aberrant_unc Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 What are your favorite anti-horde units in the chaos codex? 1. I don't own any but noise marines sound great for anti-horde (maybe a little fragile?) 2. 8 Zerkers can destroy a 30 boy mob and are even better against IG 3. any unit with 2 flamers in it is great and will also remove space marines from cover (plague marines?) 4. Chosen or Havocs have the super flamers but seem fragile too - havocs with heavy bolters or missile launchers could be OK 5. Dreadnought - many hordes can't touch him, he has flamers, BUT a hidden powerfist will ruin you! 6. HQ with nurgle's rot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadaeux Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Obliterator Plasma Cannons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Stalker Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Havocs with 4 flamers. Cheap and very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Humongous Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Not a unit, but put havoc launchers on all your rhinos, and focus your fire. Surprising how much harm they do to hordes, specially since the tend to bunch up and are hard to miss even with some scatter. Obliterator Plasma Cannons. Against hordes? Seems overpriced overkill, unless you are maybe shooting swarms. Might as well suggest a defiler or vindicator- the pieplate covers 4 times as many mdoels, for about twice the points. On the other hand, the twinlinked flamer IS fun when you get to use it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hvy bolter havoc squad. Good vs everybody, esp hoards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Chosen with flamers or heavy bolters. Infiltrate ahead of your army in a centric position in cover, unload on the enemy when they approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 in a normal or tailored list . in a normal list its oblits , then rot prince . in a tailored one its anything you want , because if someone tailores a horde army to kill meq you lose till you hit 1850 pts.

Night Stalker Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 for a normal just take a Slannesh Prince with Lash and get a vindicator and be happy! lol Well, Lash + 4/5 flamers kill more than lash + vindicator who can miss :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse. Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Combo's aside, I've been facing lots of tyranids lately, and having a single dreadnought on hand (or defiler) makes for a great anti gaunt/garg/ripper unit. It just seems right to take one, so I take two to be sure of it. Other then that, I've had success with two khornate/tzeentch lords with daemonweapons. A few times Ive gotten well over 25 attacks, thats enough to pay for 8 terminators hanging out with my... Berzerkers... Hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskie Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Heavy bolter havocs, dread with heavy bolter, chosen with combi-flamers. They'll get swarmed eventually but they can shoot the bolters until in range to flame. You could put them in a rhino or a landraider or just infiltrate or outflank. Hordes, true 100+ model Ork and Guard hordes usually have troops on either flank. AV14 gives Hordes problems, especially if you pick on their anti-tank early. This isn't true about the guard but a Landraider or a Crusader if you're loyal, does a number on Nids and Ork boyz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukov Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 In my lists almost everything seems to do fine: Oblits, Rot prince, Berzerkers charging, Plague marines flaming and then charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drac0 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Zerkers (gotta luv'em) Obliterators (has we can choose the weapons) I haven't tried it yet but Typhus might be interesting (shame he's not an eternal warrior *grumble, grumble*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
