				<title>Looking for Advice for how to Give Power to a CSM List vs Space Marines List</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ These are the first two armies I've been building, as I've only been playing a little more than a year at this point, and I've been trying to figure out how to balance the Chaos Space Marines versus my Space Marines.  I started playing via the Dark Vengeance set with my brother and some friends, and even without much experience I could inherently tell that the thing is unbalanced, so I tried to give them more Oomph before the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(119);'>SM</span> side.  My brother and my friends feel the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> list is missing something versus what I have and I was wondering what I could do to balance things out or add power to the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> force?  Technically the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> is above in points, but as per the actual quality feel when they play it, they don't feel like it has more.  Are there character upgrades I should take to give some things more power as they are?<br /> <br /> We haven't really been playing with objectives or terrain, more of Purge the Alien than anything I guess, as I'm on a bit of a budget and am slowly starting to collect some terrain pieces (Or try and use some of my daughter's toys as terrain).  Part of me thinks that once I get some terrain pieces and we start playing with Objectives that things will be a little more balanced because the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> will have more bodies to stack at Objectives, but I'm not sure.<br /> <br /> I have a box of the Terminator Lord Kadre that I'm going to build with the Lord as a sorcerer and then another Chaos Termie Sorc to maybe make it a 7 model mini-deathstar, and I have recently finished assembling a 10 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> squad to make the current <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> squad legal.  But outside of this I'm not sure what else I should do to balance things out with being unable to afford Big Ticket Items at the moment.  The only new additions the Space Marines will be getting is a Drop Pod, Razorback, and the 30 yr Imperial Tactical Marine when I get around to them.<br /> <br /> *lists are non-competitive in nature when used<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance <img src="/s/i/a/c944477abc92c1c101da485e07ff06d8.gif" border="0"><br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> List<br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(683);'>CAD</span><br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span><br /> Kranon the Relentless - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> stock, though allowed all relics<br /> Chaos Terminator Sorc - Term armor, Combi-melta, ML2, Force Stave<br /> Vrosh Tattersoul - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> Stock<br /> <br /> Troops<br /> 10x <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> squad - 1x <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(51);'>HB</span>, 1x Plasma Gun, 1x Meltagun, 1x Heavy Flamer, 1x Generic Chaos Banner All have Bolters who are able, Aspiring Champion - Plasma Pistol, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(105);'>PF</span><br /> 10x Cultist Squad - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> stock<br /> 10x Cultist Squad - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> stock<br /> <br /> Elites<br /> 12 Squad of Khorne Berzerkers<br /> 9 Squad of Thousand Sons<br /> Chosen Squad - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> Stock<br /> <br /> Heavy Support<br /> Defiler - Havoc Launcher<br /> Helbrute - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> Stock<br /> <br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> Space Marines List<br /> <br /> Firespear Strike Force<br /> 1x Terminator Captain - Storm Bolter, Power Sword<br /> 5x Tactical Squad - 1 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(328);'>ML</span>, rest with bolters<br /> Venerable Dreadnought - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(126);'>TL</span> Lascannon, PFw/storm bolter<br /> <br /> Librarius Conclave<br /> 1x Librarian - Termie Armor, ML2, Storm Bolter, Force Stave<br /> 1x Librarian - ML2, Bolt pistol, Force Stave<br /> 3x Librarian - ML1, Bolt pistol, Force Stave<br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(683);'>CAD</span><br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span><br /> Chaplain - Termie Armor, Storm Bolter, Digital Weapons<br /> <br /> Troops<br /> 10x Tactical Squad - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> Stock<br /> 5x Tactical Squad - 1x Grav Gun, Sergeant - Combi-grav<br /> <br /> Fast<br /> 3x Bike Squad - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> Stock (Used as regular bike squad, not Ravenwing)<br /> <br /> Elite<br /> 5x Terminator Squad - <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> Stock<br /> 6x Honour Guard - Relic Blade<br /> <br /> Heavy Support<br /> 1x Dreadnought - Multi-Melta, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(105);'>PF</span> w/ Storm Bolter]]></description>
