I'm guessi g people take the word fun as in must always win he he wants to run xerkers without rhinos what is the big deal everyone basically came down on him telling him that his way can't win that he needs rhinos to win. And Roders at one point you stated the chaos codex was rubbish than you changed your opion that you like and that you don't think its rubbish.

I'm fairly sure I said if Paladins are woeful then the Chaos codex is rubbish, and since I don't think Paladins are woeful, I don' think the Chaos Codex is rubbish, otherwise I wouldn't have gone back to it after playing SW and SM for a year, and every army i've tried to start since, i've given up on because I enjoy playing with Chaos so much.

Some people have given advice for not using Rhinos (me and at least one other person), mainly centred around not bothering with the Land Raider, to fit in more foot zerkers, as in theory only 30 Zerkers and a Land Raider (and the oblits) don't really fit together, if I were running a foot Zerker list (and I did a few times when I played Chaos before a couple of years ago) I wouldn't bother with the Land Raider, just go for as many Zerkers as possible (with 6 Oblits, and I think I used one Lash Prince, maybe two, can't remember).

The land raider is ment for support fire and is good to get the termis and im guessing kharn to the front lines

That doesn't compliment/work that well with the foot Zerkers in my opinion, as I said in a pervious post, its pretty expensive (almost 1/3 of the army) and I don't think its that great for support fire (for its points), and is quicker than the Zerkers, and if its sits back for a turn or two to shoot there is a decent chance against a lot of armies, of it being immobilised or wrecked before it delivers the Termies and Kharn, meaning they then arrive late (or it zooms forward first turn and they arrive early) either way its risky, and I would rather have more Zerkers on the board...

A Land Raider is terrible fire support for the points and can't shoot if it's rushing to the front-lines. I agree with rodgers, you should get more Berzerkers if you want to run them on foot. If you want to keep the Land Raider, fit in Rhinos.

What happens if the landraider is basically used at a decoy so the zerkers can have less fire if they were to move closer.

People generally don't shoot the same kind of guns at a land raider that they would at berzerkers.

Im pretty sure they do.

Lascannons, meltaguns, and the like fire at Land Raiders. Everything else fires at the Berzerkers. Missile launchers, autocannons, multi-lasers, heavy bolters, splinter cannons, shuriken cannons, scatter lasers, missile pods, burst cannons, etc all fire at infantry.

Nah in my experince I've been shot at by lascannons and metla weapons with my zerkers plus lance weapons its a way to kill the unit quicker.

so they'd still be shooting the zerkers...

I think your point is a little flawed...

It is a little flawed when you think about it.
