hey guys, im doing an army called the hounds of loken. they're a loyalist chapter founded by luna wolf loyalist survivors.
anywho, some of them degenerate into chaos spawn due to geneseed flaw, being horus' gene seed, and these "afflicted" are sometime allowed out as suicidal units so that they can earn an honourable death in combat. so, to represent this, im using the chaos space marine codex. here is a list I was thinking of to represent this, it wont win any competitions, but I think it will be fun.

primary detachment.
sorceror
- terminator armour
- mark of tzeench
- extra mastery level
- gift of mutation.
- lightning claw
- lightning claw.

what do you think?

Sounds fun! Definitely no different than BA's lettering disillusioned maniacs or SWs and their were-wolf marines seeking glory in battle haha

Play for fun, right? Haha

20 spawn. brutal.. but um.. you need a hq and troop in your allies?

not sure if it fits your story but nurgle spawn are sooo much better.

Are you sure, that doesn't sound right.
My normal opponent has a tone of AP4-3 so I need the invulns.

You definitely need 1 HQ and 1 Troop with your allies for this list to be legal.

Toughness bonus on the Spawn is better than 6++ save for sure. And yes you -always- require one HQ one Troop in an ally. And if that sounds wrong. Well. For 100% proof positive...read the rulebook.

Damn it. Well, no allies for me :(
Oh well, I suppose I can fill the gap in points with some pimpin' to the chaos space marine squads
