Tactics

For Deployment Type

Spearhead - Deploy foot based units and keep rhino squads in reserve. Likewise Unless a lot of vehicles in the opposition army, the obliterators are in reserve.

Dawn of War - Deploy the plague marines well forward and the chaos marines further back (or on an objective if possible), deploy daemon prince to support the plague marines. Rhino squads come on turn 1, obliterators in reserve.

Pitched Battle - Deploy entire army (except lesser daemons).

Against Army types

Mech - Against mech armies generally deploy the obliterators to maximise shooting from turn 1.

Static - Deploy army as close as possible, deepstrike the oblits.

Unit Specific

Daemon Prince - Go for other big critters, init 6 and re-roll to hit and wound should help him here, also to wipe out smaller termie squads etc.

Lesser Daemons - Assault support and to help tie up an enemy unit, try to engage units to block LOS. Also, if needed will camp on an objective.

Land Speeder

total points = 1490

The tacticals are for objectives. The vindi will cover the tacs / objectives while the assault squad + captain counter assaults. Land Speeder and attack bike are fast fire power or objective contesters. Scouts outflank and cause trouble or are a speedbump. Sternguard come down first turn, combat squad, and blow up tanks / shred infantry. They then look scary and draw fire.

What are the SM scouts armed with? they have the option of bolters bolt pistols and close combat weapons, snipers or shotguns.

I vote for the black legion, they are faster and have more hitting power than the marines imo,and less kps

Black Legion get my vote.

Reasons: More punch, fewer KPs.

Black Legion because their individual units counter the SM units very well.

The Oblits counter the Vindicator easily.

The CSM with the Lascannon will stop at least 1 rhino.

The Sternguard are dangerous, but the Noise Marines w/Doom Siren, the Daemon Prince, or the Berzerkers could be used to take them out when that drop pod lands. It's a question of what the Chaos Player holds back and all of these units are mobile, so he has options. Same goes for the assault Marines. Any of the Chaos units listed above can tear them apart in 1 turn.

The Attack bike and the Speeder would be good against an armored force, but Chaos has very little armor. These Marine fast attack units will kill 1 or 2 rhinos but they are poorly suited to destroying the actual Chaos Marines. The oblits will probably down the speeder immediately after the vindicator.

The scouts just have bolters ... cannon fodder.

Agreeing with the consensus so far. Black Legion have more killing power, and thus, take the win.
