Hi!

I´m starting a chaos army by the third time, i hope this one is the good one.

I´m planning to raise an army in few months so, this is what i thought:

Chaos space marines
Terminators
Chaos space marine patrol
Spawns.

With that i think i can have a pretty decent army, this is the army:

HQ
Dark Apostle

TROOPS
5 Chaos space marines with boltpistol and chainsword. Power fist
5 Chaos space marines with bolt pistol and chainsword. Power fist
10 Chaos space marines with boltgun, icon and reaperchaincannon. Balefire tome

ELITES
5 terminators. 2 combi-melta, 3 powerfist, reaper autocannon

FAST ATTACK
Spawn
Spawn

HEAVY SUPPORT
5 havocs with flamer, 2 missile launchers and 2 lascannons

And with one character and the helbrute i can update it to 1250 points.

Any thoughts?

Why not use noise marines if youre EC? And I would bring a Rhino or something to get those chainsword dudes up the board without getting blasted turn 1.

Does the Noise marines worth it? They are expensive in points(die as easyly as an legionarie)and there is not an updated box for them. If there is a new box probably i will use them.

But the idea is to raise an army fast and as cheap as possible.

I don't know what can i change to use a Rhino.

Another option for the list is to change the 2 units with chainsword for 1 of ten with the tome (instead of the bolter squad) take out a spawn and add a cultist mob.

The 10 man squad with chainsword with the dark apostle with 1-3 ignore wounds and the 5+ feel no pain from the psychic power. Or to advance and charge power. This way the squad will be more durable.

And will be a good skeleton for future lists

There’s some great STL files for 3D printing noise marines for cheap. their blasters do great damage at 12” or less. They get +1 damage. the updated blast masters are pretty strong as well. Just seems a crime to do EC with no noise marines.

I see your point, but for starting i will go with the basics and when the army growht i will check for a unit of noise marines.

One thinking that comes to my mind.....will GW make a EC codex with new miniatures and will be obsolete all the standard from CSM?

I saw them yesterday, and the Chaos lord for EC from FW is awesome! So maybe i pick them in the future, but for now some termies and the patrol box for starting.

Actually expecting the new contrast purple to start painting the legionaries. I think I`m going into the pre-heresy paint scheme.
