So i've played 40k for a while now but i'm still getting the hang of sixth edition and have never played chaos space marines before.
Theres a doubles tournament coming up in august (600 points each), i'll be taking CSM's while my friend brings along his trusty Orks and was looking for some advice on the list.
I don't know the full makeup of his list but it involves a warboss, nob squad with big choppa's, a few deff dreads and as many boyz in trukks as he can fit in, plus a smattering of power klaws.
Heres my first attempt:
Thanks for the suggestions guys, here's an updated list:
Sorcerer
Additional mastery level
Sigil of corruption
Spell familiar
20x Chaos Cultists
8x autoguns
Heavy stubber
Champion w/shotgun
10x Chaos space marines
missile launcher
plasma gun
Aspiring champion w/power sword and melta bombs
5x Havoks
3x Autocannons
1x Obliterator
Mark of nurgle
So the idea is his Orks race off and hit as many things as possible while my guys are the backup. The cultists are there to hold down the first objective they can reach (if you're wondering why 8 autoguns it's cause they're the dark vengeance models combined into one squad) while the marines and sorcerer are a jack of all trades unit to take on whatever the Orks miss. The havoks and the oblterator are on anti-armour duty.
So what I think will be a major weakness is flyers. Since 6th edition came out apparently these things are everywhere but i've yet to face one since me and my mates are all too poor for such lovely models, so I'm not sure how to deal with them.
Also I know autocannons arent the best for anti-armour but it's a numbers game, I think six strength eight shots are better than three lascannon shots.
Oh and is the sigil of corruption worth it? Or should I throw those points somewhere else?
Any help would be grand.
