First, the well-rounded list:

Lord with Mark of Nurgle, Powerfist, Lightning Claw, Bike, Sigil of Corruption, Blight Grenades: 170

Lord with Mark of Khorne, Juggernaut, Axe of Blind Fury, Sigil of Corruption and Meltabombs: 175

Troops:

10 Cultists: 50
10 Cultists: 50

Fast Attack:

5 Spawn with Mark of Nurgle: 180
5 Spawn: 150
3 Spawn with Mark of Nurgle: 108

Heavy Support:

5 Havocs w/ 4 Autocannons: 115



Second list is way heavier on the Rush with 3 HQs but no ranged firepower to speak of.

Crimson Slaughter CAD

HQ

Sorcerer, ML3, Spell Familiar, Sigil, Melta Bombs, riding a Bike: 175

Lord with Power Fist and Lightning Claw, Sigil, Mark of Nurgle, and Blight Grenades riding a Bike: 175

Troops

10 Cultists: 50

10 Cultists: 50

Fast Attack

5 Chaos Spawn: 150 ## Juggerlord (below) goes in this unit

5 Chaos Spawn w/ Mark of Nurgle: 180 ## Sorcerer AND Lord both go in this unit


Allied Chaos Space Marines detachment

Lord on Juggernaut w/ Mark of Khorne, Sigil, and Axe of Blind Fury: 170

10 Cultists: 50



Which do you prefer? Why?

I guess the first one. Suitably bloosthirsty but has some actual guns.

I find the crimson slaughter can provide better relics, although I do love the axe.

The CS relics are great, but they do bloat an HQ a bit for a 1000 pt game. A tooled up CS Lord, MoN on a bike usually comes out to ~210 vs. 170 for the regular guys.

Thanks for the input!

Don't post the costs of upgrades! While its not needed, you can post the total cost of each squad if you want to for some reason.

Expect a visit from a mod or even for the thread to be shut down if you don't remove the point costs!

I'd go for list 1, but drop the squad of 3 spawn, they won't do much of anything. Take a helbrute or something in their place, something with anti armor that is cheap.

Got it - sorry about that, it was a copy-paste from the list I'd written for the TO. Costs removed.


I've got a Helbrute I could bring, but I think you might be underestimating the utility of 3 MoN spawn. It's 9 T6 wounds that can run from objective to objective. Helbrutes, IME, are pretty awful if you don't bring them as part of the Mayhem Pack.

I could always drop the Spawn and a squad of Chosen and take 5 dudes in a Rhino with a Meltagun and a Powerfist, or something like that. Not sure that I'm gaining much by that over the spawn though...

You could drop the 3 spawn and blight granades and take 5 more havocs with 4 autocannons. 8 bs4 autocannons are not to be sniffed at at 1000pts.
