5 Chaos Termi champs?

[Brother Outs]

Hello, a quick question. the chaos codex , under elites/terminators reads as follows: any models may be upgraded to terminator champions for 10pts. per model. seeing that the base cost is 30pts. +10= 40pts. per model. 10pts. to take base attacks from 2-to-3 seems like a no-brainer. considering standard marine termis are 40pts. each with only 2 attacks. can i then have, say a squad of 5 chaos termi champions? i know the codex states this clearly, but wanted to ask all you vets. thanks, in advance.

Yup. Totally fine.

You can also give the squad all lightning claws and the mark of khorne, getting 6 attacks on the charge:D

Or mark of Slaanesh and making them I5 so they'll go before any other marines and kill them without the risk of being killed in return.

10 points for an attack is pretty expensive. You could just buy more terminators.

Yeah, it's mostly just for Rule of Cool (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool) effect.

yeah, the cool thing about the rule is that any model can be upgraded, even the hvy flamer/ autocannon guy. so you could have 4 grunts and the champ with an autocannon and a chainfist if you really wanted to.

Well, it doesn't give you more bodies to soak up wounds, but on the other hand, ten points for one attack vs. thirty points for two is not an obviously bad buy.

Thanks for the comments. my idea was to give chaos termis mark of slaanesh, lighting claws, throw them in a landraider and feed them to my opponent. the rest of my army would be free for 1-to-2 turns.
