Chaos Army - developing the coalition of the willing

So the core of my CSM army is the purple spearhead.  I realise that sounds a bit risque, but I suppose it's Slanneshi army, so its to be expected...


This picture is more or less the whole bunch, which looks like this:

3rd Element  Emperor’s Children
HQ                                          Deamon Prince, Deamon Sword, Power Armour
Elite                                       10 Noise Marines, Champion with Power Sword and fist, Blastmaster, 3x sonic blaster, heavy bolter.
Elite                                       12 Noise Marines, Champion, Blastmaster, 3x sonic blaster, missile launcher.
Fast Attack                          2 Spawn (Bill and Ted)
Elite                                       Sonic Dreadnaught, TL Master Blasters, CCW
Heavy Support                  Predator, Autocannon, HB Sponsons, Pintle Storm Bolter
Heavy Support                  Predator, Autocannon, HB Sponsons, Pintle Storm Bolter
Heavy Support                  Predator, Autocannon, HB Sponsons, havoc launcher
Heavy Support                  Predator, TL Laser cannon, Laser Cannon Sponsons, Pintle Storm Bolter
Heavy Support                  Predator, TL Laser cannon, Laser Cannon Sponsons, Pintle Storm Bolter, Doom Sirens
Heavy Support                  Predator, TL Laser cannon, Laser Cannon Sponsons, Havoc Launcher
Heavy Support                  Defiler, Hvy Flamer
Heavy Support                  Defiler, TL Reaper Autocannon
Heavy Support                  Defiler, Hvy Flamer
Allies
HQ                                          Herald of Slannesh on a Seeker
Troops                                  8x Deamonettes
Fast Attack                          1 beast (counts as fury)
Fast Attack                          3x Land Speeder, Multi-melta and Hvy Flamer

Fast Attack                          Land Speeder Typhoon.


Pict showing the sonic dread anchoring one flank.  The plan for this army was always to have double lash of submission deamon princes in power armour just swanning about the midfield, lashing units out of cover and straight in front of the predators and noise marines.  Good plan eh ?  Yeah, I'll stick with that.  No, wait. sad face - not with this codex.


And another pict with the Deamon Prince.  So this army could have a Chaos Lord added, which, paying the points for the right S&M Club membership, make the Noise Marines troops.  Otherwise I'll need another plan.

    You know me: none of this 'chaos' stuff makes one iota of sense to me...but it looks suitably and terrifyingly purple, that's for sure!

      Specifically here, Admiral, the easiest way of looking at it is with your guard head on. What would you not want any of those toys to do ? You would not want 'zerkers or defilers in your front rank, you would not want the DP to challenge your CCS to a duel, you would not want to face a noise marine firebase, you would not want all of those Preds hunting your armour or the Khorne Termies deep striking adjacent to where the 'zerkers and defilers hit. Once you have that off pat, using a CSM army simply becomes a matter of doing to your opponent what you would not want done to you. EPLS.

    These forces look suspiciously high in points, and suitably terrifying :)

    I'm looking at mine and its mostly PBI.. :)

    did a big terrain build today so just the paint to go now :)

    Cheers gents. I will try to get some more paint on the defilers before they are actually needed. And I'll add up how much this lot comes to (in points); I reckon this'll be the 'main body' of the Coalition of the Willing, even if the HQ plus two comes from the Word Bearers. Or World Nibblers.

    Looking forward to seeing the planet Cannock !
