A bit light on anti-vehicle shooting, but not terrible. Lots of bodies, and lots of anti-infantry. A decent deathstar as well.

Interesting.

I think it might be weak in Purge, Big Guns, and Scouring. You've got 10 kill points that are fairly easy to get, which includes your Fast Attack and Heavy Support.

If you dropped on unit of cultists and the Mutilators, you could take a heldrake with a baleflamer.

Interesting list,

No squad vet power weapons?

I'm not a fan of giving upgrades to the champs at all. Too many points for too little benefit.

@Mark I may agree with you. I'd have to test it and see. There's no one-shot VPs, except possibly the mutilators. Will an opponent focus his fire on spawn and mutilators when there are actual threats in his face? Maybe.

As for the Heldrake, I don't hate the unit but it's a dedicated anti-infantry thing which this list does not need more of. This is a list that might benefit more from an Aegis line than a Heldrake.

Whenever I think I have a half-ass decent Chaos list made I hold it up next to another army list. For example:

Total 1750 Points

This Ork list (courtesy of Phil Kelly) has more of everything good. More shooting, more bodies, fliers and flier defence, mobility, two mini-deathstars - that score. Sigh. Oh Chaos book.

The more i play with the chaos book.. The tougher it becomes to put on a happy face.. Hehe.

Going from grey knights to chaos is even worse.. I might revisit my road warrior style ork army.. The chaos book isnt livng.up.to my desire for assaulting willy nilly

Robyn, I trademarked this list! No stealing!

P.S. Also, I'm getting a little tired of all your negativity regarding the Chaos book. It's fine. Just keep drinking the kool-aid.

That ork list is killer. I'm a huge fan of 5-man loota squads, by the way. Definitely the way to go.

...

That ork list is very tight.

Thanks Mark! Wait, is "very tight" better than "super tight"? What is the tight hierarchy these days?

Tightarchy? I'd share it, but it's fantastically tight.

That's what he said...

Are we back talking about bears again?

If you're into that sorta thing....

here is something i was considering for league finals. armour saturation. I'de need to borrow one land raider. but i think it might catch some folks off guard.... I think Tim posted something similar in an earlier post.

Nothing but av 13 and 14 on the table turn 1. Cultists ride in style until the raiders go away or they need to snag an objective.

Yeah, I posted a similar list but with 3 Vindis. You'll struggle against anything with numbers, but against a mech-heavy list you'll do fine. Those cultists are not going to have fun when those land raiders blow up.

Necrons will take your lunch money too.
