The jab at tournament 'lash' lists is pointing out ridiculous armies that would never happen in the fluff. Put it this way, if a GW writer wrote a fluff piece about a Slanneshi Deamon Prince commanding Khorne Beserkers and Plague Marines, they'd be crucified by the fans. At least with other tournament lists, it's quite likely to happen in the fluff, like Grey Hunters supported by Long Fangs and Rune Priests and Draigowing, but with Chaos, that list would be a one in a billion chance of actually happening.<br /><br />@ Eryx_UK: The grumble about Icons is something that's been bugging me about standards in general for a while (including marines, guard, etc). It's not like they require any training to use and they're meant to be sacred objects, the object of the troops devotion, yet they're just abandoned without thought.<br /><br />With chaos in particular, I'm making the point that marks on non-cult units should not be tied into the icon living or dying. They don't become less devoted to their god just because Bob the Icon Bearer dies. It should go back to each person having a mark and the icon being there for deamon summoning<br /><br />I agree with you on the rest thoughKhorneguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489532786167536587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-247989402720374289.post-86363100932271401312012-08-13T12:54:58.041+01:002012-08-13T12:54:58.041+01:001.

I really hate the idea of the dragon flyer. I'd much rather see the Helltalon or Hellblade be made into their flyer. Pklus it would be a nice plastic kit.<br /><br />3. It's supposed to be your chaos lord's mark determines what becomes a troop. That is how it should have been before.<br /><br />4. We'll have to see how this works. I just feel theres too much randomness under 6th right now.Eryx_UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745459114536513706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-247989402720374289.post-48146852561858040952012-08-12T22:53:30.221+01:002012-08-12T22:53:30.221+01:00Despite the sheer number of fluff nazi posts, i am...Despite the sheer number of fluff nazi posts, i am sure this codex will be perfectly playable for both the cheese-mongering-WAAC-tournament players and the Holier-than-thou-my-way-is-the-only-right-way-fluff players.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033875920115128291noreply@blogger.com
