Well been toying around with a few things and now i've got the Lash army down and ready I decided I wanted to play something a little more fun, the concept behind this army is that I like walkers, mainly from my days of playing battletech so with that in mind I decided the Chaos army is the perfect oppertunity to take 6!, anyway let me know what you guys think...

2x Daemon Princes: Wings, MoN

3x Dreadnoughts: Plasma Cannons

3x Defilers: CC Weapon

10 CSM: 2x Plasma Guns, Champ, Fist

11 CSM: 2x Plasma Guns, Champ, Fist

1500pts exact

what do we all think?

love the idea
you should play ork!
take 2 meks and you can have 3 dreadz and 6 kanz, 2 dreadz and 9 kanz, or 5 dreadz

Whilst its an awesome idea, i just can't bring myself to play orks anymore, I like the old models too much and really just cannot stand the new ones, besides in regards to a walker army Marines seem to fit the bill a lil more, i'm going to start working on a 6 Dread list soon for SM but I have all the bits for Chaos now so I can start playtesting Walker mayhem!

lol, just go apoc. style with 10 or so of each possible walker XD
could be amusing to see 10 defilers lined up with 10 dreads infront of them.

I have been thinking or running a list like that for a long time now. It looks incredibly fun and pretty solid at 1500.

Nice!!!!

like the idea, nice army list, sounds fun to play

2+ MC and 6 walker CSM lists are killer. But I have some advice for you.

Drop the Plasma Cannons on the Dreads, they're only gonna murder your own guys or pop your other walkers, take an extra DCCW or TL Heavy bolters.

Give your princes either warptime or Nurgle's rot. Warptime is soo deadly, and the Rot is great for hordes.

I'd lighten up your troop chices a bit, your walkers and princes are going to be doing all of the work. I'd go with 3- 5 man squads. One in a rhino with a flamer. and the other two with meltaguns to defend against tank shocks. No power fists, you have soo many high ST attacks with the princes and walkers.

I'd advance the walkers in 3 pairs. a Defiler and a dread in each pair. Pick an enemy unit and concentrate all 3 battle cannons at it until it's dead, rinse and repeat. keep the rhino with troops behind your line and use that to take enemy objectives. Keep your other 5 man squads in the rear siting on your own objectives.

should be a fun win, but good luck finding anyone who will want to play this kind of list more than once. It hurts.

At higher points levels, drop the regular marines and take Plague Marines and Berserkers. And add a greater Daemon. It's a deadly combo.

Iunno, if his dreads all have plasma cannons they'll kill your own army.

But if you switch em to weaker guns, he has nothing that's a match for Obliterators.

Oblits get 2+ save against defiler's battle cannon, and 9 lascannons would have a good chance of scrapping quite a few of your vehicles every turn.

The only anti-obliterator guns you'd pack would on average be shooting your own army 1 shot per turn. (3 dreads, 2 shots at your own army every other turn = 1 shot per turn.)

Chaos dreads are pretty unreliable as your only real anti-tank.

If the enemy takes several landraiders or lascannon predators, Armor 14 + S9 Lascannons will massacre Armor 12 + S8 guns and S7 guns that shoot your own team.

Have you thought about adding a greater daemon? Another MC would make this list even more crazy.
