Hello everyone. I am getting back into 40k after a 6 or 7 year hiatus. I used to play Eldar and Grey Knights (when they were called Daemonhunters and lost every match.) I have decided to give the armies of Chaos a try and really dig the KDK and Traitor Legions books. I put together this list as I wanted a nice assault army but also wanted to get to use some Death Guard.

++ Blood host Detachment ++

+ Slaughter Cult +

Chaos Lord (Warlord): Goredrinker, Sigil of Corruption, Juggernaut - 175 points
Bloodletters (8): Instrument of Chaos, Banner of Blood - 115 points

Chaos Terminators (3): 3x Combi-Melta - 119 points
Bloodcrushers (3) - 135 points
Bloodcrushers (3) - 135 points

+ War Engine (3) +

Soul Grinder - 135 points


++ Death Guard CAD ++

+ HQ +

Chaos Lord: Power Fist, Plasma Pistol, Sigil of Corruption - 145 points

+ Troops +

Chaos Space Marines (5): 1x Plasma Gun, Rhino w/Dirge Caster - 130 points

+ Heavy Support +

Havocs (5): 4x Autocannons - 115 points

Points: 1849

The idea is for the Jugger Lord to charge to the front ASAP attached to one of the bloodcrusher units with bloodletters in tow, maybe Deepstrike a few units with the help of the instrument and banner on the bloodletters. The nurgle havocs would hold any backfield objectives and the chaos marines would go midfield in their rhinos. I've been out of the game for a long while and am new to chaos, so be as critical as you want. The only things I am absolutely attached to are the Jugger Lord and at least one unit of Nurgle Autocannon Havocs. Thanks.

Hello,
I see a couple of problems with the list ..
slaugther Cult have possessed, you do not have possessed so make it into a CAD

Recommend that you do the Lord more durable as he is a pretty big target, so to speak, and you let him run with the spawns or dogs .. the reason is that these flerwounds and cost less in the points,

and you get into terminators with chainfist and combimeltas ..

otherwise you have gore pack as an allternativ ..

in this composition, I wonder a bit how you intended to use the soul grinder?



somehow, I wonder if you can see over the death guards and perhaps change them to a son of angron formation.est to get 2D6 once at the beginning and possibly other fun things ..
