2k Emperor's Children List

[DracoDarco]

Hey everyone, I haven't played 40k since 5th edition, but have been getting back into it and have found myself once again drawn to Chaos and The Emperor's Children in particular. I built a kind of aspirational 2K point list that I was hoping to get some opinions on. It's mostly based on models I like and units I enjoyed using in the past, but I wouldn't mind winning every once in awhile either. Honestly this is mostly just a thought exercise since my state likely won't allow gatherings until after a new CSM dex is out anyway.

Sorry if the formatting is a bit off. First time using battlescribe.

It looks like a fun and balanced list that can really take advantage of some of the Emperor's Children stratagems. I think you will find that the 8th Edition Chaos Codex in combination with the Psychic Awakening book and the Vigilus book grant Chaos far more variety than were ever given by the testament to blandness that was the 5th Edition Codex.

 

The list looks a bit slow for my tastes, but my main Chaos Army is Night Lords so I really like mobility. Plus you do have Raptors, a Terminator Sorcerer, and Chaos Terminators to deep-strike. You also have a Chaos Rhino and DP to move up behind cover so it's not that slow.

 

Good luck!
