    What to do what to do?

    Hey all,

    Iv raided my bitz box and iv found some parts, enough for 5 marines, iv found a but load of special weapons too so im goin to make some havocs with them, im not sure what to go with, the army is a new project, its either going to be Night Lords or Word bearers, so far all i have is 10 marines , iv got 5 more aside who could be added to make it a 10 man havoc unit.

    The weapons i have are, 4 flamers, 4 melta guns, 2 plasma guns, a combi plasma and a combi melta, plus i have a few power fists and power weapons (2 of each) so the champion can have one of the 2.


    So, what say you children of chaos?

    I would suggest simply boosting your troops with Champs and special weapons options for now.

    Could always opt into making them into a unit of Chosen instead of Havocs... Something like 3x Melta + 2x Plasma guns in a rhino and outflanking is pretty damn nasty to say the least.
    You'll make a right mess of any enemy armour and MEQ/TEQ units will no doubt run and hide with all that ap2 goodness looking to light them up!

    Or you could go for a more genralist unit, like say 3x meltas + 2x flamers?!

    Chosen might not be choppy like you'd expect them to honestly be, but they're like having a unit of Havocs on steroids when you slap them in a rhino!

    id go for chosen with 3 melta 2 flamers this is 130 points 165 with rhino
    allways outflank and with 3 melta and 2 flamers you can asssault after words with 15 attacks youll make a right mess. if you want though take away 1 flamer put in champ with powersword combi metla this is then devastating when outflaniking)

    this is my opionion though best of luck
    The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving.

    Well thanks for the builds I will keep them in mind, in the end iv used the models to up my squads so iv got a solid core of 2x 10 csm and a Lord!! One squad is night lords, the lord is the night lords model, not sure if the rest are going to be lords as well or a different legion!

    Well, why no leave your 2nd squad unpainted for now? With all the wild rumors flying about that our beloved chaos marines are getting a new codex rather soon'ish, it might be a decent idea!

    Rumors is that rules for the individual legions might be making a kind of comeback, so by leaving your other squad even just primed for now, you can wait and see what the new rules might hold.
    Who knows, maybe Night Lords will get a cool perk or two and you'll end up deciding to do an army of them? Or maybe another legion might strike your fancy instead, meaning you've got 10 ready-to-paint models good to go.

    Worse comes to worse, there's no individual legion rules/traits and you can still go ahead and paint your squad whatever colours you want!

    On-topic: I agree with the others, either make Chosen or wait for the new dex to come out.

    Off-topic: Outflanking with a Rhino? Since when is that a possibility?

    As long as a unit with either the Infiltrate or Scout special rule is embarked in it's transport it can Outflank.

    To clarify, in order to sit in a transport while it's in reserve, it needs to be a dedicated transport for said unit. You can't outflank a landraider by putting chosen in it, but you can outflank the rhino that comes with the chosen.

    Havocs are great value. If loyalists had a heavy slot that could load up on special weapons you'd never hear the end of it.

    Even in a relatively old book like Chaos Space Marines there's still plenty of competition for those elite slots. Go for Havocs!
