You may remember the Legion of the Damned from the old school rules. Well they were just cool looking marines if I am correct back then but now they are giving them special abilities. Here is the newsletter for those of you that don't get one:
Today at Games Day Italy we unveiled the all-new metal Legion of The Damned models. The Legion of The Damned are Spaces Marines in appearance. Their black armour is adorned with chilling images of bone and fire, and an eerie glow suffuses their sable armour and a halo of ghostly fire dances about their feet. Considered by some to be an extension of the Emperor’s superhuman will and by others as the vengeful and immortal spirits of fallen Space Marines, Damned Legionnaires fight with a chill precision few mortal warriors can match. Out in January, the Legion of The Damned are an Elite Space Marine unit who can always Deep Strike and can even opt to re-roll the deep strike scatter dice. Also, their 3+ saving throw is invulnerable.
Exciting or what Marines fans. Now here is a question that I want to know; are they going to be mercenaries and work for anyone like the Arbites used to be or will they just be another army all on their own. I guess we will find out more. Until next time...
Ok, this weekend I played a rather long 4 way game. It was my Chaos vs. Ultramarines vs. Necrons vs. Tyranids. This is the army list I used for that game. Tomorrow I will follow up with the battle report.
Sorceror Lord with the Mark of Khorne, plasma pistol and Doombolt- 95
Horrors- 85
Chaos Marines (15) with a heavy bolter, plasma gun and a Champion with powerfist- 240
Chaos Marines (20) with an autocannon, plasma gun and a Champion with the Axe of Khorne- 315
Beserkers (15) with a plasma gun and a Champion with lightning claw and the Rage of Khorne ability- 250

Now some of you might argue with the total but don't forget the Champions were all a free upgrade according to the rulebook. Stayed tuned for that battle report and of course some pictures.
