I am in the process of rebuilding my Chaos Marines and just love the Red Corsairs. Using some IA13 here is what I have come up with as a 2k point list. C&C is most welcome.

HQ 160
Huron Blackheart 160

Troops 660
Chaos Marines x5 with Melta, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 132
Chaos Marines x5 with Melta, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 132
Chaos Marines x5 with Melta, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 132
Chaos Marines x5 with Melta, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 132
Chaos Marines x5 with Melta, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 132

Elites 571
Chosen x5 with Plasma x4, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 197
Chosen x5 with Melta x4, Combi-Melta, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 187
Chosen x5 with Melta x4, Combi-Melta, Rhino with Havoc Launcher 187

Fast Attack 345
Hellblade with Helstorm Autocannons 115
Hellblade with Helstorm Autocannons 115
Hellblade with Helstorm Autocannons 115

Heavy Support 260
Chaos Vindicator with Siege Shield 130
Chaos Vindicator with Siege Shield 130

The idea here is to take advantage of the fact that vehicles are harder to one-shot kill in this edition. Havoc launchers are there to clear out hordes as needed, obviously using the Troops ones for ObjSec and the Elites for specific vehicle killing. Huron goes with the Plasma vets, the Vindicators are there to pop buildings, AV 14+, and large groups. Ideally I am looking at infiltrating the Chosen groups with Huron's warlord trait.

Naturally the Hellblades are good for anti-air and anti-vehicle with the 6 S7 AP4 Rending shots they each put out.

Wow! Looks super competitive! And fluffy! A very well made list..

I just have this advice to offer: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/607867.page

I... actually don't know. Help?

It might just be me, but are all of your Rhino's just half full?

Yes they are, is that a problem? I don't feel it is.

You got it. With both the troop and dedicated transport having ObjSec I have 10 of these units. Toss in 8 Havoc launchers firing at the little guys, the melta(s) inside shooting at a vehicle or MC I think I have things decently taken care of.

Well, it is kind of a waste of points. If you'd put everyone in 10-man squads, you'd fill up half the Rhinos, giving you more points for, say, Bikers.

Conversely you'd lose the Rhino's and the flexibility having so many small units offers.

Nice list OP

Just my 2 cents
