1850 Chaos list

[Charcoal]

Yah I've been switching my lists up here and there trying to get a good mix of evrything. This is the one I've ran lately and well I'm not to sure if its up to standard yet.

HQ
- Deamon Prince w mrk o slaanesh (lash of submission)
- Deamon Prince w mrk o Nurgle ( Nurgle's Rot)
280

ELITE
-7 x Terminators w mrk o Tzeentch(+1 involm)
1- reaper cannon w PF
1- combi-melta w CF
310

TROOP
- 2x 5man Plague w 1 melta
Each in Rhino w havoc launcher/ extra TL Bolter.
-10 man Plague w 1 melta, 1 plasma gun. In Rhino w Havoc launcher
665

HEAVY
-2x Havoc Squad 2x Missile, 2x Lascannon.
-1x 3 Obliterators
595

Any comments or suggestions would be dandy.
Pretty much have the Rhinos holding objective/hiding to save points. The ten man attacking for objectives. The Princes walking and taking on anything moving (big bullseyes if u tell me!). Heavys sitting back n trying best to pop tanks/walkers. And the lovely Termies dropping in to take out whatever they can.
I have plently of everything to sub in whats above other then obliterators (which i would like to have 3 groups instead of the 1). Even Typhus to keep the Nurgle theme going.

Since this list is pretty much identical from the time you took on my Necrons save for a few changes like no wings on the nurgle prince have a beefier termie squad with tzeentch mark not to mention it was at 1500pts so only 1 havoc squad I only have 1 little advice for you.


The last game you had your troops sitting on your objective pretty well and even had a 3rd squad sitting in the middle to add support and that sound like a good plan but the probleme is that 1 squad of plague marines was just sitting there looking at the action.

So I think one of the major reason I won is that you where not aggressive enough with your army.

So I would suggested try to move your stuff along accordingly so that everything as something to do most of the game other then that your list looks solid.

The thing with that is if i had moved that squad away from the objective I could of possably lost battle n had nothing to cap the objective.

true but with more man power in front the terminators would had successfully escorted my warriors off the board and had enough firepower to wipe the 2nd warrior group or keep it contested where I would had only 1 scoring unit.

That is what I was seeing and why I think a more aggressive stand would have benifited you better.

I was also toying w taking out the 2 havics n bringing in predators w all lass and daenomic possesuon. Equals the same point value but leave me to getting emobilized but i would get more movement out of the squads. Jus dont know if that would be more feesable or not.

The only thing that 'irks me about predator tanks in 5ft is how if it moves its down to 1 weapon shot versus 3 and it only takes 1 good shot to render the models into rubble while a devastor squad placed into a good cover area can fire 4 and can loses few models before lossing its weapon and even then still be more effective then the predator would be if it took a kill shot.

So my opinion between a pred and a havoc squad if both are the same point cost then I would go havoc everytime.

remember the situation you are looking at is versus high strength weapons, now if you look at low strength weapons say a unit with bolters firing then the tank is laughing and the havocs are taking saves and dieing.

But low strenght weapons then to have a short range so appropriates screening from the rest of the army should suffice after all there still power armor wearing models.

Not all anti-infantry shooting is short range. I always pack a dedicated anti-infantry unit or two in all lists I make just to take care of long fangs, devs and the like.
