Prot Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Here's the situation.... For tonight I'm seriously considering Butcherhorde as I have a LOT of extra Berzerkers. Last night I went through my World Eaters inventory and found about 10 of the 'old' berzerkers, and about 10 of the Forgeworld ones, and another 10 of the unpainted Forgeworld ones. So... at 1850 basically I figure 4 basic squad of CSM marked Khorne. One special weapon each... plasma or melta. Very vanilla squads. Those 4 squads march behind 4 Berzerker squads in Rhino's with XA, and Dirge Casters (hey you never know!). The 4 zerker squads are a bit large... 7-8 models and each of those squads has the Icon of Wrath to increase the 8" charge roll. Now at 1850 the above stuff leaves me with approximately 335 pts. What would you fill those points with in Butcherhorde? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Maybe some Termicide to deepstrike in and have a go at the enemy backfield to complicate your opponents firing priority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Could I legally do that though? I mean we don't typically play unbound.... so I'd be Allying in that case which would make just taking Terminators very hard. I like the idea as I do have Forgeworld Khorne terminators too. Just not sure if it's legal. I was going to go with a Mayhem Helbrute Pack of 3. But that's because it's another dataslate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jackal Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 A Kharybdis/Lamd Raider and boost 1 squad of Berzerkers with the rest of the points to be Kharns assault pals. Or a Cheap Juggerlord + Bikes or Spawn Or a few Predators or Helbrutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 335 points could get you a deep-striking Helbrute pack Or maybe some extra HQ units? 335 points could get you 3 barebones MOK+Aura+Power Weapon Chaos Lords. Remember, you can have multiple combined arms detachments in your battleforged army, so for every 2 units of CSM's or Berzerkers, you get the HQ allowance (assuming MoK and the elites to troops shift, etc, etc).

Vesper Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 With a Greater Brass Scorpion of Khorne. Or two. Or eight. You know, to be fluffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Unfortunately I don't have any Forgeworld units I can add to the list.... but it looks like I"ll just add the Mayhem pack since I will be having this game after I get home from work today.

The Butcherhorde is still a seperate detachment, so each lord you add will need to bring their own troops. Might be able to do it with cultists and allied detachments, for an additional screen for the foot guys. Prot, wouldn't it be better to have the regular marines in the rhinos, so that they get the special weapons into play earlier? Plus also adding combis to the squad champs?

Honestly, I have no faith in the CSM reaching the opponent's front lines. I play a lot of armies with range, and indirect fire. Basically a Wyvern will wipe a squad a turn if not two (if I'm not careful). I guess considering that, I put more points into the rhino squads. I gotta be honest, this doesn't feel like it will work. lol I'll probably go with a different list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer le Boucher Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Personnaly id say, put the CSM squads in the rhinos, the special weapons can shoot from the trapdoor, the Zerkers behind it with the rhinos covering them and they can assault when they want it, no need to wait the next turn for that. Even if they get shot at, they are fearless so they will never run aways no matter the casualties, unlike the CSM. Personnaly i'd go with 2 Maulerfiends, one with mecatendrils and one with magmacutters and with the rest of the points a cheap Lord with the Axe. In an ideal world Maulerfiends would be 95pts a piece and Rhinos could be upgraded to Open-topped vehicles for a 5pts reduction, but hey...

Sure about that one?, i though i saw something in the IA13 about Renegades and CSM that despite been both CSM for faction purpose, they could ally themselfs with one another... or you're speaking with a CSm +CSM detchs?

Sheesh Mode Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Blood Letters. Chaos Demons and Chaos Spacemarines of the same god compliment one another well, have the blood letters deal with 3+ and other elites while the Berserkers annihilate infantry and swamp terminators with sheer numbers of attacks.
