For me this is the first time in a long time (in fact possibly since 5th) i've played chaos marines.

I will be using forge worlds The 'Purge' CAD from the new IA5 which allows nurgle and none marked renegade and chaos marines in the same CAD, which require two elites and a hq as mandatory and has 4 heavy support slots (which makes me very happy). There's some other benefits to the list, but i don't currently want to test them. I'm using this to test my artillery train idea and to see how well a siege army does.

I think it's got some pretty gnarly bite to it, plenty of fire power and makes great use of FW's lists.

Holy smokes thats a lot to fight at 1850. 80x Zombies, most can handle, but 3x rapiers supporting a Typhon + 2 vini is rough. Good anti air coverage. One of the better more well rounded lists ive seen on Dakka recently.

One issue would be in the easy warlord bit. Seems unprotected. Heldrakes would wreck this list

I counted 4 hvy support slots.

The wording on this isn't clear in the book, but when FW has been mailed about this, they've answered that you are not permitted to use both Renegade and CSM units in the same detachment. You pick one faction and must take all your units from there.

If by Quad Launcher you mean the Field Artillery Heavy Quad Launcher 'Thudd Gun', they are also non-compulsory troops through Ordnance Tyrant, not Elites, and I don't see how you get those points to match, unless you've added Militia Training and other upgrades into the price cost that's not mentioned in your list.

Yeah i've noticed the wording was fiddly, and yeah i didn't add the crew in for the field artillery pieces. Woops on that one.... so i've changed it up a little.

List two; this time fully legal without me herp-derping on a simple text piece. Switching to two standard CAD's means i've lost the dangerous terrain benefit but i given the number of guns i'll live. perhaps in the next list i'll try and fix that with some elite choices.

With the jiggle its all now legal, it also gives me five obsec units and adds a sorc in the mix for a little potential buff.
