Today the final part of the 2013 digital advent calendar was released, and Cypher has returned to the battle fields.
The data slate can be found here:

My first impressions of it are that it is a great representation of the Fallen Lord (and his followers). The data slate has around 30 pages of fluff (on iPad mini) and then rules for Cypher and a formation of Fallen Angels. At the end there is the customary Alter of War missions.
Cypher himself is a potent HQ choice, the only sad thing being he cannot be your warlord and only HQ option. He can be taken in all Imperial armies (except Dark Angels) and Chaos Marines as a HQ choice that does not take up a slot.. I'm not going to post equipment specifics, but his rules and weaponry aptly represent him. And he has eternal warrior which is quite handy, and his pistols are very nice.
The formation consists of Cypher and 1-3 chaos chosen squads, without the chaosy items. A nice representation of a Fallen Angel warband, with some decent special rules, such as ATSKNF (!)
Anyway, that's all for now. I'll check in in a few days, with a review of my impressions of the new iPad mini as a reading device.
Beakies. Bah Humbug!
