Goatboy here again with something Chaotic I’ve cooked up to face down those Marine lists that are EVERYWHERE these days!

I get the feel I will be playing them against them for a long time so instead of just following suit – I should just play something fun.  Heck I should just play something that looks cool on the table top and lets me play with my favorite miniatures because at this point my game playing is limited to events which means – I will just be playing versus a ton of  Marines.  Thus the following list – tweaked from something I brought to be the ringer army at a local event I TO’d.  It probably should all be Alpha Legion – but screw it I like being able to advance and Charge with some things like the boss I am.

Tactics

This is just a I don’t care I am coming at you.  I dropped the Discordant Lords as they just get shot and don’t do enough if they don’t get a chance to get there.  They can do wonders but in new Marines – the lowly bolter can wreck you so just having some Daemon Princes that can hide behind the Dreads might work better.  Who am I kidding – this may just get shot off the table as they trundle around the table top.  At the very least it will look cool and make people chuckle at the insanity of having some many close combat based Helbrutes laying around.

This really starts to show how they should have added the Legion traits to all the models in the Chaos Space Marines.  Right now it is the only book left that doesn’t get all the rules for all their units.  I don’t know what Chaos Player made the rules writers mad due to the over powered nature of Daemon Engine.  At the very least they could make that something more then just having a 5+ inv save and Daemon Hating stuff – well hating them.  Maybe make it where they can move and shoot without any penalties, get madder as they get damaged, or just – I don’t know make them cooler?

~Until next time when I just join the legions of Marine players and bring some kind of monstrosity to the table top.  I’ll try to not bring Iron Hands.
