So I have recently noticed I have a KHRAP TON of chaos terminators and deathwing conversion into chaos termis. My main army is Death Gaurd and they have been known to have all terminator armies before so I was thinking of making a side army/project maybe to use as allies of a Chaos Death Gaurd all terminator army.

The only problems is what codex or army rules would I have to use to be able to do this? Chaos temrinators are always elites so unless theirs some wierd data sheet codex: chaos space marines is out. Could I use the Deathwing rules (in codex dark angels) but just say they are their chaos counterpart Death Guard?

Or is there some other codex army rule set that I am not thinking of where you can do all terminators and it would make some sense?

(Obviously modeling and painting them up as Death Guard, ie clearly chaos in looks, symbols, colors, and corruption)

You can just go Unbound which is basically "take what you like".

If you really want a detachment you can go for Dark Angel Deathwing or Space Wolves Company of the Great Wolf from Champions of Fenris.

Or taking all Terminators from the 1st Company Taskforce in the SM book - use the Iron Hands trait for that extra durability on those Termies, and you're good to go!

Ehhh, I'd rather not go completely unbound, I want to use this list in friendly semi-competitive games, and if the list works maybe tournaments or leagues.

Yeah I was thinking Deathwing, I think I said the wrong one in the original post. Space wolves can go all termi too? Cool.

Ah, I kinda like this idea. I will look over all 3 to see which fits Death Guard best. You guys think people would be okay using those rules with chaos models and fluff?

I mean obviously I will give them the right equipment.

The Purge detachment from the IA:Vraks book. No fast attack slots, but 8 troops and 6 elites, required slots are 1 HQ and 2 elites. Can only take Nurgle marks, but that suits you just fine.

Loving the Vraks idea, I didn't realize that wasn't limited to Renegades. Excellent idea!

I've played a 2+ heavy CSM CAD by taking 3x5 Terminators, 2x3 Obliterators backed up by Typhus and a generic Lord in Terminator Armour, plus 2x20 Zombies and a unit of havocs with a defense line and vox relay.
The idea being to field havocs plus zomies and have everything else DS agressively.

Oh yeah that seems perfect! Which one? I have imperial armour 7 which is vraks park three but I am pretty sure its not in there. Is it in 1 or 2? Or a later one?

All 3 of the books have been replaced by Imperial Armour: Siege of Vraks 2ed.

The purge is your best bet. There is also a black legion formation which is just a unit of terminators and a sorcerer/Lord.

Yeah I will be looking at both. Thanks guys

This isn't really quite what this board is for.

Your other thread in 40k tactics is fine
