This is a fork of Stelek's "Dubious Blood Angel" post, wherein a I asked if the template of that list (masses of cheap assault squads in rhinos) could work as a template for hth chaos.

This is my initial thought:

Stelek, with your Marine equivalencies for Oblits and DP and extending to a GD, I have 80+ marines running across the table (for those who don't know, Stelek reasons a DP and 2 man oblit squad are both worth ten marines). Every marine squad has a champ and icon so anyone can drop the Greater Demon.

with spare points I was thinking of trying to fit in a squad of lesser ds or squeeze some extra weapons out. I think the concept might get a little more lfeshed out with more points, but I try to keep my builds at 1500 since that's mostly what we're playing.

I made a similar list that I'll be trying out this weekend. It uses plague marines with meltaguns as the troops in rhinos, two vindicators as heavy support, and two winged princes with warptime. We'll see how it does...I do like the idea of my plague marines likely not dying even if their rhino blows up due to FNP.

I would think that at the least those marines need some melta.

Well that's not exactly what I meant...I meant for points costs, you get 10 marines for your typical DP or 2 oblits.

I don't think GD are worth taking atm since they cannot fly. Putting all those AC in just to summon one...is in my honest opinion, a waste. It's alot of points sunk into the GD.

So, I only see 30 troops running across the tabletop. This is not enough. I'll give you a example of what I think would be good on the tabletop.
