Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Space Marine Vindicator

Product Information

At T5 and 3 wounds with a 5+ invulnerable save, Possessed have enough durability to weather a bit of shooting, particularly with help from Cursed Earth and Pact of Flesh , but are more valuable as forward combat units that crash into enemy lines early than as midtable objective brawlers. They’re a fast, durable unit that can put out a ton of damage and they’re almost always a problem opponents have to deal with. Chosen World Eaters are the odd men out here, currently working off a White Dwarf article, but they’ll move over to the “own Codex” group when their Codex releases in the future. This is probably the best of the Chaos Space Marine secondary objectives and even at its best it’s just so-so. Its value is largely tied to your characters, your ability to keep them alive, and their ability to destroy enemy units in melee. Your biggest obstacle for scoring this objective is that you have a very limited number of characters in your army to do this with – 3 HQs, possibly Abaddon, and however many Masters of Execution you’re going to take. One of those is probably a Master of Possession, and you won’t be fighting with him, which leaves at most 2-4 characters to work with. Only melee kills count, and against the armies that offer you lots of said juicy targets, you’ll often have Bring it Down or Assassination to turn to instead. Helbrute • Ferrum Infernus Dreadnought • Chaos Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought • Sonic Dreadnought • Berserker Dreadnought • Leviathan Dreadnought The Vindicator is often used during urban battles, or battles fought in dense terrain such as jungles and forests, so that the weapon's relatively short-range will not affect its performance. The Vindicator is not equipped with any other weapons, but can be equipped with a pintle-mounted Storm Bolter. Due to the size of the Demolisher Cannon and its automatic ammunition loader and storage magazine, there is only room for two crew members, meaning that with a pintle-mounted weapon equipped, either another crew member will be added or one of the existing crew will have to interrupt his previous duty to man the weapon.

This latter ability is pretty solid against larger vehicles where you’re more likely to get close to the 6-wound cap.

You can only include one CHAOS LORD, one DAEMON PRINCE, and one DARK COMMUNE in each Chaos Space Marines detachment in your army. This will not be a problem for you, generally speaking – there are a very limited number of HQ slots for you to work with and you’ll rarely want to double up on these units. Where you’ll want to watch out for this is with the faction’s special characters, many of whom have the CHAOS LORD keyword. This means that you can’t take Abaddon and Haarken in the same detachment, hilariously. Mere Mortals The Warp’s Malice – This relic bolt pistol has 18” range, is Pistol 2, and S5, AP-2 2 damage, plus in Wanton Massacre or Slaughter it becomes Pistol 4. As an added bonus, whenever it rolls an unmodified hit roll of 6, it just does 2 mortal wounds and the sequence ends. Kind of like a ranged version of the Blade of the Relentless. Not bad, given how much you get, but ultimately not good enough to make your list unless you have some way to get hit re-rolls or guarantee hit rolls of 6.

The good news is that you can, and it’s up to you how much effort you expend doing so. This is because it’s not only the gun barrels that are different. There are two different gun shields and two sets of roof bits. You’ll find that the laser destroyer is too wide for the demolisher’s gun shield so you should use the laser destroyer’s shield if you want to swap the barrels. Hecaton Aiakos is an HQ choice. He’s no longer an Elites option, making him a little bit less useful.

Now it’s time to add some highlights to make the details stand out. Take a lighter metallic color like Ironbreaker and carefully apply it to the raised edges and prominent areas of the Vindicator. This will give it a more pronounced and dynamic look. Ritual Offerings (1 CP). Use when an enemy unit is destroyed by a CULTISTS unit. Until the end of the battle those Cultists automatically pass Morale tests and they get +1 to hit in melee. Solid if you’re running lots of big Cultist blobs, which you won’t be doing. C
