So I am very interested in Chaos, I like the small numbers and unique troops that have more to them than just a basic space marine. I haven't been tempted enough by the gods to get the codex yet, but my will is only so strong. However, after reading a lot about Chaos I find one thing keeps repeating itself, that is NEVER TO GET EXCITED OVER WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH CHAOS.
Seems there is always a way to drop a ton of points for that uber cool squad, but doing so is frowned upon. I mean you guys must give in and have at least one super cool, dynamic, uber fun squad...right. I know Chaos has the best troop choices in the game, and they cost a ton of points, so stick to the basics and you will win. And then there are the ever popular HQ choices that can rip apart a full 10 man unit alone. You must have at least one insaneo squad right?
If so, do you not take an elaborate HQ? At how many points do you introduce the fancy death squad, it seems it's 1500 pts. So after 1500 pts (1850 pts seems right) you get one crazy unit. What are they?
It seems with Khorne an army is bezerkers, and more bezerkers...bloodletters then big HQ. Nurgle it's units of 7, more units of seven infantry.....big HQ. Etc..
So if I were to start Chaos, I would probably buy the uber cool unit first and model/convert/paint them first and say "Wow they are cool, and they can do this in CC and that in CC and are so awesome if they were a food they would be 7 layer chocolate cake cause that's how good they are!!!!"
So what I am saying is....can I get some ideas for what you think is the super cool, useful gamewise, useful point wise, fun and awesome unit from hell. I don't care what god, if I am to start Chaos I need this unit, and then I'll base my army around it. So give me your best. Give your god/army bragging rights for having the awesomest and most useful and most scary unit to face in the game!!!
P.S. Sorry for the rant, I just need help making up my mind. By the way after work I am so getting the codex, I'm all wound up about it now!
