It simply lets you roll on the Eye of the Gods table from the outset, which isnвЂ™t bad at all. There is also a unique вЂњRuseвЂќ, which are player specific buffs that are only in Open Play. I actually dig this a lot and the reroll each round especially sounds like it adds the right amount of anarchy to the match. The effects are all fitting for the god, such as Tzeentch giving Crystal Wyldshards where all Wizards can Reroll casting rolls but take D3 mortal wounds if they do or KhorneвЂ™s Furious Bloodstorm giving +1 to wound while forcing a -1 to casts. There are 6 in total and they represent each of the gods pushing their influence onto the battlefield (With one being вЂњNothing HappensвЂќ and one having players reroll the effect each round). The rules hereвЂ¦are actually pretty cool? ThereвЂ™s a вЂњtwistsвЂќ table that a player can roll at the start of the game to add some sort of special rule to the match, similar to Realm Rules from second edition. Open play has always been sort of an Enigma, but Games Workshop wants to keep it around.

They knocked it out of the park with this one. Which you chose is likely going to depend on the player but this is a powerful choice for anyone looking to rock a lot of Varanguard and really makes the faction feel special. ItвЂ™s either Unified or Magnificent, both extremely good choices. The other battalion, Overlords of Chaos are 3-6 Varanguard, which will be loved in Knights of the Empty Throne lists. Slayer is a big old whatever but an easier to fill Battle Regiment is extremely welcome and will slot in well if you run out of Subcommanders to fill a traditional Battle Regiment. Two new Core Battalions and theyвЂ™re bothвЂ¦great, actually! The first is the Chaos Warband which requires a leader, 4-8 Troops (that arenвЂ™t Varanguard) and an optional Behemoth. Being able to take it in any of the subfactions will open up a breadth of new options. Iron Golems marked with Nurgle become one of the hardest units in your army to dislodge, while Spire Tyrants marked with Khorne can put out some decent damage on the charge. The Iron Golems and Spire Tyrants have gotten some decent play in some Idolator lists even before this change. Games Workshop has seemed to decide вЂњto hell with itвЂќ and just made it a basic option for everyone. Broken Realms attempted to remedy this with a new subfaction but didnвЂ™t quite get there. The Cultists were always held back by not getting a Mark of Chaos because the army functionally needs those to really work as intended (Heroes and Priests buffing like-marked units). Way bigger than it should be to be a White Dwarf article and probably should have just ErrataвЂ™d the вЂњMark of ChaosвЂќ keyword onto these units in an FAQ. Even better, Cultists who take a Mark of Chaos gain Battleline status if they match the GeneralвЂ™s mark. The two new traits Cultists of the Dark Gods and Cultist Battlelines tie into each other very tightly so letвЂ™s go over them together.Д¬ultists of the Dark Gods letвЂ™s you add a Mark of Chaos to units who previously did not get them, namely the Ogroid Myrmidon, Darkoath Warqueen, Darkoath ChieftainВ and most importantly the Warcry Cultist units. These are open to all game modes, as they add to the Battle Traits available to all factions. Does it accomplish that goal? Allegiance Abilities Some of their best units are seeing better use in other armies, and while the Slaves to Darkness are still holding their own they could use some new rules to make things more exciting. Slaves to Darkness are facing an interesting Paradigm shift as coalition rules with mono-god armies have changed the way many of their units are used.

SeptemberвЂ™s issue contained updates to the Slaves to Darkess, the Chaos army for those who donвЂ™t want to settle for just one god (or just really really like buff barbarians).

Continuing the trend set in Issue 467 with the Sons of Behemat, we got another Tome Celestial that offers expanded rulesets for Open, Narrative and Matched Play for an army while they wait for an update in the form of a new Battletome.
