LordGates Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hello all, long time lurker here. I took a little bit of a hiatus from 40k upon the advent of previous chaos codex. I was curious though. I intend on running a renegade focus army, most likely with slaanesh marked chaos marines. What do you think is the most efficient way to arm an aspiring champ with this edition/new codex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attomsk Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Well you will want to take advantage of that initiative so either a power sword (against MEQ) or maul vs others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifrit446 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Personally, I enjoy Fists and Axes to kill any type of armored enemy. But if you want to take advantage of the Slaanesh Mark, I would recomend thr Power Sword and Melta Bomb combo so that your champs are geared for almost everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Because of the forced challenges, you're going to want to an I4 weapon (besides plague marines), so we can toss out axes and fists. Maul is great if you don't fight a lot of basic marines, as its better than sword against most things including vehicles. Sword or claws will be default choice for most marine heavy gaming environments and works nicely with VotLW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 If you want your marines to win most MEQ type fights, then go with LCs I think. If a majority of your opponents are something else, then I'd go with a maul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGates Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Honestly, I am making an all around list. Given the amount of marine players there are, period, I am probably going to go with lightning claw. I appreciate all the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galadren Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Single lightning claw and Mark of Khorne. You lose an attack, but the reroll to wound makes up for it and comes out ahead in some situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifrit446 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Oooooh I didnt even think of Lightning Claws, those sound great :D Just one with a pistol or would you guys go for the pair of badassery?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urdokadin Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Two lightning claws is pretty expensive for just one attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm taking a pair of claws on my MoS Chosen Champ. For regular Chosen and squad Champs, I think a sword is sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Oooooh I didnt even think of Lightning Claws, those sound great happy.gif Just one with a pistol or would you guys go for the pair of badassery?? A pair isn't really worth it imo, too many points on a 1w model with no invulnerable save. MoK should give you plenty of attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pair isn't really worth it imo, too many points on a 1w model with no invulnerable save. MoK should give you plenty of attacks. But on a Mark of Slaanesh Champ, it gives him an all but assured kill in a challenge with a SM sergeant; Hell, that one guy with VOTLW could probably eat your average Librarian's lunch without breaking a sweat, either. Which is one reason why I'm taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yeah, MoS is different. It's worth doubling up for the extra attack then, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
