Subject: [1000] - Crimson Slaughter CSM - Epic Helcult! Too many cultists
|
|
Khorne Veteran Marine with Chain-Axe
|
HQ - Chaos Lord, PSword, SoC
Troops - 10 Cultists
10 Cultists
Elite - Helbrute, MLauncher, TL-Las
Helbrute, MLauncher, TL-Las
Formation - Helcult
Helbrute, MLauncher, TL-Las
35 Cultists, 29 autoguns, 3 flamers
35 Cultists, 31 autoguns, 3 heavy stubbers
Lord goes with the flamer cultists, everything spreads out and tries to claim objectives. Helbrutes try use what cover (or cultists) can be had to survive while being my AT. The theoretical tournament this would be for will be playing Maelstrom missions, and makes flyers a non-concern for this points level so no worries about AA or Heldrakes.
Anyone think this list stands a chance in all the hells?
Cheers for your time!

Sure, but you are "Unbound" right now...I'd put a second Cult unit into the CAD, and be "Battle forged"  I don't play Chaos, but it looks like a good "surprise" list for 1000 to me.

Yeah this could work just fine! You have tons of very point efficient units who have two weaknesses:
1) Flyers, which as you said are no worry at this level
2) Armor, which you have 3 very capable helbrutes to take care of, and each helbrute will be looking at a 3+ or 4+ cover save from either the helcult or from ruins.

Unbound? Pretty sure having my 2 troop units and 1 HQ makes me battle forged already, obviously not including the Helcult itself.
Yeah I'm hoping at 1000pts people just won't have the guns required to take out this many cultists, especially with so many of them fearless.
Thanks for the votes of confidence!
Only thought with this was originally I had it regular CSM detachment, with the Chaos Lord running the Burning Brand and a Chainaxe instead sword and sigil. Thoughts on different load-outs for his Lordship?

Oh, for a cheap lord? Gotta take the BBoS! Such a great artifact for low point games especially! Take it for sure.

BBoS is dead killy, no arguments.
Issue is is it better than universal Fear, AND securing a better chance of getting my cultist blob into CC?
And on that subject, is it worth having auto guns on a squad I'd aim to push upfield?
