The emperors chosen Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 HI! Ok, I'm starting a small chaos army(a squad or two) as a side project, and I'm wondering if a unit I have is legal, its a five man unit, with the following weapon:bolt pistol, chainsword(x2) heavy bolter,bolter and powerfist, and plasma pistol, chainsword. Thanks for the help, the reason I am asking is because I don't have the codex :ermm: :D thanks!

incinerator950 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Get the codex, you need a minimum of two squads and an HQ. Chaos Space Marines come standard with grenades, CCWs, Bolters, and Pistols.

The emperors chosen Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 I know that, what I want to know is is that squad option legal? I can try and get a codex soon, but I don't know where a gw is, and im not ordering one off the website Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174048-unit-options/#findComment-2057292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The squad is not legal. Chaos Space Marine standard squads can only get a heavy weapon if teh squad is at least 10 men strong. With 5 men you are only allowed to equip one model with a special weapon (Flamer, Melta, Plasmagun or Plasma Pistol). One model of the 5 can still be a Champion and get the powerfist. Every Marine not equipped with special gear carries Boltgun, Boltpistol and a close combat weapon as standard, so you can build the models with either BP/Chainsword or with Boltgun, however you like, in th egame they all count as having all three. So, except for the heavy bolter guy that squad is ok. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174048-unit-options/#findComment-2057301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emperors chosen Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 thanks, now to find an alternate model.... also for anyone thats interested, the fluff is that it is a renegade force, they are aligned with khorne, but disdain the "craziness" of he world eaters, their symbol is a shoulder pad painted red.

chillin Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Not sure what you mean be chainsword (X2) then listing chainsword again later ? As 950 sz all csm's come standard w/ bp & ccw and bolter. So any could be shown with any combo of any of those things. If your jsut building it for looks it's fine (legal), if you want to actually start playing chaos leave out the plaz pistol and HB.

I would use a flamer, that always seemed a very khorne weop to me (not to mention effective).
