Having a fair-sized collection of CSM models, I am beginning to wonder if FW would offer me something interested for my Chaos forces. Does someone have experience with them and which is good and bad ?

I personally love Blight Drones simply because they're much less of a haphazard than Heldrakes and easier to zip around while being able to actually hit something.

Fire Raptors are gold. Just do the Autocannon upgrade. Awesome.

Plague Hulks are okay. They're kinda like an easier to bring Soul Grinder because you don't need allies.

The Sicaran is still a solid tank, but it is more unfavorable now due to less Skimmers around, but it definitely puts up a fight regardless. It might be the safest buy overall along with the Raptor.

You might have to search through eBay or 3rd parties since it's out of stock from forgeworld ATM, but Dreadclaws are just as good as their drop pod brethren. Don't be fooled by its fireblast rule, drop it wherever is safest then turbo boost it to a better location. With jink saves and the ability to fly around the board its even more annoying than what loyalists get.

I can't remember his name but there's a cheap forgeworld nurgle character with the same zombie rule as Typhus in case you just want plague zombies without a big expensive terminator tax.

Blood slaughterers are pretty decent too, especially if you give them their harpoon attack that lets them essentially assault out of deepstrike.

Necrosius.
