Hi all, both 40k and dakkadakka are new to me, after much thought I had to go CSM khorne, heard its a difficult army to play and get a good balance but I've proxxied two games, one against tau, and one against tyranids, lost both lol, but expected, but I learnt a lot, and have compiled an army list that a believe should be fun, competitive enough to win the odd game but maintaining the fluff. If I'm wayyyyy of the mark, remember this is all new to me, sooooo please forgive in advance, would love lots off feedback and opinions.

***2 Obliterators*** (140 points)

***2 Obliterators*** (140 points)

Total 1850 on the button (that's why a cultist champ just has his pistol, every penny counts)

Reasons for my selection---

1, It appears that Kharn and Khorne juggerlord are a must, and seem fun when used right, nothing more to be said there.

2, Berzerkers, my choice over CSM, read lots of debates, my decision is made.

3, Helcult, I originally tried making a list to fit 70 cultists, but just wasn't enough points, this will split opinions, but, yes they die easy BUTTTTTTT, their a scoring unit, they are fearless, gain zealot, imagine, 50 cultists going to ground near an objective, or, marching forward foring 50 shots, 100 shots if within 12 inches (of models alive), or tying up a dangerous model or just attracting most the fire power for couple rounds, remember that's 53 fearless wounds, plus 5 heavy stubbers for good measure.

4.I learnt getting kharn to combat with his berzerkers in good order is a must, that's why he and the zerkers get the landraider, and the 10 get the rhino, just for good measure.

5. I found bikers accompanying the juggerlord does well, I know some use spawn, but couple melta guns can cause bita damage.

6. Obliterators, I don't think they get the credit they deserve, they shoot, they fight, they do all this well and give good versatility, two unites of two, if the enemy don't target them, the helcult can get away with soooo much, and if the helcult gets targeted, then the enemy should expect a lot of heavy fire.

I think with the oblits and helcult the enemy will confuse what to hit as both can be very effective and dangerous, hopefully then taking away any serious fire power and attacks away from the bikers juggerlord and 2 units of berzerkers.

Remember, this is all new to me, so please, constructive criticism, good and bad points please.

Welcome to Dakka you heretic..

you should post the list up in the army list sub forums for more advise and perhaps check out the tacticas in the tactics forums

good luck and burn!

spent ages trying to figure out how to do a post lol, this was the only one I could manage, I'll try again thank you

Welcome aboard!

Blood for the Blood god and whatnot!

Nice list by the way

cheers, nothing silly standing out then ya reckon

Not at all, I think it's a pretty solid list and fairly impressive for someone so new. It took me a good while to work out a fun and varied list like this that will hold up against pretty much anyone you play.

There will obviously always be those who powergame etc who might give this list a hard time but no more than anyone else gets

Kudos!

cheers again Rysaer, lol, you probably realised its the same post, I posted it in one area and was advised to post it in another haha, but cheers again

Yeah I did notice, but it's always nice to welcome a new member
