Overall I think this Codex has opened up a lot of ways to play and to compliment the various Legions and Daemons or lead themselves to victory over the corpse throne. Chaos Beasts suddenly got fun, and jump pack troops deploying away from the enemy in cover and not gambling on that 25% charge chance is suddenly viable.
If you don’t belong to one of the main Legions the special ability for your army is being able to advance and charge. This is where one of the key benefits of the Codex come in. I also have some Daemons which will be another detachment spread through my horde. Part of that is my Death Guard, which I’ll be running as a detachment in their own right but for me the core of my army are a renegade chapter now called The Granddads that worship Nurgle (stop shaking your heads). I’ll start with my personal Chaos army and then go to generic stuff afterwards. So that was a lot of reasons not to buy this book now for my opinions on why to buy it. You also are not able to build a Chaos Daemons list from this book, as per before use the Index for now. It has also been made very clear that if Death Guard or Thousands Sons are your only Chaos units then you are better off sticking to your Index rules until the shiny new Codexes for those armies arrives (Gimme Death Guard NOW). You can however take it as an Index approved unit. An example of this is a Chaos Lord on a bike no longer exists in this Codex. The Indexes allow us to keep using our old models and units. If you bought the Chaos Index you have the base rules to field all your old Chaos models. Before I talk about what is inside this codex I’m going to talk about what isn’t in it and why you don’t have to buy it (yeah I laughed as I typed that). This is the Chaos Marines Codex for Warhammer 40k 8th edition.
