After he obtained the knowledge he had needed from the mind of Daenae, Marduk and his Heretic Astartes fought their way through both the Drukhari and Imperial forces. Marduk and his Host barely made it out of the system as the hive fleet arrived to engulf the doomed world. Marduk then made for the Word Bearers' homeworld of Sicarus within the Eye of Terror to present himself before the Dark Council. At the end of the game you score 2 VP if your tally is 1, 5 if it’s 2, 9 if it’s 3, and 14 if it’s 4. There are four different units Chaos Space Marine armies can pull from the specialized legions, three of which are in other books/supplements. These are: A Master of Possession from a Daemonkin Ritualist Specialist Detachment can serve as a focal point for a powerful Stratagem that augments the already formidable combat prowess of your Possessed and Greater Possessed to new levels of horrible!

At the start of the third battle round, you can choose to either remain in Wanton Massacre or be engaged in Wanton Slaughter. You can include KHORNE BERZERKERS units in a CSM Detachment, using their datasheet from Codex: World Eaters (or, at the time of this writing, White Dwarf #477), in which case they are always Elites. Their faction keywords become CHAOS, KHORNE, HERETIC ASTARTES, TRAITORIS ASTARTES, and . If you do this they get Let the Galaxy Burn , have to be upgraded to have the Mark of Khorne, and never get a Legion Trait. Note that as of the time of this writing, Khorne Berzerkers come with the Mark Of Khorne and have it baked into their points cost, so you don’t need to pay additional points for their Mark Of Khorne. This is your option for bog-standard Chaos Space Marines, though thanks to Kill Team: Nachmund, they now have a ton of options and ways to be kitted out that make Legionaries useful includes in a Chaos Space Marines army. While they’re not the most efficient units in the codex, they definitely have some real play depending on your Legion and playstyle.

As an added bonus, this model is a WARP LOCUS, so he can drop in any Daemon codex units that have tagged along a mere 6” from the enemy. Flamers and Bloodletters love getting close to the enemy, but do note he is restricted to Warp Locus-ing units from the same God if he is anything besides Undivided. Dark Apostle Passing this final test, Marduk received the blessing of Lorgar and was welcomed into the ranks of the evil priesthood who called themselves the Dark Apostles. Tzeentch: Mutating Invocation (Aura) – While a friendly TZEENTCH CORE or CHARACTER is within 3”, roll a D6 each time a model in that unit would lose a wound; on a 6, that wound isn’t lost. This is a solid little buff that pairs well with the failed save ability for the mark, but won’t stop you from dropping your mark’s damage zero ability on your first failed save. C+ Cultist Mobs are the perfect unit for filling out a Battalion detachment and many CSM armies run one unit of Legionaries and two units of Cultists. You don’t want these guys anywhere near melee if you can help it so give them cultist firearms instead of close combat weapons. If you really want them to be able to fight you should take Accursed Cultists instead. Accursed Cultists Of all the Traitor Legions, the Word Bearers are by far the most zealous, chanting blasphemous catechisms to the Dark Gods as they do their unholy work in battle. They are often accompanied by corrupted cultists and the Daemons that their rituals have summoned forth from the warp or bound within fearsome war engines. The Word Bearers are far from mere fanatics who blindly fight for their infernal masters, however. They are Space Marines first and foremost, and so combine their frenzied devotion with disciplined battlefield tactics and ruthless efficiency.

Noise Marines don’t see much play outside of Emperor’s Children, where they really enjoy being Troops and getting the Legion Trait to ignore modifiers to hit which offsets their Heavy penalty. In those armies they’re typically taken as units of 5 with a Blastmaster and chainswords on the rest, or potentially a power fist on the champion. They can be solid mid-range support in other armies, though many armies may find Havocs are a better play thanks to the legion trait. That said, a unit of 5 noise marine with sonic blasters and a blastmaster isn’t a bad unit to have for mid-range fire support in more casual environments. Rubric Marines Space Marines have Chapters, Chaos Space Marines have Legions. There are 9 original traitor legions, three of which – Death Guard, Thousand Sons, and soon, World Eaters – have their own codexes (and their own Start Competing articles). The remaining 7 are covered in Codex: Chaos Space Marines, along with two additional Legions, the Red Corsairs and Creations of Bile. If psychic powers aren’t your thing, what about praying to the dark gods for help? PRIEST models in your army know the Dark Zealotry prayer and may know a number of others. These may be chanted in your Command phase and will activate/be heard on a D6 roll of a 3+, though note that Dark Apostles will be heard on a 2+ while their acolytes are around. There are six Prayers to the Dark Gods you can choose from in addition to Dark Zealotry, plus four more for the Chaos Gods which your PRIEST unit will know for free if they have the appropriate mark. Note that CULTIST units can only know the first three prayers on the list, i.e. Benediction of Darkness, Litany of Despair, and Omen of Potency. Once heard, prayers stay in effect until the start of your next Command phase. Hallucinogenic smoke had coiled around him in the tomb, and as he deeply breathed in the fumes, his body had passed into a catatonic state nearing death, allowing his spirit to soar free in the Empyrean. Marduk had fought an endless army of Daemons that sought to test his resolve. He knew not how long the Ruinous Powers subjected him to this test of endurance.Note that there are two Chaos Legions that have their own Codexes and aren’t subfactions of the Chaos Space Marines. You can find information on how to play them in their own Start Competing articles:
