The ever-inquisitive guys over at Faeit 212 have unearthed some titbits on Chaos Cultists from the (presumably) upcoming new Chaos Codex. The Cultists, it appears, will be slightly different to their current incarnation in the Dark Vengeance Starter Box. Oh, and there is also a splendidly old-school picture to go with the Cultists!
A Plastic Box with many options…
Cultists will come in a plastic box (rather self-evident as they are already in Dark Vengeance). Apparently with 10 Cultists to a box. Here is what the rumour-mongers of Faeit 212 say about the exact contents:
Oh, and cultists are getting a plastic box of 10 that comes with 10 sets of auto pistol / ccw arms, 10 autoguns, 2 shotguns, 1 heavy stubber, 1 flamer, 1 grenade launcher, 1 icon (with several top options), 1 power axe, 1 power maul and a bunch of bits to put here and there (such as frag grenades and trophies). Only thing I didn’t see was a power sword.
Moreover, there is the presumed Codex-entry (though it is quite possibly from an earlier draft or play-test version, and not what we may find in the actual Codex).
… and Old-School 40K Aesthetics!
A lot of things to tinker with there. But the best of all, I believe, is the leaded picture. It exudes a lot of old-school 40K flair. I certainly hope it is a harbinger of many more cool pieces of Chaos artwork!
Are you looking forward to Cultists hitting the tables everywhere? Did you already unwrap your Dark Vengeance box to give them a try?
I’d love to hear from you!
