Chaos Cultists are in!

That�s right all you Chaos players� I refused point blank to believe that GW would ever release Chaos Cultist, but they have. The Dark Vengeance boxed set (did I not mention the name previously?) will have 2 units of 10 Chaos Cultist models, one armed with auto-guns (with a shotgun & CC weapon for the leader and a Heavy Stubber support trooper) and one with auto-pistol & CC weapon (with 2 CC weapons for the leader and a Flamer support model).

The Chaos Cultist look like everything you�ve ever wanted for Chaos. They�re bound in rags, with metal half-masks and weapons that suit the cobbled-together, improvised look that you expect from the dregs of Chaos.

But that�s not all for those naughty Chaos worshippers; they�re getting a unit of 6 Chosen�elite Chaos Space Marines, armed with a variety of Power Weapons (a Maul on the Sergeant, a Power Fist, a Chain Axe and a set of Lightning Claws by the look of things). The remaining Chosen are armed with Boltguns, but this bodes well for the potential that these exemplars of Chaos might get some more customisable options in the upcoming new Chaos Marines codex.

To lead your forces, you have the obligatory Chaos Lord, armed with a Power Sword & Plasma Pistol. His pose is a bit static, but that is only in comparison to the much more animated Chosen.

Lastly� what would Chaos be without something big and menacing to bring to the table? Well� how about a brand new model� the Hellbrute!

The massive Hellbrute model comes equipped with a Multi-Melta & Power Fist. Suggesting that this isn�t a Dreadnought replacement, but is in fact a huge suit of specialist armour crewed by a Chaos Marine (or more likely a Champion). Actually, the model resembles a huge suit of Terminator Armour with lots of cool Chaos gribbly bits� I�m hoping for a Monstrous Creature that acts like the Dreadknight� what about all you Chaos fans? What would you like it to be?

So, opinions brothers! I am tempted to get just for the cultists... palid white skin and pure black eyes, nostramons for heresy era armies or pre heresy? (Ive also just taken this from B&C who took this from someone else)

My cultists will be rancid cowering dogs who were too afraid to fight with their fellow guardsmen and sat in a corner crying while the Night Lords butchered them. The cowards who live are wrangled up and used as meat shields. They fight or they suffer a fate worse than death... and they know it.

Have to look like they come from a NL ship! Looking forward to seeing the rest. Going to buy that box for sure though. Salvaged, defiled dark angels armour for my guys coming up!

Nothing like taking some poor pathetic men and making them fight your enemies for you, and soak up all their bullets haha. I'm surprised they even did cultists as well, maybe they are getting a little bit closer as to what chaos is supposed to be these days? A power that takes and corrupts men rather than a bunch of 'evil' marines with slightly more trim on their armour haha.

Are the mortals what you were expecting?

Chosen Group: Admin Posts: 517 Member No.: 178 Joined: 9-October 07	Not really. But I suppose they'll do with some heavy converting. I am, however, very pleased with those chosen. They will defiantly become champions for my squads And that Hellbrute...

Noctus Cornix	Posted: Aug 18 2012, 03:33 AM
Chosen Group: Admin Posts: 517 Member No.: 178 Joined: 9-October 07	Bit of both. Don't really care though because I like him. Only thing Im gonna change is his plasma pistol hand with an open hand, kinda like that Dark Angel Librarian

Hell brute looks like a possessed dreadnought to me. The cultists I quite like, they will work well as slaves.
