In the tradition of Chaos, the Iron Warriors: The Omnibus is finally out telling the story of the rise of the infamous Iron Warrior's Warsmith Honsou via Graham McNeill’s Ultramarines series. I was very tempted by this, but knowing it's couched in terms of the Ultras takes the shine (pun intended) off it. Also out in books next week is the first novel in the Warhammer Horror line The Wicked and the Damned and the audio drama Perdition's Flame.
Chaos Space Marines - to some the coming of evil, to others the vengeance wrought by sons betrayed by their father - has broken like a wave on the shore of the Community, and all is right with the world. 2019 finally sees Chaos Space Marines get the attention they have so richly deserved for so long. To the simplest in the Community they are the bad guys, to the more nuanced they are those who turned their back on (as the Horus Heresy fluff now tells us was) an uncaring father, so allying themselves with unknown power from beyond The Warp. Enough foreplay... because all of this is in honour of the next part of Imperium Nihilus, Vigilus Ablaze which comes in Raining Black Death From the Heavens Collector's Edition and the Mum There's a Spiky Man At The Door Standard Edition. plus if you pre-order it on the webstore you can get this lovely pin! Now with Chaos entering the fray, Codex Heretic Astartes is here and interestingly the new Codex only comes in one flavour - Spikey Death To Our Father Standard Edition. If you're more a hobbyist or were stung by getting a new Codex only a few months ago so you're on strike, there's the minis - and they do not disappoint. Abaddon the Despoiler, the Warmaster is back - bigger and frankly frakkin' amazing! There's a tonne of features on this guy and customizable elements. Even for the price, he's worth it. What would a leader be without troops, and here's where we get the real joy - Chaos Space Marines! Every race and their domesticated creature of choice now has some special scenery and the Chaos Space Marine one does not disappoint - the Noctilith Crown is basically a massive blackstone shield generator and it's cool!! As with most new releases there are themed Chaos Space Marines Dice and Chaos Space Marines Datacards. Now if you're #HardForHeresy for these releases, then you can get these free Chaos Dog Tags by ordering the weekend's Chaos pre-orders and if you just order the new Codex online, then you'll get these Chaos Art Cards. There have been a number of Chaos vehicles including the Heldrake, Rhino, Forgefiend/Maulerfiend combi-kit which have been off the site for a while - well they're now back and repackaged along with the Chaos Cultists and the Chaos Terminator Lord/ Sorcerer combi-kit.

So are the new chaos marines the same size as the primis marines which I thought are bigger than old marines right even though the chaos marines are old marines. New gift of the chaos gods.

Only buy blood bowl stuff now. I am usually a little behind on those anyway. Probably have not bought anything else GW since 40K 5th edition when my vehicle light marines were slaughtered and my nid army somehow ended up with no HQ's. Might have looked at the titan game but the scale change from my existing titans and price point were a turn off.

Abaddon looks freaking awesome and the new marines are very nice indeed. I'm interested to see how they scale with the old as well, since I have an unassembled squad sitting around that would welcome some of the fresh styling.

Hey BlueMako, Very curious it see the scale too. Think the old ones will look pretty small, but the shoulder pads and weapons should still be good .

I've seen a comparison on the web (https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/9tpgoo/new_chaos_space_marine_size_comparison_estimate/) and if correct looks like the new CM are about a head taller but the shoulder pads and weapons are similar. 24/3/2019 06:36:30
Oh yes, that's the Blackstone Fortress guy. Nice mini! The older guy looks a little sad over there.
