Heyy guys, in a couple of weeks my local gaming club is running a combat patrol tournement. This is the list I'm thinking of taking but as I've never played a game that small I was looking for some advice? Thanks in advance.

1. Chaos Space Marine Squad (5)
w/ Flamer, Icon of Chaos Glory, Rhino(Dozer Blade) - 130pts.

Hey Malice,

I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. I've always been a Tyranids player but I thought I'd branch out and make a Chaos combat patrol for an upcoming tournament. I was going to go with:

10 Khorne Bezerkers, one of which is a Skull Champion

5 Havocs with Lascannon, Missile Launcher, Autocannon and Heavy Bolter

I think that comes to 385 pts (I'm at work and don't have a codex in front of me).

My thoughts behind this is that you're probably going to want to gain the upper hand in combat, but you also want to be able to smash any armour (and it can't have a total armour of more than 33) with the heavy weapons. Also, I think the inclusion of rhinos is just going to draw all the fire on the board!

I'd be interested to hear what you decide on fielding, and how your combat patrol goes.

Cheers,
Harvester
