Without focusing on any particular god, what I'd like to do is figure out an assault-heavy CSM list that may be capable of breaking a gunline army.

In the thread "Close Combat", we came to the conclusion that successful assault units have speed and resilience to get them across the field.

Units that look promising are:

-Chaos Lords with either a jump pack or a bike
-Choppy nurgle bikers (they're fast, tough and can take some good anti-armour)
-Raptors with some melta (possibly get two of them working with a well-chosen DP to assault at the same time, hopefully just after jumping out of LOS blocking cover)
-Typhus and Zombies to hold objectives
-Obliterator spam in HS - deepstrike in, shoot some shiz al-la termicide, then close in with short-range weaponry and assault)
-Heldrakes (Because baleflamer)

I feel that this list may be a step in the right direction, but it needs refining, and I need some opinions:

Jumping around with a decent FnP and hitting first every time is a nice sight. You can't go wrong with MoN either, stops instant kills. The MoK Juggerlord is a very nice combo, but the MoS lord on a Steed of Slaanesh and with the Murder Sword is almost godly; the sword is AP3 anyway, but when in base contact with an enemy character of your choosing, it becomes AP1, Instant Death and has x2 strength. Highly recommend that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565864/6301453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565864/6301453.page GMT Re:Rage against the Marine - 1750 pts assault CSM brainstorming

Or load assault troops (berzerkers, plague marines, slaanesh marines, Terminatorsm, chosen whatever) into 3 Landraiders. Most gunline struggle against AV14 so rush them with that.

Murder sword is meh. You're forced to challenge so that big character you want dead will just have his 2+ save sergeant accept the challenge and your guy is toast...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565864/6301647.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565864/6301647.page GMT
