Is the Chaos Codex viable any-more? - Part 3.5


Another brief interlude.

On the rare occasions (these days anyway) that I use Chaos it's usually something like this.

1750 Pts - My Chaos Marines Roster - 1750

HQ: Daemon Prince (1#, 155 pts)
1 Daemon Prince @ 155 pts (Wings; Mark of Slaanesh; Lash of Submission x1)

Elite: Chaos Terminators (4#, 140 pts)
1 Chaos Terminators @ 140 pts (Terminator)
4 Terminator (Combi-melta x4)

Troops: Noise Marines (6#, 210 pts)
5 Noise Marines @ 210 pts (Sonic Blaster x4; Blastmaster; Rhino)
1 Rhino (Twin Linked Bolter; Havoc Launcher)

1 Rhino (Twin Linked Bolter; Havoc Launcher)

Heavy Support: Obliterators (3#, 225 pts)
3 Obliterators @ 225 pts

Heavy Support: Predator (1#, 115 pts)
1 Predator @ 115 pts (Searchlight; Smoke Launchers; Autocannon; Heavy Bolter; Havoc Launcher)

Heavy Support: Predator (1#, 115 pts)
1 Predator @ 115 pts (Searchlight; Smoke Launchers; Autocannon; Heavy Bolter; Havoc Launcher)

Total Roster Cost: 1745

A Predator deploys in each corner minimising the likely-hood of being shot in the side armour. Obliterators deploy in some cover.
Noise Marines are effectively Blastmaster bunkers.
Terminators 'deepstrike'.
Daemon Princes are counter assault units. Lash while not as useful in the 5th Ed. world of 'Mech' still annoys the fuck out of anybody foolish enough to be walking about without adequate psychic defence (Cough *Orks* , lol).

It's by no means the most optimised of lists but it served me well through much of 4th Ed. and I still have a soft spot for it.*

* In your face all those so called friends of mine who say I never play for fun ;-)

  2. I think you taught me to accept defeat gracefully by kicking my arse for my first 3 months of playing, though it may have made winning quite important to me as well ;-)
    From now on when anybody complains about the lists I play I'm going to blame you, lol.

    Off Topic. Have you changed your Guard list at all recently? It seems like every-time I see it there's another bloody flying thing appeared in it...

  3. No No guard same as last time you played them
    although there are 3 more flying things waiting in the wings

    1 has big guns and the other is just big

    lets see if you know which

  4. surely that's waiting with wings!

    and my only complaint about your lists is how worn out your poor copy and paste keys must be :P
