Evening Dakka,

I'm going to be taking part in my first tourny on 3rd December and we are running 750 point 40 minute games. To my knowledge i'll be up against at least 3/4 players using Space Wolfs, two nid players, perhaps some guard players and maybe a Blood Angel army.

I've had a nose around Dakka at some other 750 lists and while i would like to try and keep things different from most lists out there, i'll prob go with the norm so Lash DP it is!

Daemon Prince (155pts)
Lash of Submission
Mark of Slaanesh
Wings

Chaos Space Marines (145pts)
Chaos Rhino
7x Chaos Space Marine
Flamer

Chaos Space Marines (150pts)
Chaos Rhino
7x Chaos Space Marine
Meltagun

Obliterator x2 (150pts)

Obliterator x2 (150pts)

That's 750points on the nose.

My concerns are having only two 7 man squads will leave me with very little for objective games, but 4 oblits will lay down alot of fire. Issues i can see is if walkers and MC's get up close to my troops to cause issues.


I've also come up with slight variation to this list, take away the flamer and add a plasma gun, and drop the oblits in favour of two possesed Vindicators. I won't have the versitility of the oblits, but two Str10 pie plates in a 750 game will be quite scary, however lots of things will take delight in trying to kill them, and if they do have a weapon destroyed result against them then i'll be buggered!

The third variation i've got is below, i love zerkers so i tried squeezing a squad in by dropping one obliterator, but i gain a stong h2h squad and a PF.

Daemon Prince (155pts)
Lash of Submission
Mark of Slaanesh
Wings

Chaos Space Marines (150pts)
Chaos Rhino
7x Chaos Space Marine
Meltagun

Khorne Berzerkers (222pts)
7x Berzerkers
Chaos Rhino
Skull Champion Power Fist

Obliterator (75pts)

Obliterator (75pts)

Obliterator (75pts)

This list is 752pts so 2 points over, so not sure if it will be legal or not.

If you're trying to run a tournament list, your Troops really ought to be Plague Marines. T5 3+ FNP is virtually unkillable at this points level, and they're about as expensive as the Berzerkers in the second variation.

I did think about plagues after i posted this. I'm guessing (don't have codex to hand as i'm at work) a 5/6 man squad with 2x melta? Use them to camp an objective while hiding in the rhino.

If you can, aim 4 plasma x2. I don't think you'll see something at this point level that plasma can't kill.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've found out i can't really go over 750, even by a few points. So i can fit 6 plagues in, but not 7, so i was wondering if adding a havoc launcher to one of the rhinos would be an option. New list below:

Daemon Prince (155pts)
Lash of Submission
Mark of Slaanesh
Wings

Chaos Space Marines (150pts)
Chaos Rhino
7x Chaos Space Marine
Meltagun

Plague Marines (218pts)
2x Plasma
Rhino with Havoc Launcher

Obliterator (75pts)

Obliterator (75pts)

Obliterator (75pts)

That's 748 points.

Hmmm... its almost there I think.

One change I would be would drop the melta gun for a flamer and an IoCG. I assume those CSM will assault an obj, if so it (the objective and the enemy troops holding it) will probley be in cover and flamer will work better there. The icon is there since you have only have 2 troops, you dont want one of them breaking on a bad morale roll. Another reason for taking out the melta is that you have 3 oblits, which should be more than enough to deal with any vehicles. If push comes to shove, deepstrike one of the blitz near a tank by using the icon and then use either the MM or twin linked melta gun depending on the range.

Everything else looks good, good luck with the tourny

I was going to post my list up here for help but now i dont think i will (guess who haha)

Ahh completely forgot about an icon for the moral checks and the ability to DS onto it as well, great idea thanks! I'll hopefully play test this list against Munkeey here before the tourny so i can get used to playing it.

Thanks mate, first go at one so i'll probably be used to wipe the floor with but i'll have fun playing regardless!

So going on the admendments i've now got the following:

Daemon Prince (155pts)
Lash of Submission
Mark of Slaanesh
Wings

Chaos Space Marines (150pts)
Chaos Rhino with Combi-Melta
7x Chaos Space Marine
IoCG
Flamer

x6 Plague Marines (218pts)
2x Plasma
Rhino

Obliterator (75pts)

Obliterator (75pts)

Obliterator (75pts)

That's 748

I've added a combi-melta to the CSM squad as they will be assulting, the one shot melta could come in handy. Plagues camp at the back objective. DP does his thing and lash things towards, away as needed and the oblits just blow anything they see up!
