I play regularly against my brother who fields a Chaos army led by Kharn with a squad of heretics. I have absolutely no way to bring him down, he tears through my terminator in 1-2 assault phases. I need some tips on what to field in order to stop it.

Well a few things. I'm assuming by heritics you mean cultists. And kharn is kinda a badass but has some weaknesses. He only has a 3+ armor and I don't remember if he has a 5++ or 4++. In any case you need to single him out and beat him or just shoot his unit to pieces before it gets to you.

Nemesis dreadknights would do the trick it think or maybe just a really good unit of palidans with feel no pain and all halberds. Gattling pyslencers are pretty good at dealing with a unit like that and even your standar storm Bolter will put a hurting on them in you can try to kite his unit.

You can out invulnerable him with sanctic powers and chalanges. He has to challenge or accept challenges so no problem there. The cultists will break as soon as they loose combat which should be the first round. Hammerhand may also be of great benifit, force is another thing to remember. You want to kill him quick, a force weapon that charged or anything strength 8 here will do the trick.

I would agree that your best bet is a NDK, I would also look heavily into psylencers or psycannons in a 10 man combat squadded purifier squad. all of those shots plus cleansing flame would be good at piling the wounds on. you could also do paladins with a banner, apothecary, 2 psycannons or psilencers, and falchions. in a normal 5 man paladin squad that would be 380 points. That is 20 ap3 attacks on the charge at initiative, any one of which can kill Karhn if you activate the force ability. If you added Draigo in that squad you would get an additional 6 attacks, and since Kharn has to challenge, and his ax swings last, Draigo would easily eat him and carry over some wounds into the squad of berserkers.

Is this a joke like the unbeatable Thousand Sons army?
