apostles
-They universally confer fearless(because they are fearless) and furious charge.
-They can add other universal rules to certain specific units.
-Dark Apostles are effectively watered down cult troops, but if added to a cult unit they “bolster” the cult unit’s innate effects.
i.e. Dark Apostle in a Plague Marine unit get FnP 4+ instead of 5+, or confers a 5+ to a unit of marines or cultists.

-Daemons can be summoned to Icons if a Dark Apostle is present.
