Calling all my fellow chaos players, Ive been tinkering around with the idea of khorne terminators, so far I have my termie lord with dual lightning claws and a 4 man chosen retinue with combi bolters and chainfists, as well as a power sword.

     My problem is pointswise and gameplay wise, I'm not sure what to give all these suckers,  my estimates have come around to 380 points for the lot but im not quite sure what to give them.

 Also Ive been tinkering around as to what to do with them on the table, deep strike is cool but leaves them motionless for a turn, maybe starting on the board and trudging along might help but I'm not sure.

Any help Dakkites?

Thanks

Tzeentch termies good for shootie support/countercharge, Slaanesh termies good for countercharge/shootie support, others not so much imho.

The +1 initiative makes a good solid assault unit. Termies do a lot better with an init boost than an attack boost due to being fantastic at assault already (2 attacks with a power weapon for every guy), and it's cheaper.

The +1 invul makes a good solid shoot it out type unit - 2+/4+ termies for ~35pts a dude is a pretty decent buy, especially with move and shoot guns.

With Chaos termies I'd say 10 man squads with both heavy weapons, combi-weapons to taste, and no HQs.

A couple rudimentary squads I worked up:

Slaaneshi termies, 8 combi-plasmas, 2 combi-meltas, 2 powerfists (+70pts, +15pts or whatever for the slaanesh mark) - 385

Tzeentch termies, 2 reaper autocannons, 2 powerfists (+70 +40) ~ 410 pts

I'm using six Slaaneshi Termies

1 Champ w/ TL LC (same # of attacks as a Chaos Lord at a cheaper price)
1 Guy Heavy Flamer
2 Guys Combi-Plasma
2 Guys Combi-Melta

I was going to add powerfists/chainfist but I'm just going to keep them with Power Weapons. They will do what they will do (rape infantry at I5).

This is a nice replacement for some of the sweeter Power Armour Lord builds from the old book, with deepstrike and some nice low level shooting support.

And it also uses the six guys from the Army Deal.

I like the Tzeentzh termies with the 2x Reapers.
