Warhammer 40K: Codex Emperor’s Childrens’ – Biggest Missing Units
Goatboy here to talk Codex Emperor’s Children. There’s a bunch of oddly missing units and options from 40K 10th Edition’s newest army. What gives?
While I think it will be some time to figure out Codex Emperor’s Children there are some weird things missing from the book. It is still a Chaos Space Marine Legion so why don’t they have all the things the other ones have? These are the things I think oddly missing, I think would be best for the army to get access to.
5. Predator Chassis
This feels like the easiest thing to add to the book as you can just copy the ones from Chaos Space Marines. It would give the army the long range damage it needs, a box to hold an objective, and something else for people to pain freehand on. I just don’t understand why the venerable old-school isn’t in the book when all the other Cult Legions will most likely keep theirs.
4. Helbrute
This is another weird one too. I think it fits into an interesting slot when you compare it to the others as it either embodies the army like the World Eaters, gives you some abilities like Thousand Sons, or is just a good little bully to live in your backfield. I think having something that helps amplify the Sonic weapons would be a cool little thing to have in the army. Maybe a Emperor’sChildren Helbrute could power up things around it but either way it would be a nice option to have.
3. Heavy Weapons in the Battleline Options
Where are the powerfists in these troops units? Or why not some kinda of cool spear thing like their leader carries. I know the power whip they have is neat but they should have a heavy weapon option. It just feels odd that all other armies have a heavy weapon and our poor models who like to put crystals in their eyes won’t carry something brutal and heavy.
2. Terminator Units Larger Than 5 Dudes
Why is this the case for this army? I bet all the others let you take 10-man Termy squads, so why is the Emperor’s Children one locked at 5? Is there a weird balance coming to other armies? Are the 10 World Eaters Terminators something I can’t take anymore? It just feels very weird to have the Termy units locked at 5.
1. Forgefiend
The army has the Maulerfiend and the Heldrake but no Forgefiend? It would be a perfect fit to add to the army and we don’t need it to be like the exploding CSM one. Make it do some other interesting stuff like targeting the unit and letting other EC units do better against it? Like it marks it for pain? I just don’t understand how one kit can in the army but the other version of the kit isn’t usable?
These are pretty simple no brainer ones I think the Emperor’sChildren army could need. It isn’t about creating a new model and just reskinning something in purple, pink, and gold.
Why have all these cool evil kits and not let every Cult Legion use them?
