That being said, yes, the Chaos Lords are rather bland, and I have noticed myself that aside from dual lightning claws, every loadout he can take, is one that an Aspiring Champion can take as well. Big difference, of course, is number of attacks.

As for reasons to take him - Basically because of the buff aura. Unless you're running one of the Cult Armies, or Abbaddon, the Chaos Lord is the only way to get the re-roll 1 aura. And, to be fair, they can still do some work when kitted out as a beat stick. I have one for my Night Lords equipped with a jump pack and dual LC and run him with a Raptor pack and/or Warp Talons, and it is pretty devastating when it hits enemy lines. I'm in the process of making another one with a power fist and plasma pistol. And of course the Terminator option is always there for the additional wound.

Can they be unique, and have fun Chaos inspired wargear? No, but with the buff aura and decent number of attacks, they're still quite good in assault, which is where generic Lords generally always wanted to be anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493783.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493783.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493813.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493813.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493830.page GMT DP, their killing capabilities have gone down massively thanks to no artifacts of chaos but they'll still slap around MEQs like little dolls (I equip them with Power Fists if I have the points because they're still hitting on 3s re-rolling 1s at S8 AP-3). Also, because of the reputation of chaos Lords from 7th ed, they aren't bad distractions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732817/9493873.page GMT
