A new addition to the 9th edition Codex, Accursed Cultists are basically groups of possessed Cultists and Mutants who trade any kind of ranged firepower for being annoyingly good in melee. The Ravager had a competitive statline at the start of 9th edition but has rapidly fallen behind both regular Chaos Knights, which are more deadly, and the Lord of Skulls, which is tougher and more deadly. Its been a long time coming but Chaos Marines are getting some much needed attention. It looks scarier than it is. When these guys made it to combat, they straight-up murdered units.

The issue here is that if youre taking a Nurgle character that wants to get close to the enemy, there are better options. , the idea is not to give an exhaustive review of every unit and option.

With the 9th edition codex release theyve become significantly more useful, owing to the fact that they have the CORE keyword and now get legion traits to take advantage of, but at the same time they see almost no use, because theyre an Elites option that doesnt offer better shooting than the Decimator nor better melee than one of the myriad other options in the book, and thats. What good is a melee unit if you cant get it into melee? You get these free if your Apostle has a mark. Which trait a unit get depends on which legion theyre from. This is fine, if unexciting.

That said, Berzerkers arent bad, either just eclipsed by other units. If that target had 10-19 wounds, score an extra VP, and 2 extra VP if it had 20+ wounds or was the enemy Warlord. And whenever you make any attack, if your warlord rolls an unmodified wound roll of 6, the target takes an additional mortal wound. So, about those 2 Wound Chaos Space Marines? The +1 rider is great on a lot of units and the 18 range without line of sight means your Legionaries holding a backfield objective can toss this out on a large number of units that benefit from it. The Imperial Armour Compendium updated these to be 115 points and be able to arrive on the battlefield turn 1. Note that Abaddon, despite being an Agent Of Chaos, has an exception to still gain the Black Legion trait when included in a pure Black Legion army. If youre looking for the legions with their own codexes, you can find those here: The Warzone Nephilim GT Missions pack introduced an entirely new set of secondary objectives for the games factions, moving them out of codexes and into the pack and allowing players to take up to three objectives from their faction set, dramatically increasing their importance in competitive play.

Warlord Trait, and his Chainglaive is an excellent target for daemon weapons like Ulocca or Ghollax. Until your next Command phase it gets to act as though its at full health. In addition, Psykers who take a mark get a free power related to the mark and those powers are pretty good. At 250 points a 10-model Chosen unit starts to get on the pricey side, but thats still getting you 30 wounds that you can protect and buff with a variety of effects. This is just a quick introduction video into my background and channel direction as well as a review of the latest CSM teaser. There are six Prayers to the Dark Gods you can choose from in addition to Dark Zealotry, plus four more for the Chaos Gods which your PRIEST unit will know for free if they have the appropriate mark. The bearer can perform a 6 Heroic Intervention, gets +1 Attack, and each time the bearer destroys an enemy unit with a melee attack, they get +1 Attack for the rest of the battle. The closest visible enemy unit takes D3 mortal wounds, then you roll a D6 for every other enemy unit within 6 of that unit takes a mortal wound on a 4+. Use at the start of your opponents Morale phase. This is a pretty nifty way to open up your options and turn your Apostle into a Smite machine, but will likely just lose out to other options. Each one throws out 2D3 shots and every hit generates a mortal wound on a wound roll of 2+, meaning that on average a Decimator will toss out 8 shots, score 6-8 hits depending on bonuses to hit and your Wanton, and turn those into 6ish mortal wounds. In those armies theyre typically taken as units of 5 with a Blastmaster and chainswords on the rest, or potentially a power fist on the champion. Possessed got new models with the 9th edition codex and immediately became superstars in the new book. Chaos Space Marine tend to lack good long-range shooting, but they have a number of solid Heavy Support choices, both in terms of options for quality mid-range shooting and strong melee-focused daemon engines.

Plague Marines come with T5 and. Use in your Movement phase, when a non-Cultists TRAITORIS ASTARTES INFANTRY unit makes a Normal Move or Advances.

Theyre fast, durable, and hit like a freight train, dumping out insane amounts of AP-2 firepower. Otherwise, Psyker has a 4+ invulnerable save and can only be hit on a 4+, but his real value is just being on the table. At the start of the first battle round, pick an enemy unit. This means that your teams will either be six marines or three marines and a mob of Cultists. The Crown has a 4+ invulnerable save aura which expands in range every turn, but again, the thing is only even deployable meaningfully in some tournaments and its not worth the effort to bring.

No adverts like this in the forums anymore. He works well with pretty much all of the units you want in the army, from Terminators to Chosen to Possessed, and hes good enough to elevate some of the armys more borderline units, like Obliterators and Land Raiders (giving a Land Raider T10 with Mutated Invigoration is pretty funny). This costs 2 CP if the unit is TITANIC. This is probably the best of the Chaos Space Marine secondary objectives and even at its best its just so-so. It also gives you access to the Chaos Space Marine version of Transhuman Physiology, which can make your Characters much more durable in a pinch. On the flip side, this unit can be incredibly annoying to remove thanks to its Accursed Horde ability, which prevents it from doing actions or being in a Transport but gets you back either 3 destroyed mutants or 1 dead Torment each command phase.

The Malefic discipline is the clear winner of the two from a power level standpoint, but there are some gems in the Dark Hereticus Discipline youll want to consider.

There isnt really a place for them in most armies but there have been some successful lists that run 1-2 units of them when the strategy calls for a more aggressive approach, or one thats not running Raise the Banners High. Theyre all solid and free once youve paid the points/Power Level to upgrade that psyker with the relevant Mark.

At base, they offer a 3-wound, 3-attacks, LD10, 2+ save model with Armour of Contempt, but add to that an Accursed Weapon that gives them an additional S5 AP-3 attack and youve got a unit that even in its base configuration can do quite a bit of damage and is hard to shift. If that unit has the MONSTER, VEHICLE, TERMINATOR, or BIKER keyword, this costs 3 CP. Inside the codex youll find rules for Black Legion, Word Bearers, Night Lords, Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, Emperors Children, Red Corsairs, and Creations of Bile. Ret's melt a hole right through the Dark Apostle, and knock a few wounds of the Lord of Skulls.

On Plague Marines this makes them even tougher than they are in Death Guard, as S5 guns will only wound them on a 5+, though they lose Inexorable Advance for their trouble and cant currently gain the ICON keyword. Otherwise, this is generally the mark of choice for Terminators and Chosen since getting to S6 with the Mark of Khorne isnt as useful as getting to fight first.
