Would it be better to invest the points in a Berzerker Close Combat unit or would the Possessed do the job as a strong CC hammer unit/ tar pit unit.

**eldartau1987**

2 squads in rhinos as the only armor on your side of the table would make me anxious. I would consider dropping the raptors and maybe the possessed to add more troops choices.

**iGuy91**

As far as the possessed go, the only time I've faced them, they were far more effective than the Berserkers. That being said, they are a little unpredictable given that you roll for special abilities. Depends also, what is the cost difference between a squad of 10 'zerkers and 10 possessed?

**dethy**

I think I am going to replace 1havoc squad with a defiler.
And right now I am also looking at 6 termies with duel lightning claws and mark of slaanesh to replace the possessed.
Also looking at replacing the possessed with 8 zerks champ with pwr weapon.

Due to new faq warptime is no longer worth it

Possessed marines are never worth it, don't listen to people saying "well i used them and ". They are not effective, there are better choices in our dex that do the same thing for less, and wont mess you up with randomness. Read the accounts of the majority of people look up unit Tactica and see the analysis of possessed. There to expensive and too random to be used in a competitive list.

Also good but if your not going to take a power fist on this champ don't take him at all.

Your too low on troops drop possessed, possibly raptors. Get more plague marines or beserkers if your keen on counter support for plague although your DPs are usually fine for that. This will also give you more scoring troops which are essential when 2/3 games rely on capturing things.

Good builds but the points spent here would be better spent on more plague marines.

Defilers+ obliterators or armour would be better here, you really need more Armour as mentioned, two tanks will easy be destroyed.

tho this could work doesn't really fit with the rest of the army.

Would it be better to invest the points in a Berzerker Close Combat unit or would the Possessed do the job as a strong CC hammer unit/ tar pit unit.

Yes Get beserkers there (most of the time) around as good in CC and are scoring troops which you really need. Make sure you get rhinos.

Good luck hope this helps
