Book contents
Most of the book is data sheets and even more is creating the 9 legions to give you
themey armies, special rules, artifacts, warlord traits, objective markers, expanded
Nurgle and Slaanesh lore for DG & EC respectively.This means, like Tzeencth, now 6 + 1
primaries power. As with Wrath of Magnus, you can make any CSM army into a specific
legion given certain modifications, then the army gains additional special rules and
when an army is composed of at lest 1 core and 1 auxiliary formation you get a
formation with extra benefits. If you warlord is from this legion detachment it becomes
your primary detachment and all in the primary detachment gain the benefits. Just with
recent supplements an example is given when building a legion force where a gamer
has a collection of models and the example walks through how he/she would separate
models into a primary detachment with the bulk and a HQ & 2+ troops at least to for
a CAD which gains objective secured.
The book opens with some fluff for the Long War and a page with killer artwork for each
of the 9 legions presented here. We see the usual inclusion of high quality art and
photography of models engaged in combat were used to from GW. This is a supplement
to codex Chaos Space Marines so any new datasheets here replace what is in CSM. New
wargear is on pages 135-136. The new rules vehicle squadrons from Traitors Hate are
included where Chaos vindicators and predators can be taken as a squadron. I think
especially the vindicator one is best, and would be quite fluffy in an Iron Warriors list.
Very fluff choices, all around in my opinion. Legions hating their old Heresy enemies,
how they score, relics and traits but especially primary detachment rules.

Vindicators: 120 base/for 2nd & 3rd models (minimum cost: 360 pts) gains
Linebreaker Bombardment: Instead of firing all 3, select 1 vindicator to fire the
demolisher cannon which now becomes 24, S10, AP2, Ordinance but uses the 10
Apocalyptic Blast template and Ignores cover

Predators: 75 base/ for 2nd & 3rd (minimum cost 225) if all 3 predators are on field
they gain monster hunter and tank hunter.
General layout formations reflect the fighting style of each legion, taking into account
how steeped in Chaos they may be. So without further ado

Legions every legion has 6 exclusive warlord traits, artifacts, tactical objectives, rules
for CSM in their legion army, and if its detachment is the primary detachment allows
them to re-roll legion warlord trait.
For formations Im not copy/pasting all so see the first occurrence of the general
formations for details)

We get the 4 psy lores from before, and expanded Nurgle and Slaanesh disciplines plus
primaris.

Its a nice supplement and I think die-hard players of these legions will love it and do
much better in game but also, more importantly, enjoy their games more. Yes,
formations that are generic are in Traitors Hate, legion specific ones are in here,
however, as are expanded Nurgle and Slaanesh lores. Thousand Sons are same as WoM.
I love heresy and fluff so I give this a

4.7 (I like Nurgle)/5

GWs description from NZ page

Description

The Traitor Legions of the Chaos Space Marines have waged terrible wars of hate and
vengeance upon the Imperium of Mankind for ten thousand years. From the Daemon
worlds of the Eye of Terror, they plot the destruction of the empire they once helped to
build. They have neither forgotten nor forgiven the loyalists, nor the False Emperor
whom they serve. These warriors will not rest until the galaxy is burning, and the

Emperors putrid carcass is cast down from the Golden Throne into the filth where it
belongs.

Codex: Chaos Space Marines. It contains a wealth of additional content and rules that
