I think this is 1600 to 1700 points....SUGGESTIONS?

It might be a stupid question and please ignore me if you dont feel like answering, but if you're strapping everything into rhinos, then why not put meltas on every squad? Yes you're losing a shot at 12 inches but you're gaining strength and ap meaning they can go tank hunting if you hit a raider rush and you gain the added benefit of not worrying if you roll a one.


my .02

Good point! I was thinking the same thing, but not having played the new 5th yet (or played in nearly 2 years), I have yet had time to play test this! Thanks!

I'm with LucasLad, the mobility offered by the rhinos will almost offset the range difference. But the major atvantage is that it yould give you some nasty tank hunters, which is something your lacking.

Aside from that though... its a pretty good list

Another tactic you might want to look at is this. note: this only applies if plague marines still get true grit

because they have true grit, they are great at taking a charge.. also they can last for a while against any opponent. Their not close combat gods though, so a large but cheap squad of cannon fodder can tie up a squad that is worth a lot of points. I would get a raptor, or biker squad that can zip around, finishing off anything that rudely refuses to die by helpin out engaged plague marines.

I was thinking off adding raptors too, instead of the landraider....I am lacking fast.....

I'm just trying to tweak it a bit & see how to get it to 2k.

Truth be told fellas, I bought this army painted & assembled & with large blue carry case & many extras....

I'm just trying to tweak it a bit & see how to get it to 2k.

Bought it for $400 (included postage)......retail value is $666 of all numbers!

Nice buy it looks great. You might need more Oblits though...

The list as is could probably do well against MEQs. Other than that you'll need to do some tweaking to make it more of a take on all comers kind of affair.

well aside from the fact that some of your army isn't flashed.... YOU LUCKY I"M GOING TO ING KILL YOU YOU

um.. I was joking in case anyone (like the admins) have sensitive ears ... don't hurt me, and if you do, don't suspend my profile... i don't want to start from square one...


Yeah um... maybe get rid of the defiler, cause that is goin to atract just enough attention to destroy in turn 1 but if you have termies then you need some transports for em. but where is the LR in your list? and who would it carry? for 2k though a deddicated anti tank squad, in addition to speedy assault squad is a must. thats why raptors are your friend. Can they get melta bombs? if they can then get flamers, if not then get meltas and give your sarge some love... namely lightning claws. Downside is, they're expensive as hell and will soak up a lot of points to make them truly scary... but when you do... they will be very very scary.

nice snow effect....
maybe you could just make a squad of ten and stuff them in a raider

yeah,
we've seen this army before, a regular dakkaite Voodoo boyz had it displayed for sale~(for his friend) a little while ago?

Pretty nice army and i'm sure he'll help you with the paint scheme and snow when your adding to it!

PAniC...

Yup! That is the one! It didn't sell on ebay 2x and I lucked out by contacting him about it after it ended. I had 400.00 in my paypal and VOILA! Mine!

I am actually going to "finish" this army up. I'll remove mold lines, shade & highlight, repaint black base border and gloss it, add yellow glowing eyes, power weapons will be a sickly green glowing effect, and I'll "black line" everything to make it appear sharper & more dfined, etc....

I'll be adding the Forgeworld Sorcerer model that came out for Nurgle, using him as a champion of a troop squad, and I will add 2 rhinos too....Points allowing I will add a Raptor squad for sure....

I'll see what I can add thereafter...

I might have a DP, LR, and 5 more (FW) termies as alternates for alternate lists....

I chose to do 5 raptors, 1 deamon prince of Nurgle, and a FW dreadnought! that is 2k...I already have 3 heavy and can't do the LR....If points allow I'll add a 3rd Oblit....

yeah,
Sounds like a plan.

The new FW dead is beautiful! what guns you getting?
also What are you arming your raptors with?
I've got vanilla raptors no extra weapon outfitting and they are a bit underwelming to be honest. I'm planning to give mine some special weapons so they have a roll to play in a game... probabily meltas and fists.
Wings are a must on that DP!.

Good luck keep the thread updated as you go!
Panic...

I boughtthe Chaos Codex yesterday and did the point calculations...The army I bought was much closer to 2k then I thought...

Typhus

1 Defiler

7 Chaos Havocs

2 Oblierators

5 Terminators
->2 Power Fists, 4 Combi-weapons, One with a set of Lightning Claws, Mark of Nurgle

5 raptors, Mark of Nurgle

about 1910 pts before some more equipement additions.....

So no DP or FW dread....

take out obliterators and add DP, and you got 90 points left depending on what wargear you give the dread you could fit it in.

The Defiler will get lit, the Oblits will probably get lit, the Raptors will definitely get lit...

I would be more focused. Give the Rhino squads Meltas, and get some ACs in there. Footslogging Typhus and crew < LR Typhus and crew. It would be a good compliment to your Rhinos. I would say dropping the Defiler and Oblits for the LR would be your best bet.

If you don't feel like getting more models, I understand, but that's what I would say about the list you have.

Burning Star what you on about,i like his list and defilers are awesome!

Well, I added a few items and here is the lists!

2,000 point list

Chaos lord, termie armor, daemon weapon, mark of nurgle...
