greatcrusade08 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi brothers! I am going to play chaos, and would like to know which are the best units now for the army, please :) ! well its subjective.. always has been and always will be, regardess of new dex. fruthermore the very few people who have thier dex early wouldnt be able to answer this just yet anyway, it will take time to figure it all out. do you play chaos currently, or is it a wagon 'band cuz' of the new dex? a few questions that might help any advice: which armies do you face most often? what experience do you have with chaos? what do you want from the army, something themey, or just a face wrecker for making your friends cry?

Panda_ Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 This is too early. I can already see units that outshine others given typical loadout, but it's too early to be 100% sure of the internal balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJL Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 well a basic chaos sm squad seems really good now, they have the option to be cheep or they can be expensive and good. same goes with havocs, they have got to be the cheapest 4 heavy weapon unit ive ever seen! 135pts for 5 with 4 missile launchers.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I agree with what GC said. Folks either don't have the dex, nor have they had time to play it. So your decisions may have to go with Fluff, like/dislike of new models, theme. If you want know based on how well these will work on the gaming table, then that needs vetting through experience. If you have an army already, just wait for the dex and proxy stuff with a gaming budd/group to see what may work not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to have fun. I would like don't use units to be killed on the second or third round, nor use units people will not like to play against me, hehe! I shall use a "generic" chaos army, thinking if 3 helldreakes would be good, or the raptors / warp fiends (and how many of them). I dislike the resin minis and I am trying to avoid them if possible.

greatcrusade08 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 tbh helldrakes are rumoured to have only one autocannon (grante its a hades) so are set up really as anti aircraft.. i really cant see people running multiple drakes at the moment.. of course with all thigns time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I think multiple Heldrakes with Baleflamers could be quite powerfull against MEQ, but I still think that 3 would be a little much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfgar 25 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 For games of 1500 to 2k, 1 drake only so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 For games of 1500 to 2k, 1 drake only so? as i said before, hard to say one way or the other without knowing the dex better.. rumours suggest the drake has only one weapon, so if your facing an army that has no flyers, it seems a bit of a waste IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killax Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Gut feeling for the best units (also because they changed a little and where really effective before also): HQ: - Lord - Daemon Prince - Named characters Infantry: - Cultists - (Regular) Chaos Space Marines - Chaos Terminators - Havocs - Obliterators Vechicles: - Helldrakes (no need to load up to heavy on them) - Fiends (need heavy mech support allround to be really effective) - Defiler - Predator - Vindicator Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Helldrakes do only take 1 weapon, but since it can be the baleflamer, it's ok. A hades autocannon can fire at troops as well as fliers. Don't forget vector strikes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to have a 3++ save, force weapons and artifacts, whats not to love there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
