Since being home for the holidays I have managed to get a couple of games in with a good friend of mine who has a very nicely painted
imperial guard army. I have been putting together a chaos space marine army first time playing them, and we played two games guard won the first and chaos the second. Both games came down to being won by one or two victory points and were a lot of fun, first time for both of us properly playing 6th edition. So in the chaos list I took the following (2000 point lists)
Daemon Prince, Wings, Power Armour, Mark of Slaanesh, Mastery level 2, slaanesh and biomancy
Typhus
30 Zombies
30 Zombies
17 Plague Marines
17 Plague Marines
Heldrake
Havocs (5) 4 autocannons
His list looked something like this
Straken
Infantry Platoon (5 squads not combined with heavy weapon in each (no las cannons)
Platoon Command
2 Squads veterans in chimeras grenades and flamers
2 squads veterans in vendettas melta and plasma not squadroned
3 leman russ battle tanks not squadroned
We played a home made scenario a bit of a spin off of the relic with some changes to give a bit more narrative. The deployment
was table quarters more than 20" from the centre of the board. He took the first turn but night fighting was in effect so I didnt suffer
many casualties, I charged the daemon prince straight up the middle to put the heat on and moved the two squads of plague marines
towards the centre with the zombies covering the flank, the other zombies and typhus were in reserve outflank (scenario rules) and the two
guard chimeras had infiltrated. I ended up winning 4-3 I made so many feel no pain rolls from the plague marines and zombies that they just kept marching up both being fearless and although the daemon prince died on turn 3 failed his charge by 1 inch he did take a lot of heat
of the big blobs of infantry. although they are expensive the plague marines seem so good for what they do, in the first game i just took
chaos marines with mark of nurgle same cost as a normal marine boy does that make a difference. I know demolisher cannons would give me
a hard time as would the dooms day arc but it seems a tough to beat list, not the most maneuverable but the heldrake and prince help with that.
have you guys played any lists like this yet? thinking next of toughness 6 nurgle bikers :O
