I was just thinking about this rule and had a concern. Say I have a chaos marine with a bolt pistol and a chainsword thats 2 attacks. Say they're charging, thats 3 attacks. Now does the mark of Khorne give one extra attack as well. I know it's a basic question but I don't remeber and don't have my codex right now. Any way if it does give another attack, that's 4 attacks, Isn't that a little much?! It seems like i'm misenterpreting something, four attacks in one turn for a troop choice dosn't seem right.

It's not really that excessive for close combat-oriented troops. Ork Slugga Boyz also have 4 attacks on the charge.

Four Attacks on the charge is not unusual; most armies' dedicated CC troops have either three or four.

Khorne berserkers have 4 on the charge, which you are essentially making baby khorne berserkers by giving marines a mark of khorne.

Necron scarabs are 5 attacks on the charge as well, its not an uncommon thing!

EDIT: why did it double post this? o well, whateva.

Even Imperial Guard Infantry Squad sergeants have 4 attacks on the charge.

Razorwing flocks manage 6 on the charge!

Firewarriors have 2 attacks on the charge and they're the best things in CC. There's no way Khorne chaos marines are getting more attacks than they do.

I saw a unit of Fire Warriors beat a 10 strong Wych squad the other day, the Tau player was making armour saves like a boss.

I never really paid attention to how many attacks other armies had, thanks for the help!

Khrone lords with a demon weapon on a juggernaut can manage 18 attacks on the charge, highest amount from a single unit in the game. Most everything else that's extra CC focused has 3-5 attacks on the charge, barring special named HQ's

Fixed that for you with the orange.

You knew what I meant! Durr language.

Not entirely true - a blender dread can end up with over 50 attacks (full blob squad)

ROFL at the firewarrior comment. Clearly, nothing has or ever will kill them in close
