defiler(1) reaper auto cannon and heavy flamer 150 pts


so that is my army as of now i feel like i need to beef it up and i want some feedback thanks.

Drop the Dread, it is usless.
If you can, get Bersekers in a raider, plauges in a rhino, tactial marines in a rhino,mabye noise marines too.
If you are set on one defiler, get another. One deflier is a target, two is a situatuion, three is a stratgey.

nice thanks fahey yea i shall try to get more stuff

another defiler would be nice and very helpful

It is nick buy the way if you hadn't noticed

Drop the Dread, stick with one HQ until you're in the 1750-2000pt range, and get more Troops. Chaos doesn't really have any bad Troops choices, just avoid the temptation to take sonic blasters on Noise Marines (properly, they exist to tote a Blastmaster around). More Defilers are always useful, yes.

what troop choice should i go with? I think that the khorne berserkers are great but the thousand sons have ap 3 shots so which one? Im also going to be getting some rhinos.

Generally accepted that Thousand Sons are too expensive for what they do because you pay for a sorcerer and power...
Deamon Weapon counts as a two handed weapon, so your lord cannot take a deamon weapon and combi-weapon
I recommend Berzerks aswell or more plagues or some non-sonic noise marines

Give the CSM squad an aspiring champion and power fist and check your points: your CSM atm =/= 165 (with 150 points + 20 ML + 5 flamer = 175 points) You also need Icon of Chaos Glory...

Don't mix special weapons if you can avoid it - plague marines work best with 2 plasma rifles and a plasma pistol
Chaos Space Marines don't get storm bolters so the dread cannot have one

Erm, add to it: some heavy stuff...
Either a vindicator or obliterators or a predator
I like Chaos Space Marine Havocs for my armoured foot horde - they last longer against anti-tanks weapons

I know since you converted the models from SM that they may not be changeable but terminators get free power weapons that don't hit on int 1
Deamon Prince gets to take a psychic power and wings which is useful
Give every unit an Icon that can take one

Chosen may also be helpful because they can infiltrate five special weapons - a horde vs. 5 flamer templates or an imperial guard parking lot vs. 5 meltas
Please check all of your units' points costs because alot of them don't add up to what is written as being included... e.g. your plague marine load-out is only 181 points

Final point, others may disagree but you don't really have much anti-tank...

The only real good "heavy" slot choice is obliterators....everything else is pretty much a waste of time TBH....My Vindicators and Defilers are somewhere at the bottom of my model boxes....unloved and unsused lol

Thanks for the advice i will look at points again

Until we get a shiny new codex my man I wouldnt waste my money on anything but obliterators if you are trying to fill those heavy slots.
