theres some one at my games workshop who plays chaos marines an I cant seem to beat him. any help? :thanks:

Although clichéd, I tend to favour a large stick.

Could you possibly give us some more information? Units fielded, style of play, etc?

And this should be in the 40k tactica area, not Dakka discussions.

He uses a demon prince, a sorcerer, khorne berzerkers, thousand sons, and world eaters havocs. I have a chapter master, a dreadnought with storm bolter, close combat weapon, and a multi melta, a ten man tactical squad with plasma gun and plasma cannon, a fiv man devastator squad with plasama pitol 2 lascannons, 2 heavy bolters, a missle launcher, and a plasma cannon, and five terminators with storm bolters and bower fists

How can you be 5-0-1 if you can't seem to beat chaos marines? Did you really mean 0-5-1?

This should go over well...

So according to this you played that Chaos player once and it was a tie.

Edit: Ninja'd by whitedragon

the game against chaos was a draw

Modquisition on:
This thread has been rightfully reported.

Cleveland, if you are asking for advice it is important to be polite to those providing it. If you can't do that then mayhaps another board is more appropriate for you.

am i going to be kicked off?

If you follow the Dakka Forum Rules, especially Rule #1, not likely.

Sad to say it, but it is true...

This thread is now:



In other words, CALM down with the personal attacks.

If you're not here to offer advice and help the please DON'T feel free to post personal attacks.

I can't tell if this is a troll or not.

That said, it's best for you to generally avoid close combat with the chaos marines and try to soften them up at range before they get to you. Given that he has a 1k sons unit you'll also want to take cover while you do it. Other than that it's entirely up to the table you're on and his moves. Nothing in his list is scarier than that berzerker squad though, excepting the demon prince. Probably best to focus fire on them first, especially since it looks like they're foot-slogging.

This is best thread.

Someone took my sig serious. Epic win!

Wait maybe i missed it does the OP say what army he is running against chaos as that matters a great deal

i play space marines and good joke Timmah!

How many points was this game?

You'll have to give us a bit more detail on the Havocs (what weapons did they use?), Sorcerer (what powers did he have?), and Daemon Prince (Was he fast? Did he have any powers?), since Berzerkers and T-sons and pretty much all laid out already. My advice for the T-sons would be to get some Rhinos and drive away from them, being slowpokes, and focus fire elsewhere, as T-sons are tough models to kill. The Berzerkers can really put the hurt on you in CC, don't let them charge you. If you're playing Salamanders (as you've implied with your topics ), you could really mess up those Berzerkers with shooting because Salamanders usually have mid-field superiority (Flamers, Meltas). That is, if you're following the Salamander Chapter tactics (they don't run away and they use a lot of fire weapons, hence why Vulkan replaces Chapter Tactics with TL fire weapons).

SHoot him wiff ur guns pew pew and if dat dont work shoot him wiff ur sords chop chop

Serious Business mode on:
Aim that plasma at his berzerkers before they get into combat.

Use your devs against his daemon prince.

Use those terminators against his thousand sons. Get into CC, dont waste time with the SBs. The chapter master should ride with the terminators.
That dreadnought should be drop-podded.

Thats all the advice I can give you until you give me some more info. What powers did his sorc have, what powers did his 1ksons aspiring sorc have, what mark and powers did the daemon prince have, how many khorne berzerkers did he have, did he have a skull champ? Did that skull champ have a power fist? What weapons did those havocs have? was anything mechanized?
