I don't see how with two codices released we can already call this mid tier.

I disagree. I think it's going to be pretty strong once the points decreases are factored in. I'm looking forward to it greatly and will be murdering lots of things with the MURDERSWORD

Even GW has been basically not promoting or previewing it much. They had like one article about it and 7+ for Chaos.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
From what I've seen of the powers the biggest complaint you can have is lots of things are just SM equivalent, which is boring but should be balanced. I'll take CSMs being balanced with SMs personally. And the renegades sound pretty cool?

don't think the actual stats and costs have been leaked though, and I'm not even smart enough to crunch all the numbers anyways

I just want to comment your painting has improved so much over this year. Good job on taking the step to dirtying up your models that I can't seem to bring myself to do. Part of it is im scared to do it, and now that everything is clean it would be a staggering amount of work for me...

Also, good job on that transfer sheet for the text on the scroll, nothing makes me rage harder than spending weeks on a model, get to the transfer and just utterly gently caress up applying some of them. I ruined two of the ones that just say "Ultramarines" that are meant for the scroll work on banners, because they folded up on themselves and about chucked a lamp across the room.

Wow, thanks so much dudes. The shoulder bits are indeed from the LRC sponsons.

Thanks Uroboros , I know the feeling regarding screwing up transfers, especially when it's a rare one like from the command tank sheet.

The heat staining on the gatling is just overlapping washes of drakenhof nightshade, druchi violet and seraphim sepia.

Afaik Zerks are Elites now and moving stuff around in force orgs doesn't seem to be a thing in 8th. On the other hand, you don't need to take Troops.

The index let World Eaters/Death Guard/Thousand Sons/Emperors Children take their respective cult troops as Troops.

I will say in the Chaos Index under the Death Guard entry it clearly says that Plague Marines count as troops if you have the Death Guard keyword. You can certainly argue that this was just a holdover for the Index until the full codices are released, but the precedent is there.

Yeah, that's why I was wondering. It's true that you can just run the Elites detachment but it's gonna result in less CP to spend which is a bummer.

It hasn't been shown yet, so I suspect that the worst-case scenario is that you can't right now but we'll get errata to fix that.

Since y'all liked my dread so much I put together some group shots of my WB army. Quite a bit of this will be used in my 40k games though I am in dire need of some cultists.

Sir not appearing in these photos is my fully painted Spartan ,which I m currently doing some repair work after some one dropped a model on the sponson , breaking it clean in half.
