I also didn't mention in my other post that they are also deep strikers, adding to the value of that multi-melta or plasma capability. Havocs may improve if they get anti-air, and I know you already have a bunch of them, but the Oblits are generally a better option. In a friendly enviroment, Havocs may do enough, though. <br /><br />I know you're in Japan so not sure how the pricing is shaking out, but I'd say on average, Chaos Lord is going for about $7, Chosen squads (5), Cultists (10) and Hellbrutes for about $15. For the quality of the minis its a great value.

Also, I had heard that obliterators were good, but thought that with 9 Havocs maybe I didn't need them. Your comment adds to the weight of evidence that I should pick some up though. <br />The Dark Vengeance stuff IS nice. I'm hoping that a buddy will sell me his CSM stuff when his set arrives but if not ebay awaits! <br />Thanks again for the help.

I like some of the chapters that are official, but in all my armies to date (WH40K or WFB) I have gone outside the stock army colours + I enjoy the freedom to make up my own fluff and names. <br />:-) Oddjobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382544182623094584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121337832192251782.post-63862536346278366172012-09-20T23:06:24.128+09:002012-09-20T23:06:24.128+09:00Thanks for the advice.

I think you are right about waiting (especially given some of the strange units in the latest White Dwarf images that are popping up on the net the last couple of days!) <br />Cheers!

There are a number of brand new units being released, flyers are a big thing now, etc etc. <br /><br />It looks like you have roughly 1500 or so points with what you have as of now, though some (like the bikes) may not be very useful (again depending on the new codex, but two bikes still won't do much. You could always sell them, Chaos bikes seem to do well on eBay.)<br /><br />Terms are always great, probably in a group of five. CSM you can run anywhere from 7-10 usually, probably favoring the plasmagun and dropping the flamer. Depending on your playstyle or new Codex options, you may want transports. Your Khorne Juggy could always be a Khorne HQ on a Juggernaut, assuming that's still an option in the new book, or part of a Demons ally group. <br /><br />As of 5th edition Codex, I think you'd really have to look at Obliterators as your other Heavy option. Groups of 3, able to use either a lascannon, plasma, multi-melta, flamer in any given round, plus a power fist. Were one of the best units in 40k in 5th, we'll see how they pan out in the new book. Pricy though, consider they come in threes and you may want 6, so I'd look at used models or stand-ins. <br />Also bear in mind that the Dark Vengeance set is available piecemeal on eBay, and very, very nice models are going for so much cheaper than I expected. The Chaos Lord, Cultists for objective babysitting, Chosen, and the Hellbrute are all gorgeous models that might really come in handy at a reasonable price.<br /><br />In conclusion, Defilers are so cool.

Otherwise I'm kind of in a similar boat to you, I have a lot of chaos from when I was younger and I don't really know what goes where these days. From what I hear the new Chaos Codex is imminent (Oct 6th?) so I'm going to wait for that. Hopefully once I've read it everything will fall into place. Any idea what legion/warband you're going to paint them as? Or maybe invent your own?James Dunbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538668472884026443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121337832192251782.post-88684043796393190762012-09-20T00:59:26.457+09:002012-09-20T00:59:26.457+09:00Its hard to say because the new codex for the chao...Its hard to say because the new codex for the chaos space marines is due out at the end of the month, but the defiler is a brilliant heavy support choice. Deamon princes can make a good cheap HQ. As for troops nurgle marines are really tough and good for holding objectives, you could convert some standard chaos space marines with some green stuff. also you could convert the body of the terminators into oblitorators. Hope that helps, like I say the new codex is due so maybe wait for that.Chaotic Commanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475738909597459497noreply@blogger.com
