1850 Black Legion - friendly

H.Q.
Talus- Buff him up a little more, so he can get that first turn charge. Give him daemonic speed. Also, drop the power weapon in favor of a darkblade. These changes may add a pretty penny to your lord, but it will save you points in the long run.

*******- Consider giving him termi armor and dropping furious charge and rage of khorne.
Terminator Armor: About the only way you can ensure this pup will get into c.c. is by deep striking him into the middle of your opponent's army. An experienced player, if you choose to footslogg the lt across the board, will lure him away with landspeeders and the likes.
Furious charge: Not bad. I suggested for you to drop this upgrade, but that's simply to gain points for the rest of your army, which is in need of some additional wargear.
Rage of Khorne: This upgrade doesn't really do what it needs to. For the points spent, you're not getting much more on your h.q. Also, it's not very consistent and typically won't increase your c.c. power by much. Again, you need these points for other areas of your build.


Troops: IAmAngel touched on the power fist and movement ability for your zerkers. I'd suggest the Talisman over the rhino, because it's much cheaper.


Bikes: Drop tank hunt and save the points. Remember, they have melta guns, which don't need further strength modifiers.

Well, I see a few problems -

First, since you have a Lord, he automatically becomes the General of your army. He has no Mark, so your Beserkers all become Elites choices rather than Troops. While this isn't a big deal, since you only have three Beserker squads and no other Elites, it's just something to keep in mind should you decide upon expanding the list later.

Why does the Lt. have much better gear than the Lord, anyways? He's also illegal as he is - over on the Daemonic Points gift. You could easily solve this problem and the Beserkers problem simply by making ******* the Lord and Talus the Lt.

On the Beserker Glaive - If you're going to use it, you'll want to do it in one of two ways. Either with Stature, or with Terminator Armour. You can see my analysis on the Glaive in my "Daemonic Gifts" FAQ, which is linked in the Chaos Articles thread. While you're there, see why Rage of Khorne is a waste of points.

If Talus is only going to be using a Powerweapon, he needs to have a strength boost. Strength five is bare minimum to be of any use.

Defilers - Drop the Havoc Launchers. Since you can't fire them if you've fired the Battle Cannon, they are simply wasted points.
