The Black Library Unlocks The Secrets Of The Damned
February 22, 2014 by brennon
Codex: Legion of the Damned has now been released by Black Library and you can uncover the secrets of this black armoured, flame wreathed Space Marines.
"Codex: Legion of the Damned allows you to add Legion of the Damned squads into your Warhammer 40,000 army, or field them as a detachment in their own right. It includes extensive background on the mysterious Legion of the Damned, detailing the times they have appeared to fight alongside the armies of the God-Emperor. Also inside you will find rules for Legion of the Damned units, as well as three new missions, an artefact and Warlord Traits and, all unique to these legendary warriors."
The artwork is fairly awesome and the background should prove interesting to any fluff nuts out there. As the blurb above says this allows you to use them in your armies as allies or indeed make them a force in their own right. I think they are some of the coolest looking miniatures out there at the moment but they obviously have the road block of being fairly expensive.
There is of course nothing to stop you making your own Legion of the Damned using normal Space Marines alongside plenty of skulls and flames.
Will you become one of the Damned?

Been waiting for something like this for a long time
I have a bunch of these – the first marine I ever painted was for a competition held in a store in Derry. It was a bog-standard marine, and I wanted to do something different, so I painted it as Legion of the Damned. I came second.
That’s weird, that’s exactly what happened to me, it was Sergeant Centurius I believe.
In GW no less, and they gave away prizes.
A detachment of 3+ invun save uber marines?
Cripes. At some point even points can’t do that justice.
Precisely what we need, a marine codex.
It’s legion of te damned and they had a codes supp in 2nd and 3rd as well as a legion box you could buy with 10 legion guys and a special character centurarious and they could take vehicle dreads and termies and the whole army could deep strike
Does this at all mean the ELITES Legion of the Damned entry in the Space Marine codex is void now…?
