    Ngl the frequency of these codex drops really highlights how backloaded the Spring release schedule has been. Dark Angels released in February and then Orks and Custodes didn’t drop til late April.
    Of course it goes without saying that the Codex system is 20 years out of date.

      All rules and Codexes should drop on the release of their rule set. The method that gW adopted of dropping codexes throughout the editions life span is just ridiculous! I hope GW behaviour leads to it being isolated, and new leadership comes in, or just goes out of business so our models have some collection value, ha. it’s like being in a bad relationship, how much more can we take.

      Pretty sure the mark mechanic is exclusive to the index detachment but unless they change it then you can only give 1 mark and cant give them to named characters/ones that already have a mark... so without major changes abbaddon cant get the other marks (even if it only affects him in that one detachment

    Abaddon losing the four specific marks would be a real bummer. Not only did that give him some extra gameplay oompf, but it was also one of his defining features in the background. He is special in no small part due to gaining the favour of all Big Four individually, and fusing them into his own unique mark.

    The changes for CSM i like them i would hope that the units in that have stats for can used still when the codex come out. As nice it is for a chaos lord and jump pack getting new modes i feel other CSM can make them to if you are creative enough kitbashing . As for the battle force box they are great if starting off having a diverse amount of units for about 1,500 points army . Hoperully the firebrand character is worth taking if as a cultist epic hero . Hopefully Nightlords and other nique CSM legion get the love they deserve in this edition,

    On the Abby front, I’m gonna bet that the index detachment gets reworked into like a word bearers / demonkin detachment and we lose the exploding 5s synergy. Pacts alone is a fantastic army rule, right up there with Fate Dice, and to then have pacts crit on 5s is a bit bonkers. To have to balance 7 other detachments against that is no easy feat, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they completely rework the index detachment to increase appeal across all 8.

      ​​@@therooster8697I don't know how Abaddon dies when he is leading 10 terminators just deepstrike him next to a squad in turn 2 or just have him on board already. That's literally 4+ invuln 2+ armour save 30 wounds to go through, only assassin able to kill him in 1 turn is Vindicare but yet again deepstrike turn 2 next to him then remove him. Yes he gets spanked against any primarch he goes up against 1v1 or if they use epic challenge then don't allow them too, him and his terminators have full hit re rolls and can get lethal hits just delete them before they backhand you by simply positioning him unless it's Lion avoid combat with him because he will literally spank you no matter what you do if you touch him in melee, your Horus' son not the Emperor's son so don't expect him to be able to stand his ground against a man who 1v1ed Mortarion and won, a man who bashed Angron's face in with his shield, a man who is huge, very red and has wings.

    I don't mind a small Abaddon nerf (so long as others get boosted). Auto-including big named characters is kinda cheesy in lore, and the necessary painting is why I don't have any Tsons or World Eaters, having to field Big Red or Angron models to be relevant doesn't sit right. Another example, Lord Solar in every Guard army, silly, really. Abaddon shouldn't be needed when your vibe is Alpha Legion or Word Bearers or your own warband. Make him very good, but not all that. And the others.
