The Lords, if they stay in the list, will join with Rhino squads. They will perhaps split off after debarking.

The big fella will just wait to do his thing.

The Terminators will always deep-strike.

The Chosen will either outflank or scout, depending on who goes first. If I get the models done, the Champ will have the combi-melta, but the fist will go on a regular fellow. The Champ is first choice for promotion to daemonhood.

The troops will motor over and blast things with melta. With luck, some of the Rhinos' combi's will still be working on turn two so they can participate.

The Daemons will tend to an objective.

The Obliterators will obliterate. They will probably deep-strike if I don't go first.

I actually played a dual-Landraider, Abaddon list last year in a preliminary. I came in - wait for it - fourth! Two massacres (Vulcan Marines, Black Legion) and a draw against Blood Angels weren't quite good enough.

If I dropped the lightning-claw Lord, the Greater Daemon, and one squad of Marines, that would be 375 points. That would pay for the plasma vets (165) and 14 CSM. That would give eight in two squads and nine in the other two. Or, I could drop two to pay for the extra melta guns in the chosen. It's something to consider. I won't miss the Lord, but the SGD might be fun.

Now that I think about it, the combi-melta in the Chosen squad is probably stupid; a melta gun should do nicely instead.

I've got just about everything to build this list except the combi-meltas for the vehicles and a couple of combi-melta arms for the termies. But there are a couple of other lists that I'm considering as well, so we'll see.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2264819.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2264819.page GMT Re:Khorne-Fed Bob Tries to Get 'Ard
Or should I just dump 'em and put my Khorne banners back in.

I'm inclined to take the advice above about a plasma Chosen squad, although I might stick to four plasma guns since the Asp. Champ. will probably be number two on the list for promotion to SGD.

Bigger troop squads also appeal, I've usually played squads of eight with the Khorne banners and occasionally a squad of ten when on foot - which I'm trying to quit. I don't mind cutting the termie Lord and even the daemons to pay for more Marines, but I do want to keep the SGD. Although I would dearly love to keep as many troops as possible.

I've used the SGD only a time or two, and it hasn't been terribly successful, except at drawing heavy weapons fire, but I'm inclined to give the big guy another chance.

If I do drop the termie Lord, I will have to also drop the Khorne schtick as well. They could go back to the original Iron Warriors gag "Iron Warrirors Local 631", or I could go with "Khorne-forsaken" instead.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2266754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2266754.page GMT Re:Khorne-Fed Bob Tries to Get 'Ard def.

Adding the plasma chosen would mean cutting a termicide squad. I was kinda digging the redundancy at that position. The Termicide unit does seem like decent value.

So are you voting against combi-meltas on the Rhinos? Or are you talking about the Asp. champs? Or both?

I will NOT use a Blood Feeder under any circumstances - well, any practical circumstances.

Khorne icons are pretty pricey; putting them back in would require some re-working. I do like the effect, but it wouldn't be worthwhile unless the squads were a bit bigger.

Sadly, the Khorne Lord is unlikely to make the cut; that's probably what I'm going to drop to get the points for anything else. The other Lord just seems better value. I'd think about Daemon princes, but I don't think they would intergrate well into this list.

The IoCG's are primarily for the deep-strikers, although I do like an Ld re-roll when I need it.

Thanks for the advice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2276811.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2276811.page GMT Re:Khorne-Fed Bob Tries to Get 'Ard lol invaluable asset.

I was so pleased with my clever idea to make the Rhinos a threat . I shall test it perhaps, before I order any. I have used one on the Chosen squad's Rhino a time or three, I don't remember any great success.

A Deamon Prince of Khorne does sound like good fun, especially with Warptime. I just don't think they can hide behind Rhinos well enough to survive against stiff opposition. And that configuration would be pretty nearly useless deep-striking.

Oh well, I've got other projects that are higher priority now in any case. Still, I'm interesting in finding a build that might compete with the competitive builds that one sees in tournaments these days.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2279782.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2279782.page GMT Khorne-Fed Bob Tries to Get 'Ard

I second this. You'd offer a lot of kill points.
You don't need 6 troop units. Larger CSM units and two Chosen squads should be the way to go.
Lords are too slow for my liking and the Termies are suicide squads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2280974.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2280974.page GMT Re:Khorne-Fed Bob Tries to Get 'Ard CSM. The Lords ride with the Khorne squads.

I've dropped all of the daemons so I can reserve everything if necessary.

V1: Termicide x 2
Chaos Lord, Terminator armor, Lightning Claws, Mark of Khorne - 140 points

Chaos Lord, Daemon weapon, Combi-melta - 140 points

Chaos Terminators x 3: 2 x Combi-melta, Power Fist - 110 points

Chaos Space Marines x 8
Aspiring Champion, Power fist, combi-melta; Icon of Khorne, melta gun - 210 points
Rhino, combi-weapon (melta) 45 point

Rhino, combi-weapon (melta) 45 points

Chaos Space Marines x 10

Rhino, combi-weapon (melta) 45 points

Chaos Space Marines x 10

Rhino, combi-weapon (melta) 45 points

Obliterator Cult x 3 - 225 points
Obliterator Cult x 3 - 225 points
Obliterator Cult x 3 - 225 points

The Chosen squad got bumped up in size mainly due to some extra points and no good idea what to do with them.

V2: Chosen x 2
Chaos Lord, Terminator armor, Lightning Claws, Mark of Khorne - 140 points

Chaos Lord, Daemon weapon, Combi-melta - 140 points

Chaos Terminators x 3: 2 x Combi-melta, Power Fist - 110 points

Chaos Chosen x 5
Melta gun x 5 - 140 points
Rhino, combi-weapon (melta) 45 points

Chaos Chosen x 5
Plasma gun x 5 - 165 points
Rhino, combi-weapon (melta) 45 points

Obliterator Cult x 3 - 225 points

Obviously, the second version has one more kill point.

In the first version, the Chosen play essentially the same role as the Termicide units; get close, blow something up, draw some fire.

In the second version, the melta Chosen will be a suicide unit while the plasma unit will troubleshoot; looking for nasty things like Thunderwolves or Assault Terminators and assist the Obliterators in obliterating things like that. At least those are my initial thoughts.

I'm considering splitting melta and plasma in the Chosen squads, maybe two melta and three plasma each. Has any one tried something like that?

Which list do you like?

Feel free to criticize details, like the crappy Terminator Lord, or anything else.

I still don't think Princes fit in this list as Rhinos don't do that good of a job of hiding them and deep-striking them doesn't really seem like a good idea. But I could be wrong.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2281177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2281177.page GMT Re:Khorne-Fed Bob Tries to Get 'Ard lol.(sacrifice on power though) The DP is well always an HQ choice of mine for its toughness five and the upgrades you can give him.and i believe he will be cheaper than the chaos lord but just as good?

I have played some Chaos. This is what I played last time out.

Chaos Lord: Daemon Weapon, combi-melta - 140 points

Lesser Daemons x 8 - 104 points

Obliterator Cult x 2 - 150 points
Obliterator Cult x 2 - 150 points
Obliterator Cult x 2 - 150 points

I've also played some lists with one or two Sorcerors with Lash. It's big fun.

So, sadly, Khorne-Fed Bob has been consigned to the shelf of shame and Khorne has been forsaken.

I shall endeavor to give something similar a try once we start testing for 'Ard Boyz. I shall not likely actually use Chaos in 'Ard Boyz, but it'll give the other fellows something different to play against.

The Termie Lord is certainly not going to be included, not are any Terminators likely to be involved.

The squads would have to smaller of course. One melta gun per squad is simply insufficient.

I could also make champs with just combi-meltas or I could dump the Champs for two more Marines with one more melta gun.

I made these champs when these guys were pretending to be Space Wolves. They made much more sense as Wolf Guard - and illustrate the wretched excess that is Codex:Space Wolves.

Of course what I'd like to do is add the Khorne banners back to two of the squads. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2570894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2570894.page GMT Khorne-Fed Bob Tries to Get 'Ard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2580178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335762/2580178.page GMT
