Chaos is incoming! Images from the Oct white dwarf

http://natfka.blogspot.com/2012/09/images-from-oct-white-dwarf-helldrake.html

Has pics of the dragon, warpsmith, forgefiend, Maulerfiend, and warp talons squad. New models.

I'm not sold on them. For C:SM, they look too much like daemons. The fiends and flyer would be at home in a Necron army and the raptors have way, way too much detail on them. You can't really see what they look like under all those layers and layers of details on them. The GW design studio out did themselves in a bad way this time.

Hmm.....not impressed honestly. Looks like Legion of Everblight with more metal

Seems that is the majority vote online from the pics and all. I'll probably like the new fluff, cause I like villains they make the heroes look good. I know Pat would be a happy camper with the warpsmith lol. That stuff may make chaos marines reign supreme though. You never know...

And what's wrong with Legion of Everblight? lmao

Rejoice in the coming oblivion!

oh cant wait for them to join the remaining chaos that i do have

I think those models are amazing. GW was definitely woken up by the quality of models the other game systems were producing. We have a wargaming cold war going on...and we all get to take advantage of the fallout.

Army special rules, marks, icons and more are here from the White Dwarf. Once again apparently there are lots of people with this White Dwarf, and apparently I get left out of the fun. However there are lots of people posting these things online in photo albums, forums, and other sites, so we get to share in the fun for a short bit until we get our copies on Saturday.

These are via Tompi3 from his online photo album. Some of these duplicate, and some are new to me. Enjoy.

Seems like they are going back to how chaos originally was. Makes me want to start a chaos army again as it was their fluff that got me into the game. Guess that'll be my next project

I have been waiting for these guys to come out of the Eye of Terror for a long time.

Bolter check
Chainsword check
Bolt Pistol check
A single Space Marine scared of Chaos, I aint seen none yet!

dont wrry cko i got tons of CSM fixn to be on the board

Yay new chew toys!

I'm looking at all the new stuff, but I think I'll wait. Except for the codex. I've got my pennies saved and as soon as the Horus Heresy Betrayal books goes on sale, I'll be ordering that instead. Now may be a good time to pick up some of the older style Chaos models cheap. I'm happy with where my Chaos force is and don't see it expanding too much more.

I'll be waiting as well. I would like to take a look at the book once you get it from forgeworld though. I'm a fan of the heresy. First Heretic was an awesome book. So naturally I like 'Aurelian' or Lorgar is what others outside the legion now him as. I don't have enough funds to fund a new army yet. In the middle of switching jobs to get more pay so eventually I'll catch up to everyone and hop back into 40k. I'm having too much fun with warmahordes at the moment. The start of next year though I should be getting a sizable army of Chaos marines up.
