http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net CSM with plasma hold the safest backfield objective, and melta CSM camp on a compromised backfield objective. The heldrake, well, he just does what he does. This is my first attempt at a semi-competitive CSM list. C&C very much appreciated.

You're never going to get t use that powerfist. If you drop the fist, Icon, CCW and VotLW, that's 64 points (IIRC) you could be putting towards a rhino and some more warm bodies for that melta gun.

Drop the other VotLW and now you can take your stuff out of Crimson slaughter and get ear for literally nothing since you can now take the normal CSM relics in a crimson slaughter list.

Alternately, drop the CSM for cultists and place all your objectives in cover so they can gtg for a 3+ or 4+ cover and hope they don't break.

MoT on the oblits can come in handy, especially against loyalist scum where Grav and/or plasma is going to be prevalent as you get a better save than MoN. Also means that in the open or camping in ruins gets you the same save, so you've got a bit more freedom with placement and such.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689223/8622679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689223/8622679.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689223/8623191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689223/8623191.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689223/8623527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689223/8623527.page GMT
