Warriors of Chaos Info

I will be doing a more in depth review of the new WOC book when I am able to look at it, but in the meantime here's some consolidated info.

50 Great weapon, Khorne Marauders with full command are 580 points, they do however retain their statline (An increase of 180 points!)

Mark of Khorne; frenzy (Same)
Mark of Tzeentch; +1 ward save (same)
Mark of Slaanesh; Auto pass fear, terror and panic(same)
Mark of Nugrle; Flat -1 to hit in close combat(Yaay I can actually shoot at them with my repeaters!)

Marks on a per model basis (Your paying for these bonuses in spades)

Mutant regen is gone (except throgg), and troll vomit is no longer magical, same cost (So, Normal regen? Can't vomit on ethereal targets.. interesting)

Chaos ogres gain impact hits (Wait, people played chaos ogres?!?)

Dragon ogres gain halberd option (Pointy sticks!)

Forsaken are basically the same, same point cost, with a chart of rollable USR, ranging from asf, poison, etc
MofK on Forsaken is hatred, MofS is Swiftstride ( Random buff, 50 dollars for 10.. Kinda meh.. Yah, Don't think we'll see a lot of these in the so called "internet lists" unless they are cheap as fuck)

Eye of the gods are all stat increases, except for 12 which turns characters, and chosen champ into Daemon Prince, units gain stubborn, Bound Spell! (Not bad, no more shenanigans in the shooting phase)

Valkia always gets +1 S when she rolls on eye of the gods

Sigvald always rolls +1 A on eotgs, and gained T5

Chaos warriors same statline (Probably paying out the ass for them now with marks on an individual basis)

Warhounds true core (So, Does that make my harpies and everything else true core as well? Also, what does it mean to be a True Core unit)

Chariots as normal true core (Given)

Hellcannon gains 5+ ward, everything else is the same (Jesus tapdancing christ... Although, I doubt we'll see a ton of hell cannons now with everything getting ridiculous)

Chaos lord stays the same, mounts change a little manticore for example, and marks are somewhat cheaper, mundane gear drops in price (Figures considering your paying out the ass for the rest of the army)

Chaos sorcerers, lores as rumoured, same statline

Daemon Princes!!!
Chaos lord statline, ws9, S6, 5+ ward, Magical attacks, Unbreakable , must take a mark Khorne is +1s on charge, Nurgle is -1 to hit, Slaanesh is armour piercing?, and Tzeentch is re-roll 1's on ward and channel attempts ( Holy fucking god.. you mean people will actually start taking these now?!?)



New stuff:

Chimera, SofM stats with a 4+ armour, for X points gains regeneration, for Y points gains s4 flaming breath weapon, tail attack has rules d3 attacks that are +1 to hit in rear (Probably paying a frackton tho for a fully kitted out Chimera.. Nice tho that they gave him a 4+ armor save tho.)

Slaughterbrute is basically just a attack machine, bound uses are lord or hero ws, and opperates as normal (S7 or 6 can't rememeber exactly can check later, t6, 4+ armour) or can be unbound in which case its frenzied (which it can't lose), and Random movement 2d6, can buy 2 more s5 attacks (Jesus christ.. maybe he is worth GW's 85 dollar price tag)

Tentical beast, less killy bound spell's effect is roll a d6, 1-5 are d6 T test + effect, 6 is whole unit + effect.(Get Hentaied!)

On Magic really great spells basically all made to turn the army into a killing machine, some of my favorites are 2 slaanesh spells 2 and 6 are hexes that give the unit ASL, and random movement d6,
Treason is no inspiring presences or hold your ground
 Phantasmagoria and Pavane, are both there.
Nurgle has a lot of spells that are hexes and augments depending on who you use them on. Curse of the leper gives +d3 T to allies or -d3 to enemies.
 Gateway on a 10+ for S is 3d6 hits, instead of 2d6 (THANK GOD!!! NO more here let me 6 dice this on your unit and insta win cause I can roll dice)

Skullcrushers get regular MC stats, Juggers have 3 attacks at s6 on the charge, Riders buy lances for 3 or EW for 5. Juggers have magical attacks and are only +2 to armour. (hurray for a slight nerf?)


Infernal Puppet is gone! (and the peasants rejoiced)




So, There you have it. When I get a copy of the book itself I will try and do an analysis on it, picking out the best units that I will fear.
