A lot of people may be wondering, “what if I only want set 3, or set’s 1 & 4?” Well unfortunately with this type of subscription it’s pretty muc Most Chaos Space Marine psykers have access to the Dark Hereticus discipline, which has declined in power with the new codex. The upside to this is that more units in your army now have access to this Discipline, thanks to Malefic Tomes in squads of Legionaires. Note that a unit with the CULTISTS or LEGIONAIRES keyword can only take the first three powers in this list, which will typically means you’re taking a single unit with Prescience to get access to that power.

If you’re taking the Master of Executions, chances are you want him to have the Mark of Slaanesh so he can fight first after intervening. This turns him into an especially deadly counter-charge threat, as staying more than 6” away from him is a real challenge. Traitor Enforcer This is probably the best of the Chaos Space Marine secondary objectives and even at its best it’s just so-so. Its value is largely tied to your characters, your ability to keep them alive, and their ability to destroy enemy units in melee. Your biggest obstacle for scoring this objective is that you have a very limited number of characters in your army to do this with – 3 HQs, possibly Abaddon, and however many Masters of Execution you’re going to take. One of those is probably a Master of Possession, and you won’t be fighting with him, which leaves at most 2-4 characters to work with. Only melee kills count, and against the armies that offer you lots of said juicy targets, you’ll often have Bring it Down or Assassination to turn to instead. As always, a guide like this represents a time and place. This was written in December 2022, after the release of Codex: Chaos Space Marines for 9th edition.Abaddon’s got the benefit of all four marks of Chaos, plus a 4+ invulnerable save and he can’t take more than 3 wounds per phase. Add this to a 2+ save and Armour of Contempt and you’ve got a model that is stupid hard to kill. And that’s good because he’s perfectly capable of acting alone, walking across the table and murdering things with Drach’nyen, a S9, AP-4, 3-damage blade that does an extra D3 mortals every time it rolls a 6 to wound. He can kill pretty much anything in the game in melee, and if you can avoid getting shot he can be near-impossible to remove once he’s dug in, especially if you can heal him with something like Pact of Flesh. As a unit, Cultists are fragile and they don’t shoot or fight particularly well. They have insanely low Leadership (6 with a champion), and so will likely lose models any time they take casualties. They aren’t worth spending points to upgrade, and you’ll almost never want to expose them to blast weapons by making them units of 11+. The monofaction bonus for Chaos Space Marines, if every unit from your army has the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF CHAOS and UNALIGNED models), and every unit from your army is from the same Legion (except for Abaddon), then you get these rules: On the other side of things, Masters of Possession have access to the Malefic discipline, which is mostly buffs for Legion DAEMONKIN units. Once an also-ran to the Dark Hereticus Discipline, these are now the money powers for Chaos, and there are several here that you’ll want to include in every army you field.

This is a great-value box set that gives you an immediate collection of fantastic Chaos Space Marines miniatures, which you can assemble and use right away in games of Warhammer 40,000! You�ll receive a ten-man set of Chaos Space Marines, a Chaos Terminator Lord and a Chaos Helbrute.That said, you want to make sure your strike is considered – the last thing you want to do is feed your army to your opponent piecemeal. Keep your units grouped effectively, look for opportunities to trade up when you have to sacrifice a piece, and try to avoid outrunning your coverage or leaving your rear too exposed to deep striking threats. Your army will typically have a lot of strong melee threats but a savvy opponent can still divide and conquer those individually if you aren’t careful. Souping with Daemons and Chaos Knights

Both the Traitor Guardsmen Squad and Fellgor Beastmen units make the leap from the skirmish game Warhammer 40k Kill Team in the new Index. Traitor Guardsmen’s ‘Twisted Defence force’ ability grants them the Benefit of Cover while they’re within range of an objective marker, and they have a healthy OC2. Fellgor Beastmen are more dedicated to clearing objectives: they get a 6″ Scouts move after deployment, and get +2″ to Charge rolls when targeting enemies holding objectives. Chaos itself has existed in the setting as long as sentient beings have drawn breath, but for Chaos Space Marines we have to look instead to three select individuals: the Emperor, Warmaster Horus Lupercal, and Lorgar, Primarch of the Word Bearers legion. You can’t have more Cultists units in your army’s Chaos Space Marines Detachments than Traitoris Astartes CORE INFANTRY, and a Cultists character can’t be your warlord if your army contains any HERETIC ASTARTES CHARACTER models. This baffling rule prevents you from overdoing it on Cultists, a thing no one is worried about. It makes even less sense with a Cultist HQ, as it seems like an all-cultist army should be possible. Legion TraitsFor your additional Troops units, either add in a second unit or two of Chaos Space Marines for some heavier firepower or even some Chaos Cultists to hold objectives and protect your deployment zone.*** Possessed are deadly, daemon-infused monstrosities. Although no longer usable without additional Possessed, these are still great models, and are perfect for adding variety to the rest of your Possessed unit. They are simple to build, each is four or five parts, and create very dynamic and detailed models. They are also perfect for practicing different painting skills on, for each contains a good mix of flesh, bone, and armour. Today, we’re looking at a few examples of how you can add to these units to help turn your set into a thematic Battalion Detachment ready to join your wider collection or engage in larger battles as an army in its own right.
