I think its good they just  stripped it clean of Icons of any kind which is a little lame.

Steve, there are more pages past 63.

Well Chase, this book is going to get me back into 40k for 6th edition. ;)

The costs of champions went down considerably, which if you always fielded them in a squad, makes the new squads seem cheaper. The almost universal access to marks makes fielding a mono god list less punishing and more acceptable.  Using the icon system for buffs instead of just marks removes the annoyance most people had in the 4th edition codex.

Except for a couple odd FAQ issues, like the zombies and their options, I think the book will prove to be a nice change to the 4th edition chaos codex.

I think this book is totally amazing and spectacular.  10/10.  Lots of exciting things to try.   I think we might have another Dark Eldar on our hands, in terms of nearly every unit being interesting and viable, but nothing being OP.   Too early to really know of course.

I'm surprised by those opinions.  Initial things I heard were... Less than desirable.

The Codex sold very well this weekend.  The models... Not so much.  I suppose that's to be expected when no one knows ANY of the rules before the day the stuff goes on sale, which really sucks.

The more misconceptions about something the louder people are.  It's only natural to hear the louder people first.  ;)

The more I read into it the cooler some stuff seems. I can't see myself playing anything non-fluff though take Kharn go Khorne take Typhus go Nurgle. Maybe pushing into the new year I might start chaos up But who knows.

The hell drake just seems pricey for the amount of materials they used to make it.

price is part how its made and part in game use.

37.5 for ten space marines and 33 for 5 grey knights. yeah part of in game cost is a factor.

Anyone know if they have a Street Date for Chaos Cultist models outside of Dark Vengeance?

im happy with the DV cultists as they represent the only ways you can equip them unless you make them into plauge Zombies due to Typhus and then your going to be getting Fantasy zombies and kit bashing them.
