The army itself is battle-forged because all units share the 'Chaos' key wordg. Basic csm codex (from the looks of it there are just detachments / formations in this book, not realy changes to unit profiles or costs) + Traitor legions book + Imperial Armor (for units like the sicarian). you can't use DG stratagems on TS units). That way:Įach detachment benefits from its own special rules (but they aren't usable for the other detachment i.e. The best way to do what OP wants is to have two separate detachments, one TS and one DG. There's nothing stopping you from mixing and matching 'Chaos' units in the detachment but if it's not all Death Guard it doesn't get the extra stuff. If the detachment is like this it can use the bonus Death Guard rules, stratagems etc. in this case a 'Death Guard' detachment is one entirely made up of units with the 'Death Guard' keyword. require the detachment to share a specific keyword - e.g. Abilities like Chapter Tactics, Legion Traits etc. You can have a number of different detachments.

Thousand Sons and Death Guard both share 'Chaos.'Ī detchment is the building block of the army. The Traitor Titans aided Horus' forces from the beginning of the revolt against the Emperor, most notably the infamous Legio Mortis which had battled the Traitor Legions' remaining Loyalist Astartes during the Battle of Istvaan III following the virus-bombing of the planet, and took part in the Drop Site Massacre on Istvaan V.

Some of these items have long and notorious histories stretching back to the Horus Heresy and beyond, while some are iconic objects acquired from Daemon-infested worlds within the Eye of Terror, which mirror the corruption of their. You can make it battle-forged (and must do to use it in matched play) by sharing at least one key word. One of the coolest things in the new Traitor Legions book (and the list is long) are the thematic and powerful relics that every Legion can take for their heroes. Where did you read that it'll be impossible?Īn army is the entire list. You just need your army to be battleforged. This will unlock warlord traits and wargear for whatever legion (or legions) you choose as well as allow you to use the stratagems found in the Chaos Space Marines Codex.Īre you sure? I haven't read anything that says you can't use Death Guard stratagem on a Death Guard detachment. You can build a "Death Guard" and "Thousand Sons" mixed army using the Chaos Space Marine codex by giving all your units from the detachments the Nurgle or Tzeetch keywords. From what we have seen so far these stratagems are pretty powerful and seem to be GWs way of giving people an incentive not to build the "soup" lists.
