Chaos Marine Box Sets pt 4: Icons and Marks of the Gods
I had a few questions regarding the box sets that were being discussed, primarily along the customization options for the each of the Chaos Gods, and of course if a Hellbrute and Cultists models have been seen.
Here is the response.
Please remember that these are rumors and that we have had 3 other sets of rumors describing these models in some detail. These are really turning out to be some nice box sets. I am looking forward to their release.
Here are the links to the previous articles discussing these box set releases.

Time for another info packed message.
The icons are similar in design to the current plastic ones with one icon of each type being included. God specific pieces include a number of shoulder pads bearing a gods Mark and around 4 heads for each God. There is one unhelmeted head for each God excluding tzeentch which I think is meant to be due to the rubric fluff. It looks like you can add the finecast (noise marines and thousand sons) upgrade sprues to each unit to get a roughly full squad of marked marines.
The cultist and hellbrute models have been completed to my limited knowledge however I can't confirm seeing them. Release wise I have been told they are due but not so soon, they are meant to have been held off for another wave release alongside 2 more kits as yet un announced to me. An astute reader can most likely guess what these will be with finecast going the way of the dodo.
Chosen are in the 24 pounds Mark with havoc being similar in price. The lord is alas around the same price as the space marine captain/ librarian.
Oh unit sizes are as follows
Chosen/ chaos space Marines. 10 model box set
Havoc 5 model box set
