had this idea for a themed CSM army, i present the four horsemen!!!!

primary CAD:

Chaos lord, mok, juggernaut, aobf, sigil- 170
Chaos lord, mon, pf/lc, bike, sigil, blight grenades- 170

8 khorne berserkers- icon, pwr weapon- 192
7 plague marines- 2x melta, pwr fist- 213
rhino- dozer- 40
land raider- dozer, dirge- 240

secondary CAD:

Chaos lord- mos, 2x lc, melta bombs, sigil, bike- 160
Chaos sorcerer- mot, lvl3, familiar, sigil, bike- 185

12 noise marines- 8 sonic blasters- 238
9 thousand sons- 242

5 chaos spawn- 150

2k even!

the lords and sorcerer join the unmarked spawn, wreck everything.

the berserkers rush forward to assist, plague marines go to mid field, the noisemarines, and 1ksons walk up laying down the bullets.

all the cult troops are objective secured as well.

ooo!! AND all the troops are in the favored number of their gods!! yay!!!

I like the idea, but the Marked Sorc/Lords cannot join the same unit due to the opposing marks.

That said, the list would be very fun to play as is and you could attached the respective god to each marked choice.

You could remove the spawn and tweak abit to add another detachment with Abaddon + min cultist. Put Abby in the LR with the khorne troops for some extra beefy CC prowess.

I like this a lot , really great list!

Plan fell apart when lords of different marks can not join together.

Whatver, it's not like it's a super competitive list, play it that way if your Opponents a cool dude.

GW stormtroopers aren't going to build a skylight over where you play and then repel through it during your game if you do it.

I regularly just use a Necron Lord as my HQ.

Otherwise yea, you really can't have them join each other .

actually it's debatable

nothing has fell apart.

nothing in the CSM codex prevents this from happening.

the codex says, an IC cannot join a unit with a different Mark of chaos.

the spawn have no Mark, and the marks on the IC do not confer to their unit.

i wasn't asking for rules interpretations, i was asking for opinions on the list.

I'm thinknig a similar list, but every horseman has to ride the daemonic steed of thier god. (ok i'm swapping tzeentch out for a herald, because daemons..)

Jugger lord with spawn, slaaneshi steed outflanking with a blob of infantry, Nurgle palanquin holding together a cultist mob, and tzerald summoning more daemons.

Probably completely ineffectual but should be fun.

what would be the best set up for a 12 man noise marine unit??

i have the least interest and experience with things slaanesh, so
i really have no clue. thanks guys.

I'm thinking, by swapping the Land Raider down to a Rhino, could you pimp out your Lords a bit more? Yeah, I'm talking magic items! From the Crimson Slaughter Book it includes a few pieces of War Gear that you might like, for example giving a 2+ Sv and ITWD (Give to Nurgle), +1 Mastery Level and access to Divination (On Sorcerer), Some Kind of Horns that give you rampage or something (Khorne) and a Weapon that gets more deadly the more kills it gets (Slaanesh). I think these would fit in with your list idea to make each Chaos Lord truly something evil!

i did think of that!!! but then the berserkers are worthless!!! (even more so than with the raider lol) also, hopedully the raider provides a mobile bastion, keeping the horsemen covered. and drawing some fire!

i thought about dropping the noise marines down to 6 and giving them a rhino, but then i only get 1 blast master... and tha
would make me very sad. there's no chaos god for crying!

Why by all that is holy would you take a Power Fist and a Lightning Claw on the same Lord?

Umm because their both specialist weapons, and grant +1 attack. so i can have the best of both without losing anything.

it's actually a pretty common build got chaos lords.
