Ok. I'm getting back to 40k now and I play chaos sm.
I am having trouble remembering all the special moves and boon rolls ans mutation rolls for spawn etc etc...
I was wondering if anyone knows of a flow chart or has a nice reminder checklist to help with this.
If no one does, I will create one VIA this thread with help of the discussion.

The reason for this post is because the new codex seems so sparse and there are special rules located on several pages in the codex without page numbers in the stats or even on the main page for the unit entry.

Pleas help dakka!

Thanks

Mark up the codex with the relevant pages.
The last 3 codex releases all seemed to need it.
Why change now?

You mean something like this?

Yep, printing these out to mark my boons

Those are good for remembering what boon, but I'm trying to remember to roll boon in the first place. Among other things like It Will Not Die and Mutated beyond reason etc etc...

Seems there are SO MANY special rolls for a chaos player these days and I'm not rolling all of them each turn because I cant remember all of it.

So, alas, I was hoping to find some type of blow by blow reminder.

mmm The last codexes all have a summary of all the rules on the last 3 pages. The chaos codex unfolds the reference sheet and there are all the tables you need, warlord traits, boon rolls, spawn tables, possessed tables, etc

something like that but only for chaos space marines

Im answering my own question here. Please feel free to add/subtract fix any bugs and use on your own.

4. Jetbikes 12 inches
End
1. Did I move everyone?
2. Did I move all vehicles to get WS1?
Shooting
Start
1. Do not forget to take precision shots
2. Take the pinning test if required
3. Is it better to shoot Las firs?
4. Any transports I can wreck and then shoot its passengers?
5. Do I need to use my searchlight
6. Do I need to pop smoke?
7. Can I repair my rhinos?
8. Choose obliterator weapons
9. Move from left to right unless trying to break tanks first.
10. Don’t forget psychic powers
11. Is now a good time to pop daemonforge and reroll for the forgefiends?
12. Don’t forget meteoric descent for the heldrake
13. Should I be going to ground or am I fearless and prohibited?
End
1. Did I shoot everybody?
2. Did I shoot all the vehicles weapons?
3. Did anyone who did not shoot run/turboboost?
4. Enemy morale tests at ( +1 to resulting casualties for any icon bearing squads)
Assault

2. If charging from difficult terrain roll 3d6 and pick lowest two
3. Declare challenges. Must issue and accept

5. Roll d3 mutated beyond reason (spawn)

8. Roll for +d6 daemon weapon attacks
9. If charging from difficult terrain it is settled at initiative one
10. Add charge bonus
11. Add pistol or dual wield bonus
12. Determine if monstrous creature will be using smash. If so perform the following:
Halve base attacks
Add bonus attacks (charge/furious charge/daemon weapon)
13. Roll Morale checks all around
End of turn
1. Roll for it will not die

that's a really handy idea. I may cook up something similar for myself as I always forget certain things (gets hot rolls, etc).

a few things that come to mind after reading this:

1. declare all charges before rolling your distance, then resolve overwatch. then you can roll your charge distance.

2. remember your hammer of wrath attacks at the start of combat

3. remember your hatred rerolls for VotLW

4. remember to roll for look out sir before making saves

Great stuff! Thanks for contributing.

This actually came about because I was rolling smash wrong and it resulted in a dead daemon prince by the hand of Mephiston, which really threw the whole game for me.
While writing it I discovered a few items that I have been forgetting.

One I've forgotten a couple of times was to roll psyker powers at beginning of game. I noticed Typhus on the list so I assume you run psykers.

I think since Typhus' powers are in the codex then there is no need for this, right?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
There's some confusion here because typically, typhus does not have LOS on a target to do any psychic attacks. I normally just roll a psychic test and then roll for the power off the Nurgle table. I have no idea if this is correct or not.

All cleaned up. More to follow.
