I just bought my first box of plague marines, but I haven't been able to decide how to assemble them. I'll definitely have 2 with plasma guns, but for the other five, should I use their poison ccw, or boltguns. With their 3 initiative, I'm not sure.... Chaos Space Marines are new to me. What's a good way to field my first unit? I don't want to magnetize, and I like to play wysiwyg.

Their wargear has bolters, bolt pistols and plague swords, so it wouldn't really matter how you assemble them, but i built mine with their bolter in one arm, outstreched as if they were firing, and their plague sword in their other hand as if they were about to strike or just at ease

Kind of like this

Hope this helps

So you don't have to assign one or the other? I didn't realize they could have all 3 on them. I'm new to csm. I play orks, and they either have sluggas or shootas; I figured it was the same with csm.
