Just a fun list i whipped up for an upcoming friendly battle against Dark Eldar let me know what you think and if you think my tactics will work.


Vanguard Detachment 994pts
HQ
Chaos Lord
Axe Of Blind Furry, Combi Melta

Troops
15x Cultists with CCW

Elites
5x Terminators 4x Combi Bolters 3x Chainfists 2x Powerfists and a Reaper Autocannon
5x Chosen with 5x Power Axes and Bolt Pistols
5x Chosen with 5x Power Axes and Bolt Pistols

Heavy Support
1x Land Raider with a Combi Bolter

So the idea is have both of the Chosen squads be embarked on the Land Raider and taken into combat as fast as possible hack and slash apart Tacticle squads terminators and the likes while the Terminators deepstrike and cause discord in the back the Lord and the Cultiststs will all go for softer units. So let me know what you think.

I would suggest replacing the two chosen squads with 2 squads of bezerkers. They have same durability but are +1S and can fight twice. Would also let you take a battalion for a couple more command points. The bezerkers would be slightly cheaper so you could a few more cultist's

Ban the man? Is that you, from Brikwars?

I see your point i may have to do that.

It is indeed! I didnt know you were on Dakka haha

+1 to swapping out chosen for beserkers, but also i would say if you have the points or models maybe switch the lord for a dark apostle or exalted champ to ride with the zerkers.
The way i would do it is switch to 2 lots of 10 cultists and take i squad of 8 or 9 zerks depending on points and take the champ/apostle for the rerolls
Might not be the best at 1000 points but i find the zerker/exalted combo to be pretty killer, even more so if you take both to reroll hits and wounds
