I like the idea of the cultists!

Presumably that puts its release after the Chaos Codex, then, as the cultists don't exist at the moment?

Plastic cultists. This may well be something to look for on Ebay after the release then.

That is a very different and dare I say it – interesting set. I wasn't interested in it until I saw the cultist. Very glad to see them making a comeback.

Yeah, baby! My "Servants of Slaughter" will be massively supplemented by this. I applaud GW's guts at putting this force in the box!

That and a plastic Dread…

Plastic cultists will sell like crazy. It's about time, they show up in the fluff often enough to warrant figures.

"I applaud GW's guts at putting this force in the box!"

GW has guts? News to me!

I think if this is actually what is in the new box then it's a fantastic selection. But at this point it's still a rumor so I'll put on my "wait and see" cap…

At last a plastic Chaos dread. Anyone have links to photos of the new set?

That actually sounds like an interesting set. Here's hoping the plastic cultists are cool.

I will buy at least one set. The Dark Angels to use them as allies of my Blood Angels, and the Chaos to, well, expanding my Chaos army!

I will probably be buying the new set, both of those forces sound interesting to me.

Plastic Chaos Dread? Oh yes please!

Cultists?

Do want.

In droves. More droves than they will die in!

I half wish they did nt have plastic Chaos dread- I have 3 Chaos dreads already.

Really stoked to see Chaos Cultists- I will be buying and/or swapping at my local club for at least one set.

Oooh Cultists! The return of Cultists would be very welcome indeed!

Altogether now….

"For Chaos!"

And if the new rule allowing allies is true there's some real potential there … hmm I wonder…

Me thinks perhaps my Genestealer Cult army could be having a come back. ;)
