i would say transports of some sort would be a good idea, so probably a rhino for each squad, and maybe some more bezerkers (another box) to give 3 squads of 8, khorne's favourite number. the transports mean that Khorne's followers can stay alive long enough to find enough milk for his chocolatey cereal and get it back to the throne of skulls in time

Sorry, but that HAS to be sigged. Otherwise, thanks for the help, it's about the same as i've had from other places, get rhinos / raiders, berserkers, assault, etc. any other ideas before i let the thread die? |

a lord in termie armour and another box of termies (making ten) if you put the lord with the termies them on the charge with a demon weapon yo could potentially be getting 39 attacks in combat. |

unless you are khorne through and through, it might be worth picking up a sorcerer as well and making him slaanesh with lash. other than that a small unit of thousand sons usually provides an interesting distraction for most armies, especially marines with their AP3 bolters |

Defiler or daemon prince could also be useful. Also some raptors may come in handy. |

Paint what you have first. ![]() Seriously though, get those done and a few games down and see what you've missing that way. Though more plain Chaos Marines are always good. |

Nothing is better than lots of marines, gives you lots of menouverability (sp). Although, repent to the light of the god emperor and accept his judgement *racks slide on bolt pistol as he says this* |

Ok, I played with a friends army w/ LR, oblits, thousand sons, termies, Abbadon, etc. Its worth noting that it won't be khorne only, it'll be a mixture. The game went well, with Abbadon taking down the Deciever as the highlight of the match. Terminators, sorceror, defiler, dread, LR, 2X rhinos, Thousand sons, Raptors, and some more plain chaos marines are on the list- It's a (very) long term list, and are not necesserily in that order. And don't worry, I will paint the things I'm getting now, seeing as I won't be getting any money after that for a while. |

I think a defiler or raider would be good just to give the army some major pounding firepower and then a special character like abbaddon or huron blackheart or Ahriman of the thousand sons.

Davian, quit going on about a chaos lord w/ termie retinue.It might happen, it might not. An interesting idea, taken into consideration. Ok? Leave it. Character wise, Ahriman and Abbadon are on the list, I like the sound of a chaos Dreadnought as well. Are they good, or do they have a tendency togo nuts and kill your own guys? Also, Defiler, raider and rhinoes are also planned. |

if you use them correctly, chaos dreads are very good, and always bring fun to a battle. just make sure they are always the first thing in your battle line so they cant see any of your troops. a fun conversion idea might be to take the new sanguinary guard and turn them into raptors with a jump pack lord (converted Asorath the grimm maybe)? in my head the idea sounds cool, but im not sure how it would translate to the models |

One Idea could be if you dont want the full metal chaos dread either convert the new space marine venerable dred or order a forgeworld one.

I was planning on converting a venerable dread anyway.
Interesting... hadn't though about it, but i like the idea, though I would need some spare bits (chaos icons, for example) but some dark red angel wings would go well i think. oh, with the money ill be getting soon, rhinos and abbaddon are on the menu. |

Ok, here's how it's looking so far: 20 chaos marines 12 khorne berserkers 4 bikes 5 terminators 3 obliterators kharn the betrayer Abbadon the despoiler 5 Raptors (conversion from the blood angels sanguinery guard) codex Obviously there is a lack of vehicles there, so rhinos and a LR are planned (though when im going to buy them is a mystery- monster hunter tri or two rhinos? i'll start a poll on that) Otherwise, any other things ill need? are noise marines a good idea? I want to know what the people think! |

Thousand sons are good. Maybe some of those. Or possibly a Defiler. |

Just an update... Awaiting arrival of 10 marines and a codex... barring that, here's how the list looks now: HQ: Abbadon, Kharn Elites: 5 terminators, 5 possessed (come in very useful), Dreadnought. Troops: 2X chaos marines 10 man squad (2nd still in transit), 1X khorne berserkers squad (12 man) Fast attack: 4X chaos bikers, 5X raptors (converted form sanguinary guard, as advised earlier in the thread by Brambleten) Heavy support: 3X obliterator cult Ill see how that list works before I buy anything else. |
