Guest arbitor marduk Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey guys, i really like the look of our chaos marine troops and love the idea of fielding a army composed of massed marines! I was wondering how many units would be viable in games? I typically play 2000 points :p. Also what equipment should i upgrade them to have? (if it helps i mainly go against tau, guard GK and spacemarines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I have a problem with 2 things. a lot of marines and viable at the same time. Most of the time , if chaos uses[and that is a big if, that doesn't happen offten] its in the form of MSU. Has lack two very important things loyalist marines have to run mass marines. Drop pods and the ablity to ignore the Ld stat. at 2k you probably want to play dual invis stats with 4-5 sorc ,2 units of bikes , some msu csm in rhinos to[at 4k that is probably 4-5 units] and if the points are there some sort of support[probably will have to pick between oblits and horrors].

Guest arbitor marduk Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Im going to sound stupid now but what does msu mean? So would there be any marks in what you've suggested? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Im going to sound stupid now but what does msu mean? So would there be any marks in what you've suggested? msu = multiple small units For chaos it usually 5 man csm squad with a plasma gun and rhino. Maybe a combi for champ. Marks are not that good(too expansive) or cult unit do it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Im going to sound stupid now but what does msu mean? So would there be any marks in what you've suggested? marks suck for csm. If you want to use marks take plague marines. You should be taking mon for oblits[to not get ID by str8], lords[to not get ID by str10], spawn[always] and most of the time for bikers. Sorc should be run undivided to not waste spell slots on chaos powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arbitor marduk Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks for clearing that up uprising :). Should the combi also be plasma? I actually take 2 plague marine squads with duel plasma incase I'm up against any mc. And im thinking of making a further sorcerer to accompany my nurgle santa I've already made haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Combi should be the same as special weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If you are going to use unmarked CSM you might want to put a Lord with them for fearless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The best advice is to use what you want. Generally what you will get from here is advice for making your army better at winning competitive events. If you are playing friendly games, then take as many as you like.
