				<title>500 pts Chaos Space Marines</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ The store where I'm starting up to play has a lot of new players. We've all been kicking around the idea of painting and building our larger armies in blocks of 500 and we're interested in playing 500 pts games. I'm playing Chaos Space marines but I need some advice on how to play in a field full of Tyranids and other Chaos Space marines. There is also a good Eldar player there too. So here is the two lists I was considering.<br /> <br /> First list:<br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span>: 2x Demon Prince, Mark of Slaanesh, Lash of Submission, Wings<br /> Troops 1: 6x Chaos Space Marines, 1 with flamer<br /> Troops 2: 6x Chaos Space Marines, 1 with flamer<br /> <br /> Second list:<br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span>: Demon Prince, Mark of Slaanesh, Lash of Submission, Wings<br /> Chaos Sorcerer, Mark of Slaanesh, Lash of Submission<br /> Troop 1: 7x Chaos Space Marines, 1 with flamer<br /> Troop 2: 7x Chaos Space Marines, 1 with flamer<br /> <br /> The lists are pretty much the same. But I've been pulled in these similar directions because I don't want to be overwhelmed by genestealers. But I think Lashing the genestealers into perfect formation for the flamers will work fine and I could use the Demon Princes to quickly engage other teams <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQs</span>. I'm also a little worried about investing in two Demon Princes. I can only field 2 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQs</span> and I don't want one to become useless to me in higher points later on. A Demon Prince is much better point for point with a Chaos Sorcerer though. But I don't even know if dual Demon Princes are viable later on in 800 pts, 1000 pts, and 1500 pts. So, what are the realistic pros and cons of each list? Is the choice for 2 Demon Princes viable in higher point brackets?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Why wouldn't it be? The higher the points go, the more likely it is that a single <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DP</span> will get zapped before accomplishing anything. There comes a point where you need to field two or none <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(72);'>IMO</span>.]]></description>

				<title>Re:500 pts Chaos Space Marines</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ So after getting a little more familiar with my codex and reading around on these boards I think I'm going to go with the two Demon Prince version. I was also beginning to think of what the next 500 points would be and I realized that this fits to make this army a perfect 1000 points.<br /> Elites: x10 Terminators, 2 Reaper Autocannon<br /> Heavy Support: x2 Obliterators<br /> Should I worry about a lack of vehicles? I'm not much of a strategist and don't really want to get set into the 4th edition rules because 5th is coming out so soon. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ You never <i>need</i> vehicles. If you don't like using them, so much the better.<br /> <br /> If you're fielding 10 Termies, it's worth getting an Icon for them and at least one <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(105);'>PF</span> for insurance (but not too many--remember, it'll be tough to actually get them into <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(19);'>CC</span> when you want to).<br /> <br /> Two <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(262);'>DPs</span> in 500 pts may be perceived as a little cheesy. I expect you will stomp all the other new players effortlessly with a list like that, since few armies that size can drop two of them before they hit the lines and fewer still can stop them once they get there. I would consider dropping one to tone it down a little unless everyone else is also building cut-throat lists.]]></description>
