Balanced/Versatile CSM List

Dedicated said:

Hi there, fellow followers of the blood god!

I am new to the forum and I am starting this hobby again after 8 years.

The idea is to create a very balanced army it does not realy have to win all matches or anything but I'd like it to be as versatile and balanced as possible.

I think I made a good start with this list and made it myself and with the help of other list that are already posted. I am still doubting what troops to pick but I think khorne and plague marines do well with the csm and thus makes them a bit balanced in terms of pressure and defense. Of course correct me if I am wrong!

Any help and/or word of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ohh and not to forget, death to the false emperor!

HQ
Not sure what to put here yet to be honest, maybe an DP and an GD. I would really like some advice here.

TROOPS
(8) Berserkers 180
Aspiring Champion
Rhino w/ Extra Armour
take 10 man squads more attacks harder to kill and twice as affective. also dont take powerfist in the squads its a waste of points because if you see something that you think you need a power fist to kill just avoid it and shot it with something else. also you dont need extra armor because rhinos when shot are either killed when they are hit or just shaken and in the event that you are shaken you can still move. now if you are worried about your zerkers getting stunned yea go ahead and take it because they are high priority to get into combat.(8) Plague Marines 180
Aspiring Champion
Rhino w/ Extra Armour
(10) Chaos Space Marines 218
Aspiring Champion
Missile Launcher
Rhino w/ Extra Armour
these squads here are a bad combo because you are going to hold an entire squad up just to shoot one rocket launcher shot off. take another special weapon and charge the enemy. they work better that way.

ELITE
2 Obliterators - 150
take another defiler instead you want to spam units in this game because you dont want to lose something that you rely on to do its job its better to have multiple of the same unit to get the job required acomplished.Chaos Dreadnought | 2 x DCCW - 100
drop the dread they suck that thing will never make it into combat unless some idiot player decides to assualt you. they get blown up 9/10 of the time and never reach combat. take more chosen and give them 5 plasma guns instead5
Chosen | 4 x Meltaguns - 165 take 2 squads of chosen or even 3 give them plasma guns and put them into a rhino they will pretty much kill anything on the field i use 3 squads of 5 with all plasma guns and i kill terminators no problem.
HEAVY
Defiler | 3 x DCCW, Heavy Flamer - 150
these are good unitsDefiler | 3 x DCCW, Heavy Flamer - 150

That would be a total of 1861 points depending on what HQ's I'd take.

Again any help is appreciated! :grin:
