1.5k Chaos Space Marines – Skulltakers
Posted: Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:31 pm
Well I have recently accepted a challenge to start and paint a themed 1.5k Chaos Space Marine force within two weeks of purchasing the first models. This challenge has come about from my reputation for how quickly I painted (and, according to my friend, "painted well") my LotR Isengard and WHFB Asrai armies. This will be my first 40k army although I do have a few games under my built from borrowing one of my friend's army so I have a basic understanding of the game system.
Right from the start I want to keep the army affordable and the model count reasonable. I'm thinking about going with a Khorne themed force (the Skulltakers legion to be precise) so here is what I came up with:
Skulltakers
HQ
Chaos Lord [140]
– Mark of Khorne – Bloodfeeder
Elite
Possessed Chaos Space Marine x9 [264]
– Khorne Icon
Chosen Chaos Space Marine x10 [280]
– Khorne Icon – Meltagun – Plasma Gun – Plasma Gun – Plasma Gun – Plasma Gun
Troop
Chaos Space Marine x10 [195]
– Khorne Icon – Meltagun – Flamer
Khorne Berzerker x8 [243]
– Skull Champion – Power Fist
– Chaos Rhino
Khorne Berzerker x8 [243]
– Skull Champion – Power Fist
– Chaos Rhino
Heavy Support
Chaos Predator [135]
– Turret-mounted Twin-linked Lascannon – Heavy Bolter Sponsons
[1,500] Points
I am curious to know how competitive this list will be against the other stuff that is out there. My region has a lot of Space Marine (surprise surprise) and Eldar players.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed!
