<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "1850 List - CSM"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 1850 List - CSM Mostly its based on plasma, which has worked out for me quite alright so far (especially since a lot of people I play have this uncanny love for terminators...). I believe that the oblits are a must in this list, theres nothing like having 5 or 6 plasma cannons or 24 assualt cannon shots annihilating an unsuspecting squad of marines etc.
Also, I would like to incorporate some berzerkers somehow, as they were my bread and butter in 5th, but I'm not quite sure on an effective way to implement them..
Nonetheless, I'm open to all suggestions!
So, here is the run-down:
HQ
Chaos Lord - 145
Nurgle / Sigil of Corruption / Light Claws x2 / Gift of Mutation (He is running with the 9-man squad of plague marines)

Daemon Prince - 260
Pow. Armour / wings / Burning Brand of Skalathrax / MoT / Gift of Mutation

TROOPS
CSM x 10 - 262
CCW / plasma gun x2 / Champ: Light claw; Combi-plasma / Rhino + Havoc Launcher

CSM x 10 - 262
CCW / plasma gun x2 / Champ: Light claw; Combi-plasma / Rhino + Havoc Launcher

Plague Marines x9 - 307
Meltagun x2 / Champ: Power Fist; combi-plasma / Rhino + Havoc Launcher

Heavy Support
Obliterators x3 - 237
Nurgle / VotLW

Obliterators x2 - 158
Nurgle / VotLW

Defi - 220
Power Scourge

So That's it! 1851 Pts.
I'm fairly certain I've posted everything in the acceptable format, but please let me know if it's not! Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Defilers got expensive also, maybe something better you could do with the points.. Helldrakes, Havocs with ML/Autos..Maulerfiend is dirt cheap.

Nothing wrong with Oblits and MoN is a must.

and thanks sgt. Kell! its nice to have some shooty troops on the board, especially ones that can hole up in tall ruins when they need!

I'd suggest dropping the Daemon Prince and the Defiler, both of which are way too spendy for what they bring to your army.

You can replace them with a pair of heldrakes with baleflamers (which accomplish the same things for cheaper) and use the extra points toss in two small units of cultists to go to ground on backfield objectives.

Hope this helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482440/4874431.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482440/4874431.page GMT Re:1850 List - CSM

My initial reaction is you're a bit light on scoring units for 1850 since CSM can't combat squad.

Combat squads: yet another reason we aren't JUST space marines with spikey bits
But seriously, this is a great idea! I've been meaning to get my hands on some cultists, and this would be a very useful implementation!
now I just need to scavenge a cool $150 for some heldrakes (maybe I can borrow/proxy in the meantime)

Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482440/4874538.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482440/4874538.page GMT 1850 List - CSM
Additionally, I'd drop the defiler. I liked them in the last edition of the Codex but they're now way to expensive for what they do. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482440/4875323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482440/4875323.page GMT
