The update outlines three detachments each for Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Daemons ahead of the new edition, spanning psykers, siege units, jump infantry, mounted forces, characters and Battleline troops.
Highlighted rules include stronger psychic and daemon-prince attacks, Heavy bonuses for Havocs and Obliterators, Night Lords-style fly-unit buffs, mounted fall-back-and-charge options, character objective boosts and faster Battleline assaults.
Games Workshop said more faction previews are due next week for World Eaters and Death Guard, while Adepta Sororitas will begin the coming week’s reveals.
With 70 detachments planned for the new edition, how will Games Workshop prevent overwhelming complexity and rules bloat?
As top-tier Chaos Marines get new tools, will this unbalance the meta just before the next edition launches?
