It remains to be seen whether this new look will be accompanied by a rules revamp or buffing at all. There’s also stuff for the aspiring champion like plasma pistols, power axes/ fists (It’s not exactly a shot in the dark to guess that a power sword will be there as well), as well as an icon for the icon bearer. There’s also the usual special weapons trinity of melta, plasma and flamer, as well as heavy weapons in the form of a heavy bolter or missile launcher. Shall I lay down Frostmourne and throw myself at your mercy, Fordring Flag. So.the Lights vaunted justice has finally arrived. From the pictures shown so far, it looks like there are options to kit each squad out for ranged or close quarters fighting, with either bolters or bolt pistols and chainswords. What you feel is the warp overtaking you. The new marines, it seems, are a mix of the look from the current plastic kit and the Chosen from Dark Vengeance.
Even when compared to ordinary human-sized figures the miniatures had started to look a bit titchy, as the move away from 28mm heroic scale to 32mm has seen figures like Tempestus Scions and Genestealer cultists beefing up somewhat.
#I FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME UPDATE#
It was probably inevitable that Chaos Marines would get an update for their core infantry ever since the Primaris hit the tabletop in this current age of biggering of scale (cough … not to mention prices … cough cough), the heretic space marines had begun to look rather out of place compared to their loyalist counterparts.
#I FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME DRIVER#
We got the Chosen from the starter box, then a new Raptor set, then a few individuals… but no new marines. the overtaking driver may feel nervous because no speed has been added yet - but when you break it down and think of the process in three steps, it starts to make more sense - in the first step.
I’ve been in the hobby long enough to remember when Dark Vengeance – the previous starter set – came out, and the hype surrounding the prospect of updated Chaos Marines. I just got my degree, and I’m slowly realising that I might just want to go in to an entirely different field of work. If memory (and flicking through a couple of old White Dwarf back issues) serves me right, the current incarnation of traitor astartes first came out in around 2002 or so, back when 40k was in its third edition. I feel like all my friends are overtaking me, advancing and fulfilling their potentials, while I’m still running around like a headless chicken, second guessing all of my skills and choices. It is a good pain +++ Last words of Lord Gangrel, seconds before turning into a Bloodthirster +++ Vincent V Slug Club Member. Nevertheless, it’s still quite something to hear after a period of nearly two decades of using the same miniatures line. The Emperor is kept immortal by sacrificing THOUSANDS of psykers everyday beneath his golden throne.What with Blackstone Fortress, Haarken Worldclaimer and most recently Shadowspear, the news that the humble Chaos Space Marine is getting an update is hardly unexpected news. Oh, and Warp travel is only possible because the immortal God Emperor of mankind psychically serves as a guiding voice and beacon for all astropaths traveling the warp. And to travel the Warp you need powerful astropaths who have enough psychic power to guide a ship through hell whilst not losing them self to the Chaos Gods lurking within or to the concept of Chaos itself which are mushy human brains just cannot comprehend. Traveling through The Warp is fucking dangerous as hell since you are essentially travelling through hell to then pop out at your destination. Chaos Gods are given form and birth from these emotions. The Warp is basically an alternate dimension of psychic energy, it is constantly shifting due to the emotions and thoughts of other living beings especially those with psychic powers. You may want to play more space marine and possibly planetside 2, since Eternal Crusade is mainly going to be a mash up of those two games (plus other games. First, that caption is being a bit cheeky, it exaggerates a bit for humorous effect but not by much. Disclosure, my knowledge of 40k is not as in-depth as many others here.
