Hi all, I'm thinking about building a CSM army with Fabius Bile. I wish I could get some advices from you guys. This is something i could go on tournament but also for fun games. I know Fabius is not the most competitive HQ option but I find it a lot of fun! I don't know much about the Fabius' fluff, so tell me if I'm going wrong somewhere I guess i wanna go with Nurgle Icons, S5/T5 sounds awesome!


HQ: 335

Fabius Bile (160)

Well, this guy is a must

Daemon Prince (175)
- MoN, Wings, Warptime

I guess DP is the best option for second HQ. Warptime OK?

ELITES: 250

Dreadnought (125)
- Extra Armour
- Plasma Cannon
- CCW w/ Heavy Flamer

Dreadnought (125)
- Extra Armour
- Plasma Cannon
- CCW w/ Heavy Flamer

I'm not sure about these guys but they would be great for conversion reasons I know Chaos Drednoughts tend to go wild every now and then... I would keep these guys together so they can shoot each other... Should i use some other weapons?

TROOPS: 942

10 x Chaos Space Marines (325)
- Enchanted Warriors
- MoN
- Aspiring Champion w/ Power Fist
- 2 x Meltagun
- Rhino

10 x Chaos Space Marines (325)
Enchanted Warriors
MoN
Aspiring Champion w/ Power Weapon
2 x Plasma Gun
Rhino

9 x Chaos Space Marines (292)
Enchanted Warriors
MoN
Aspiring Champion w/ Power Fist
1 x Flamer
Rhino

Lots of enchanted marines. I want my rhinos full if I gonna lose couple of marines on enchanted rolls. Different weapons for different objects. Fabilus goes in the last rhino. One champion has a power weapon cause I have no more points. Should i give them all Plasma Pistols? What about other special weapons?

HEAVY SUPPORT: 470

Obliterator (75)

2 x Obliterator (150)

Oblis rocks, but i dont have any personal icons, so deep strike gets harder... I guess I can't get any personal icons for my troops?

7 x Havoc (245)
- 4 x Lascannon

I'm not sure about these guys, quite expensive squad, but i like the fact that i have some long range weaponry to destroy tanks. Though If you have better ideas let me know!


SO tell me what you think. What should I change? This is now 1997 points and I think tournament armies are something like 1500/1750? After I get this army list right I'll make a blog about building this army! (btw. this is my first post on DAKKA DAKKA ) Thanks!

I'm not sure about havocs - they're too expensive... Maybe you could swap them for one obliterator (and join him to single one) and defiler plus add another CSM with flamer to the last squad

Surely you'll have a lot of fun with those 2 dreadnoughts... good luck

I need 10 Chaos Marines if I want a second flamer and I need room for Fabius...

I'd switch out the dread and the havok squad for more obliterators.

I also don't know about the demon prince, the general thought on DPs is that one will die FAST, two will actually get to do something.

another thought with this army is to ditch the dreads, oblits, and dp, and lead all your enchanted marines into lanr raiders, so that they can charge out of them on the second turn.

Also you want to maximize the potential of str 5, so I would go for khorne rather than nurgle, but that's me.

40 ish str 5 attacks pouring out of each LR on the second turn sounds good to me! that will annihilate horde ork armies.

Well, Bile fights like a Grot.
Havocs are not a must have. Lascannons lost an edge in the new edition due to cover saves and modified armor penetration table.
I'd replace them by Obliterators or a Defiler.
