Subject: CSM Kill Team viability

Thunderhawk Pilot Dropping From Orbit

I've been reading some of the discussions about the Chaos Space Marines here, and it seems that Chaos' Astartes Champions aren't really doing so well. Between murderous Wraithknights, Decurions and Space Marine shenanigans, the forces of Chaos just don't seem to catch a break these days unless they pack their armies with Forgeworld superheavies.
Now I was wondering if this was also the case in Kill Team, the smaller version of regular 40k. Granted, you can't bring most of the heavy hitters, but hey, neither can the enemy, right? Or are the CSM equally boned when fighting smaller matches?

Point for point, CSM are vastly more inefficient than C:SM units at every level. And Eldar can still spam scatterbikes.
So no, not really.

H.B.M.C.- The end hath come! From now on armies will only consist of Astorath, Land Speeder Storms and Soul Grinders!

Ruin- It's official, we've ran out of things to talk about on Dakka. Close the site. We're done.

Well, let's say we keep all options open; how much better/worse do the CSM do in HoR and OnePage 40k?

OnePage is, I hear, very balanced. I've not tried the Kill Team verson myself, but it is fairly generic in terms of naming weapons and rules. It requires fluff knowledge to work. However, it is a short and concise ruleset with no contradictions, works under strict RAW, and is fairly streamlined.

I played HoR CSM against my friend. Possessed units only. Practically steam rolled him.
