Loes.:victory:
Ok, so I was planning the army list for my future Chaos force, and I thought it all was figured out. I have already ordered my Troops and HQ, in which included enough parts to make 16 chaos space marines that I had intended to arrange into two 8-man groups, one with a meltagun and missile launcer, the other with a plasma gun and heavy bolter.
But then I discovered that a Chaos Marine squad needs at leat 10 members to carry a heavy weapon, and this forced me to reschedule.
That's what I could need some help with. But first, here's a list of what the army otherwise will contain, stripped down to the minimum:
HQ:
- 1 Chaos lord with Mark of Khorne, plasma pistol and power weapon.
- 1 Chaos lord with Mark of Khorne and power fist.
Elites:
- 7 Posessed and a Rhino transport with extra armour.
Troops:
- 8 Khorne Berzerkers, skull champion and Rhino trasport with extra armour.
Fast Attack:
2 Chaos Spawn.
Heavy Support:
- 1 Defiler
- 2 Obiterators
This costs a total of 1100 points.
When it comes to the Marines, I consider 3 options:
1) One squad of 10 with plasma gun and heavy bolter; and one squad of 6 with a flamer - both squads will have an aspiring champion. The idea here is that the 10-man squad will mostly give fire support, while the 6-man will have an assault task. This takes up 315 pts, which will leave me with 85 pts to spend on various upgrades.
2) One big squad of 16, given a plasma gunner and heavy bolter, and led by a champion. This will cost 295 pts, leaving 105 pts for ugrades.
3) Two groups of 8, both with a champion, one with a flamer and one with a plasma gun. Their roles will be as in option 1. This will cost a mere 230 pts, which will give me 170 pts to spend elsewhere.
A fourth option will be to do as in option 1, but making the 6-man squad Chosen. This, however, will be severely expensive...
So, which one do you think I should go for?
If you have any additional remarks regarding my army composition, please let me know.
Thanks a billion on advance! :grin:
