Chaos Space Marines Focus: The Lord Discordant After Shadowspear and Abaddon, could the new Chaos release get any cooler? Yes. Yes it could. Meet the Lord Discordant.   We’ll give you a few seconds to take it all in. This is the Lord Discordant – a new HQ choice for Chaos armies that combines the might of a Maulerfiend, the wisdom of a Warpsmith and the leadership of a Chaos Lord into one deadly package. This is Chaos turned up to 11, then turned up some more, until the dials fall off and start leaking blood. Some of you spotted this guy on the cover of Vigilus Ablaze, before being shot down in the comments of our Facebook page – consider yourselves vindicated! Right now, we’re sure you have some questions, and we’ve got answers… What is a Lord Discordant? Lords Discordant are Chaos Space Marines who have a sinister, arcane mastery over machinery, similar to Warpsmiths in their training and fell purpose. However, while Warpsmiths are generally found behind their mechanical charges, enacting repairs, Lords Discordant prefer to lead from the front, fighting from the backs of scuttling Daemon Engines known as Helstalkers. Bellowing profane litanies that cause nearby machines to glitch and seize, they specialise at dismantling tanks, skimmers and the like with prying mechadendrites and brutal swings of their impaler chainglaives. Lords Discordant feed off the suffering of the machines they destroy, using their captured motive force to repair their Daemon Engines and annihilate the enemy with coruscating beams of repurposed energy. How Do They Work In-game? Lords Discordant are an HQ choice for Chaos Space Marine armies. If you love Daemon Engines, this is the leader for you, enhancing the powers of Maulerfiends, Defilers or any other unit you might choose. Enacting battlefield repairs and disrupting enemy vehicles, no heretic armoured spearhead should be without one!  A Lord Discordant is a deadly combatant in their own right and, while specialising in dismantling vehicles, can put those same skills to work on more organic foes. Lords Discordant also pack some pretty impressive firepower with your choice of autocannon or baleflamer.  When Can I Get One? Patience, oh loyal servant of Chaos! The Lord Discordant is but one of the incredible new releases on the way for Chaos Space Marines and will be available to pre-order over the next few weeks. If you’re itching to start your horde of Daemon Engines early, well, you’re in luck! The Lord Discordant synergises amazingly with pretty much everything in Shadowspear, which is available to pre-order now. And, if you’re looking to really unleash some carnage, grab yourself a Lord of Skulls – you haven’t seen destruction until you’ve seen one supercharged by a Lord Discordant… |

I can finally re-build that hellforged hunting pack list that got basically screwed over with 8th edition... I think this guy would love to accompany my very lonely and neglected brass scorpion....
...with friends... many, many friends....

I wonder if you take him in a CSM Spearhead, have him swear fealty to the Death Guard Legion; would your Death Guard Battalion then gain the benefit as he shares a legion with the separate detachment?

Pretty solid shooting base if it works that way. Plaguebursts hitting on 3' would be worth taking with their 36" lascannon equivalent over the flamers along with their "I shoot things I can't see" mortars.

Please, oh please, have fewer than 10 wounds. I'd suspect it is going to be something like the Ork killtrike T6/7 with W8 and 3+/5++, maybe regain 1 wound a turn in demon engine fashion. Rider will be 3+ Bs/Ws and the mount will be 4+ WS/BS that becomes 3+ with its own aura. |

Yeah, that's more of why I'd thought maybe taking him from codex CSM then selecting Death Guard as his legion would work. You're likely right though, it'll get FAQ'd to death that he doesn't confer his buff to those "fancy" CSM armies that get their own books. |
