Nice but im trying to use models i have already and tose 58 extra marines will just kill me. Only new models are defiler, zerkers and landraider. And i said points may go little above 1500 like 50-100 points not 1000, but thx anyway.

ok here you make your mistake. This is only one unit not three, see that slash(/). This is a bit confusing sry.

I would swap the sorcerer for a prince if you insist on bile. There is no reason to skip the best HQ chaos as available.

I would definitely swap the defiler for 2 oblits. They might not pull of a cool 72" barrage, but they will kill anything that hits the board.

Possession on the lr is smart - it will be able to move and drop your troops much more reliably.

Spellbound wrote:Some big problems with this list. Like HUGE.

First of all, fluff - Khorne being seduced by Slaanesh works in theory, but Slaanesh doesn't even LIKE Khorne's followers. Even if it can trick them into doing work for him, the followers don't ENJOY killing, so Slaanesh gets no benefit from their actions. Slaanesh grows more powerful from his followers relishing and enjoying sensations, including killing, and wanting more. Khorne followers just feel a compulsion to kill everything, without joy or thought. They are anathema.

That aside, let's move onto the list.

1) Blastmaster for anti-tank? You're joking right? Shooting that at a tank means you lose A) the mobile firepower aspect of noisemarines with sonic blasters because you stood still B) the sonic blasters, because they can't hurt tanks and you paid 25 points a pop for them and C) your LASH because if he's joined with the noisemarines he has to lash what they shoot at, and you can't lash vehicles.

2) Sorceror with a squad? Lash of submission doesn't work on a pinned target, as per INAT errata. Thus, if you use lash together with any sort of squad that shoots and does wounds, the target could opt to go to ground to prevent being moved. While that auto-pins them for a round, it wastes your potential and key moves like moving someone from an objective, clustering for more damage, or pulling into assault range can't be made. Sorcerors need to join squads to avoid being shot, but if you're using lash I'd join him to an assault-oriented squad so you could pull people towards you and NOT shoot, to avoid having your lash nullified. Better yet, take a Daemon Prince and use your lash independent of any unit's shooting.

3) Bile. Actually, I don't mind Bile. The problem is his weapon's instant death ability doesn't work often because he doesn't ignore armour saves, if I remember correctly. So he only causes instant death if the enemy fails their save. In addition, instant death isn't that useful against enemy infantry, as they have just one wound. It's worth it to note that a Slaanesh lord with a daemon weapon would have more attacks that were power weapons that also caused instant death, and with a plasma pistol would also hit and wound almost anything on a 2+, as well as be able to pop small tanks. No army fluff or enhanced troops though, and I know that's what you want.

4) Landraider for anti-tank, after turn 3 you said? Too late. What are you going to do if the enemy's transport-heavy? Unload your berserkers into a wall of armor, then try to pop something before they gun down their unprotected flesh? I'd say run something alongside them that can pop a transport target to expose the juicy innards for you to charge. Chosen or havics in a rhino work.

So here's what I'd change: [comments after entries]


HQ
125
sorcerer with lash and mark

Replace with prince with wings and lash.



160
Fabius Bile

Fine

Elites

130
5 posessed (i might swap these for chosen or raptors)
Yes, chosen. In a rhino for protection and with plasma or meltas

Troops

270 no marks*/
275 with slaanesh/
300 with khorne
15 chaos marines maybe with mark of khorne or slaanesh, all mutations from Fabius


Khorne or no mark. Slaanesh is a bit overpriced for what you get. Also, give them two meltaguns. This means they can move up, pop a transport, and charge whoever comes out of it. Plasma means you can't charge and flamers can't hurt most tanks, so meltas are your best bet.

270
8 noise marines with 7 blaster and 1 blastmaster, rhino (sorserer runs with thse guys)

Scrap the blastmaster, and the sonic blasters. Give them a champion with a doomsiren and a power weapon. And honestly for the previous squad I'd trade 5 of those guys to give the remaining 10 a rhino.

Also, buy the rhino a combi-melta. Again for the combo of popping an enemy transport with the tank's meltagun then hosing the exposed unit with a doomsiren.

168
8 khorne barzekers (fabius runs with these guys)

Fine. Might want to give them a champion with a powerfist - one dreadnought in close combat with this squad and they do nothing the whole game.

Heavy support

150
defiler

I swear by defilers. Keep it advancing. I'd give it two extra close combat weapons and fire as you advance, then charge into cc as soon as possible. It's a LOT safer there, and it's a serious threat to your enemy.


220
landraider (transports berzekers)

I'd possess it, but that's just me. Makes sure it can always shoot and always move unless seriously damaged.

overall 1493*



Your army as it stands can't make use of its strongest assets. Your best cc unit [15 marines with mark of khorne, enhanced] takes forever to get to cc and your lash can be stopped by the very unit it's joined to. If you're going to run the 15 guys on foot, run them with that daemon prince. The prince can fly forward, pull someone closer, charge them, and hold them there until your squad of guys can jump in and finish them off. A doomsiren is VERY effective against marines AND lighter swarms [gaunts, orks], so if they're moving someone up to take out your prince/marines you can drive up and hose them with the noisemarines. Meanwhile elsewhere your berserkers can advance alongside the defiler and cause more problems.

Ok you got me convinced on the DP, but don't think it will be a problem if the zerkers hit to a wall of iron because of the nades (all chaos troops have nades 6+d6 penetration)
and I have never seen over 13 armourvalue (exept one time a monolith which died in turn 1 from a lucky shot from a blastmaster

Doesn't the defiler have ws of 3? Or this is this just a printing error in my dex.
