So, everyone got his codex or are intrigued by it!!? Well, I didn't like to pay 60$ just to get color and hard cover on my new book. Well, the space marine codex had 40 more pages then the current Chaos codex for 45$. What is it? Ink cost that much or what? Anyway, Price rage past and put aside, it is an interesting Codex.
To start with, I was realy disappointed on what the mark do now. Basically, the pro is that all your models pay an extra amount of point to get the power from the Specific God, so it mean that not all your models will lose the benefict from an Icon Death. They can still buy an Universal Icon or from their respective Daemon God wich add an extra effect to the squad like Fear, Feel no Pain, reroll charge distance and furious charge, Fearless or giving all Bolt weapon the SoulBlaze ability.
MARK Of Khorne give Rage and counter charge, Giving Chaos Marine a Space wolf Feeling. Slaanesh give the usual +1 Initiative he always gave. Nurgle give the usual +1 to toughness, witch in 6th edition is better because any permanent toughness upgrade like bike and mark of nurgle are now counting toward instant death blow. And the Tzeentch Mark got lowered to 6++ invulnerable if the model had none, or the usual +1 to a model already existing invulnerable.
As you can see, now that my Invulnerable got lowered by the new rule, it kinda suck. I was expecting to keep a 5+ witch would mean moving with a standard kind of improved cover save all the time. But no. So my Blue corsair will be a Project put aside as I will repaint my chaos Lord with Green tone instead of Blue, BUT my Daemon Prince will Remain the way he his, A friend will sell me his converted Nurgle Winged Daemon Prince. Beside, Tzeentch Daemon Prince are not bad as their main ability is to reroll all failed save of one!!!
I intent on Painting a Nurgle Army, maybe the Death Guard, and maybe some Emperor Children as Mercenaries to add to my main force. Khorne berzerkers on first sight, seem to have lost so much. Thousand sons could be interesting, but I haven't think about them Yet.
Anyway, thank you for your time, and may war bring you happiness!!!
