Slight update, pregame musings

Got down and dirty with the obie, some final touchups and basing to do, then this one is pretty much done. Not too shabby for my first (real) conversion.

He will get his first blood on sunday in a 1750 matchup between my CSM and my friend Jocke's Blood Angels. A friendly game to the death. We recently decided to try and only play 100% painted and WYSIWYG, both as an incentive to just f*cking finish your army, and because playing against a grey plastic ork counting as Lysander is bullshit. Good for Jocke, because he has finished his army (and with speed too!), less so for me. I have the points, sure, but not the list I want to play. I tried to make up for the lack of decent Heavy Support and AT units with a (kinda) tailored list versus MEQ

My list for sunday, not very competetive, but it's all painted at least.

1 Daemon Prince (HQ) @ 155 Pts
Mark of Slaanesh; CC Weapon (x1); Wings
Lash of Submission [20]
(would typically not use this classic combo, but I got a really creepy looking custom DP from Jocke to use, so it must be done!)

1 Chaos Sorcerer (HQ) @ 170 Pts
Mark of Tzeentch; Force Weapon; Combi-Bolter
Terminator Armour [10]
Warptime [25] (probably the worst choice in this list, but I wanted an HQ to roll with my terminator unit)

4 Chaos Terminators (Elites) @ 185 Pts
Mark of Slaanesh; Icon Bearer; Chainfist (x1); Lightning Claw (x3);
Combi-Melta (x1); Lightning Claw (x3)
(MoS is a cheap way to dampen furious charge from Jockes BA and to keep hitting first, I would typically take Khorne instead but when I can tailor to MEQ, why not)

1 Chaos Dreadnought (Elites) @ 130 Pts
Front Armour: 12; Side Armour: 12; Rear Armour: 10; Dreadnought CCW;
w/Heavy Flamer; TL Lascannons
(I should probably put this guy on the bench, always underperforms, and "Crazed" can be a pain, but meh. I like Dreads!)

8 Plague Marines (Troops) @ 287 Pts

Mark of Nurgle; ; Blight Grenades; Bolt Pistol (x8); CC Weapon (x8);
Bolter (x6); Plasma Gun (x2); Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades

1 Plague Champion @ [73] Pts
Blight Grenades; Mark of Nurgle; Bolt Pistol (x1); Power Fist (x1);
Bolter; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades; Meltabombs; Personal Icon
(this is the only proxy unit, will use regular CSM instead of my WIP Death Guard )

9 Chaos Space Marines (Troops) @ 260 Pts
Mark of Khorne; Icon Bearer; Bolt Pistol (x9); CC Weapon (x9); Bolter
(x8); Flamer (x1); Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades

1 Aspiring Champion @ [55] Pts
Mark of Khorne; Bolt Pistol (x1); Power Fist (x1); Bolter; Frag
Grenades; Krak Grenades
(should probably move some points around and get these guys a melta or two)
1 Chaos Rhino @ [35] Pts


9 Chaos Space Marines (Troops) @ 265 Pts
Mark of Khorne; Icon Bearer; Bolt Pistol (x9); CC Weapon (x9); Bolter
(x7); Meltagun (x2); Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades

1 Aspiring Champion @ [45] Pts
Mark of Khorne; Bolt Pistol (x1); Power Weapon (x1); Bolter; Frag
Grenades; Krak Grenades

1 Chaos Rhino @ [35] Pts


17 Summoned Lesser Demons (Troops) @ 221 Pts
CC Weapon (x17)(odd choice you might say, but these are always fun to drop like a rotten meat blocker to keep a forward objective)

1 Obliterator Cult (Heavy Support) @ 75 Pts
Power Fist; Lascannon; Multi-Melta; Plasma Cannon; TL Flamer; TL Meltagun;
TL Plasma Gun
(GOGO Trollerator!, optimally, I would use these in squads of two, and deepstrike for mid/short range tank hunting and maybe plasma dump against MEQ)


Total Army Cost: 1748
