FMPT Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Haven't played any chaos yet, but started making a list and was curious as to which unit most people preferred and why? Possessed? or Chosen? If Chosen what would you suggest equipping them with? What would you say is the better unit? Also, it should be noted, I don't play competitively or for the fluff, I just play to play.

Spacefrisian Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Chosen: Have control over them as in there skills, more options, cheaper than possessed. And more fun to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menkeroth Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 They're both good units as they usually have different tasks. And it also depends on your vision of your army as it is in The Aspiring Champion's Handbook right up. I prefer Chosen as they, as it was already said, have more options. And they're more flexible. Possessed're excellent assault units (they'd be perfect if having grenades and fists). I know they're good in 10-20 models with the Icon of Tzeentch, but personally i don't like the models so i use the Chosen (and i made them from the Dark Angels veterans). But it very strong depends on your army so it's completely up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro_Protagonist Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Also, it should be noted, I don't play competitively or for the fluff, I just play to play. (emphasis mine) Possessed all the way then. I like large units (10-20) of footsloggers (in fun games). The Icon lets you tailor them a bit, while the power roll still makes them nice and random. From the modelling side they also allow for huge conversion opportunities, which is always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 If you play to play, I'd go with Possessed, truly great models right out of the box and they are more different than normal CSM, compared to Chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menkeroth Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 more different than normal CSM, compared to Chosen. True. Chosen don't even have their own models! But many players make them from the Dark Angels Veterans and it differs them greatly from the other CSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorddraconis Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I love the Dark Angels idea for Chosen but I personally used normal CSM bodies with the helmet-less heads and made them look old and pale like how the Space Wolf Long Fangs are all old guys. For outfitting I usually go for 5 Meltas and a Rhino while outflanking. For a fun list, footslogging 20 Possessed is definitely the way to go. Might I also suggest Chaos Spawn for fun footslogging? I mean, a squad of 3 with S5 T5 and 3 wounds a piece WITH fearless isnt a bad option, for fun that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Dark Ones smile they've got a 24" threat range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spear of Achilles Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Chosen by a country mile. Not only can you outflank, you've got access to large volumes of plasma, one of Chaos's hidden strengths. Choosen and a bunch of Havocs can just plasma-gun EVERYTHING dead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Sadly there are many armies out there who do plasma spam both better and cheaper. It is fun though. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMPT Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 I Played a 1500 point game and went with the majority of y'all and pointed up Chosen, only had I believe 5 plus my Chaos Lord in the Unit and they didn't do to terribly bad. Their Rhino was wrecked 1st turn, so they had to walk, although the other side got to me before I could get very far so they did get into close combat rather quickly. I think they held their own, especially considering I was going against GK's, I was pretty overpowered, but they lasted 3 turns of assault. I think I still want to give Possessed a try, but I do like Chosen. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
