The top one is the 3d design from the designer's desk. Really loving the human harp. It's a great detail!

Codex Traitor Legions - Emperor's Children Rules?

By now, I'm sure a lot of people will have seen the hashed out shorthand version of the Traitor Legions' rules on Natfka. As an avid Emperor's Children fan I excitedly checked out their section. For those who missed it, I've copied out the relevant section at the bottom.

The first thing I had to ask is - how accurate/non rubbishy are these rules? And did they come from the book. After having a thorough read, they do look quite legit; there's no particularly telltale signs that they're not "real" like obvious overpower or random things that don't make sense. That said, they're a little hard to completely decipher given the fact they're like someone else's scribbled notes.

Impressions

The Legion trait of Feel no Pain 6+ and fearlessness for all models with Veterans of the Long war will be a really nice bonus; giving a bit more survive ability in all aspects with an ever-useful stacking save. Noise marines as troops is a bit redundant as Chaos already have that with a Chaos Lord with the mark of Slaanesh.

The inclusion of combat drugs is stated too, although I'm not sure how this will work as it's a little unclear. If it's free it'll be incredible (a little broken too). I'm assuming that you'll have to pay points for it somewhere or by having it through a formation. I couldn't work it out really (although +1 BS for my Noise Marines please)

The 6 warlord traits look decent, in particular the ability to add 1 to Feel no Pain rolls is looking desire able. If this rule set is right, the Icon of excess gives a unit a 4+ Feel no pain, so I could see a lot of people fishing to make it a 3+! (A stacking 3+ , Heresy!).

The Kakophoni Warband formation looks rather powerful if this info is correct. Shred and Split-Fire will make them deadly as anything and the additional point of strength on the guns will make those Sonic Blasters something to fear. The only downside is that you need 3 units of Noise Marines, which would mean a minimum of 18 for 3 units of 6 and a chaos lord - not sure how often I'd field that (especially given how silly having a massive wad of them with an icon of excess would be). Any way you look at it, this is one interesting rumour and I guess at this point we'll know more when the book is out.
