Guess its just Icon of Khorne on those regular chaos marines and not Icon and Mark Of Khorne. (the last isnt even an option for them).
The icon gives them the mark that way when the icon barer dies, if I’m right I think they lose it.

i actually disagree with how tough the plauge marines are, even though they’re toughness, 5 fnp, they’re useless when holding an objective out in the open, i have been facing opponents thats been packing weapons, that would be eating through the the plauge marines, krak missles, lance spam, wound overload. i fought dark eldar, the player popped the plauge marine’s transport, they were caught in de open for the rest of the lances to slice through the marine, now when i played my 1k sons, they were caught in the open and saved every lance hit cause of thier 4… Read more »
that list is shit!
so I guess your not so keen on the selections then? cos your being a bit vague re your opinion 😉
Too be honest it depends how they are used and what your fighting
dont forget when using lash due to the new updates you must role to hit after passing the physic test
Lash IS a shooting attack, as of the latest FAQ.
I think whats often overlooked is that this appears to be a nicely themed “World Eaters” or “Khorne” army. However, while chaos space marines with a mark get access to those meltaguns and plasmagun, plus bolters… if you’re going to rely on those, you’re wasting points on a bearer that can potentially be killed. Plus, leaving aside that Plague marines may be good but probably don’t fit this guys theme… I see no reason whatsoever why (at least one of) those squads aren’t berzerkers. Ok, no guns. But one important thing that can’t be overlooked… Furious Charge.
Oh and plasma and melta should almost always be doubled up or grouped in squads. You don’t want to have to face a trade off… rapid fire my plasma and bolters, or fire pistols and melta and charge in. Either way you are wasting those 10 points.
Fare comments mostly. The idea behind this list was as stated Karn with the 9 man squad in the land raider two 10 man in rhinos all pushing up the field with support from the lash prince and Obliterators the 5 termies were just there to make up the points, deep striking in where best suited. In the tournement I used this list in I drew one game against blood angels lost a kill point match 7-8 against guard and lost by one objective against Orks in a capture and control mission when he managed to contest a few objectives… Read more »
As previously mentioned, to tweak your list, like someone above mentioned, double up your weapons, if you want plasma and melta, then one squads packing bolters and plasma, and the other pistols and melta, get rid of the icons of khorne and just take icon of chaos undivided for that chance of bringing in your termies where you want them, if that was part of your goal, or to be honest for the price of your termies I would have just taken another set of oblits or add more pizah to the other sets, and keep the heat on your… Read more »
Hope that helps some.
