I'm an old Chaos player from the olden times in the long, long ago.

But when I brought out my old army list, complete with Marks of Chaos Undivided, a metal Bloodthirster than can literally kill people, and an entire HQ of ten nuking Sorcerers and their Lord, it was brought to my attention that this army is now defunct.

I set about making a new army, but apparently Chaos Space Marines are a different faction from Chaos Daemons.

This presents a problem because the restrictions on the league limit to me to a SINGLE HQ capping out at 100 points, meaning no allies are possible.

I'm stuck with a simple Chaos Lord or Sorcerer as my picks (prefer the Sorcerer) and got the brilliant idea to ask for assistance in completing the army.

I've been authorized and encouraged to bring a Heldrake so he'll have to do in place of old BT. I would love it if you can help me come up with a suitable list of CSMs beyond this.


Available Chaos Space Marines: ALL. No Limits, I can buy whatever I need.

Well, what type of army do you want to play? The 6th ed CSM codex has lots of options. Pick a god or a play style, and I can help more.

Let's go with Tzeentch and his Thousand Sons. They're the ones I have the most of and though I can't field an Ahriman with the point limit, I'm going to need that invulnerability save due to lack of field terrain in this league. Play style is elite units that can survive the shots thrown out by the enemy and win through attrition or armor penetration. I'm looking at Tau forces with suits and missile launchers so I'd like a primarily infantry regiment as I can see tanks not being useful with the limited space.

+Thousands Sons
+Heldrake
+Lightning Assaults

Lolz! No MoT at all.

i know rofl, its no good to me!

The title was asking for a 1500 pt army, but I can see Heldrakes and Oblits being useful.

Everything csm boils down to just how many drakes n oblitz can you take.
