The Chaos Marines’ Warp Talons & Raptors are back with an updated set of rules for 9th edition. Take a look.
This image from a miniature assembly guide has been doing the rounds. It appears to be from a new repacked CSM Raptor/Warp-Talon box. It is all over Reddit, and various forums.

Notes
We all knew the W2 was coming, so no big surpise there. Chaos has been waiting patiently for their time in the 9th Edition sun, so it’s the other stats and weapons that will need to get the big updates to keep up with the meta.
The big news of course is big update to the Attacks! +2A for Raptors is nice, but the A:5 for Warp Talons is very spicy! Now these quick assembly sheets never have the codex-quality complete rules. So we dont know if that A:5 would in all inclusive for the pair of Lightning Claws, or if might go up even more for the pair. We’ll have to wait and see.
But it looks like CSMs will indeed be increasing their lethality to keep up the 9th Edition Jonses.
Death to the False Emperor!
