A sort of 'Chaos Hellwright' who can also be mounted on a 'Dark Abeyant'. Are these rules for using the superb Archmagos Draykavak Heresy model in 40K? Not that I'll be jumping into this army right now, but quite intriguing it certainly is. Cheers.

I have Chaos, and my Orks should see the light again under 8th, so Marines are still fodder for my chainswords and choppas. Whatever they do with loyalists doesn't matter to me one bit. Just like they could totally rework Tyranid fluff and I'd shrug. An army I don't play won't sap my motivation for the ones I do.<br /><br />Dark Mechanicus has always been a far flung idea of mine as well.

I'm reserving my judgement on them until I see them first hand, and when someone told me that the high-altitude, low opening (ring a bell?) ones are actually orbital drop troopers and not our usual jump-pack assault Marines, they suddenly made much more sense to me. <br /><br />What puzzles me is that while we were all worrying about the new edition and changes to the rules, the background story suffered a major shift and we now find ourselves fast forward in M42 with little explanation about how we got here and more than a simple headache.

The presence of the Keyword Legion leaves me thinking that we will return again to end, once and for all, the long war. .. Maybe GW will give us the rules for Renegades chapters (ok, give and GW in the same sentence is not believable). Who knows! You just have to wait for future Codices, so far this edition seems more than interesting and "friendly" for old people like me ... And Yes, Primaris are horrendous!Lord Adiatun Varrunnoreply@blogger.com
