A New 40k FAQ's Controversial Change Has Been Reversed!



Create a stir and wow, its been removed. The Lord of Raptors has changed again. They are removing the change from the errata. Here are the details......


You will need to update the FAQs for Vigilus Defiant. Yea..... I know.... we have to reprint to keep our rules current.

The errata published yesterday updated Haarken Worldclaimer’s rules so that, as a Black Legion special character, his abilities worked specifically with the Raptor vanguard of the Black Legion, in line with the studio’s original intent for the character.
However, lots of you got in touch yesterday to say that you really liked the idea of him leading a combined force of Raptors for the Legions of the Eye, both from a narrative and rules standpoint.
And on reflection, we agree – the idea that Abaddon’s right-hand-Raptor would lead ALL the Raptors of the traitor Legions is pretty cool – so we’re removing that change from the errata. After all, Haarken is the personal herald of the Warmaster who commands Heretic Astartes from all the traitor Legions.  
So now, Harken’s rules synergise with Raptors of all varieties, and you can use him to spearhead (literally) a charge alongside a raging band of World Eaters jump-troops or add his morale-sapping aura to a Night Lords terror wing.
Have fun with the character, Chaos Space Marine fans, and you’d better hurry – Haarken promised Vigilus to the Warmaster, and by our count, he only has 49 days left to deliver.
