<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "1850 CSM/ CD would love some input!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 1850 CSM/ CD would love some input! FLGS with some bonus prize support for the holidays. Last year I was able to narrowly take first and net a sweet case. This year I've adapted my list slightly and I would love some input. We don't really have many other Chaos players in my area so any advice would be wonderful! Here's the list,

Primary CSM
HQ:
Daemon Prince(CSM, Warlord) 365
-Tzeentch, Wings, Armor, ML3, Familiar, Gift, Black Mace

Troops:
x10 Chaos Space Marines 215
-x2 Plasma. Veterans, Rhino

x21 Cultists 106
x2 Flamer,

Fast Attack:
Heldrake 170
-Baleflamer

Heavy Support:
x2 Obliterators 152
-Nurgle

x2 Obliterators 152
-Nurgle

x7Havocs 141
-x4 autocannons

Allies:
HQ:
Fateweaver 300

Troops;
x11 Pink Horrors 99

Heavy Support;
Daemon Prince 355
-Tzeentch, Wings, Armor, Greater, Exalted ML3

Any feedback is welcome, there are very few Tau and Eldar players in our area but plenty of other xenos and plenty of imperial players. Happy holidays!

It looks to be a good take all comers army, with a good amount of skyfire.
Additionally what about a second Helldrake?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365787.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input! FF and divination on the CD FMC and either biomancy or telepethy on the csm prince. He would make an easy swap for the CSM prince. I dropped the 2nd drake for more oblits, 5 flyers seemed a little much. I just hate having 1 rhino on the table, it can't really survive my opponents entire AT. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365808.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input!

Well the MCs, Oblits, and the Helldrake appear to be your main damage dealers so I wouldn't worry about that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365824.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365824.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input! DP HQ, so then he can fly around and not get killed so easily. If you're thinking about putting him with another unit, then why have wings? And if you're thinking about sending him into close combat, then you should put him in another units so he doesn't have to accept challenges and stuff. So I would either take off the wings or switch out the Black Mace.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365849.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365849.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6365867.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input! CSM list especially one with a Tzeentch DP and obliterators (my favorite units). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6366883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6366883.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input!

DPs are not Independent Characters if I remember right, so they can't join units.


As for the list, I like it. Its nice to not see multiple drakes in a CSM list, nicer still to see actual MARINES in the list as well! Although, I have to deduct style points for including Mark of Nurgle bearing units in what is almost 100% a Tzeentch list Why not go whole hog and swap MoN out for the Mark of Tzeentch and give the Oblits a 4++?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6367572.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6367572.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input! DPs are just Characters. But why would you have a lone unit be a character? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6382708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6382708.page GMT Re:1850 CSM/ CD would love some input!

Because of precision shots *unrestrained laughing*

Apparently, it's "fun" to have your 200+ pts DP get locked in a challenge half/all the time it's in combat.

DP in a unit was so that wouldn't happen... now my CSM army just kinda got screwed over...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6393675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569547/6393675.page GMT
