At the behest of one of my friends who wants me to continue playing Chaos despite me really not enjoying it, here's a 1500 army list.

The Black Mace

I was greatly disappointed with CSM new codex. If you dont want to play CSM anymore, you should still wait to check out Chaos demon codex and then decide to sell the army or keep it.

In regards to the CSM squads, I would split them to carry more special weapons or give 20 CSM MoN.

IMHO, missiles glance AV14 on a 6 and cannot penetrate it so good luck and happy hunting AV13. Otherwise I would buy the flakk upgrade to shoot flyers.

Hey man. Yeah I'm definitely getting that feeling, but it's like then I'm paying $50 for another book so I can use the first and all that jazz, though I'll get off my soapbox.

Haha yeah basically it seems like much of the codex comes down to "give it MoN". I used to play a lot of Khorne but he got nerfed haaard by the new codex which is why I'm pretty disappointed to be honest! So yeah, we'll see. Also my meta doesn't include a lot of fliers (thankfully) so I should be fine there. But thank you!

In the meantime, instead of making more threads I'm just going to post other list ideas here:
