Hey, going to be testing out Chaos for the first time and wanted a bit of advice on this list. I know there is no air cover, but I don't have the minis for it yet. Worried it might be too heavy with infantry, could drop the daemons for more tanks but I really want to see how well they work this time out.

5 Chosen (Chaos Warlord) 325pts
Black Legion Retinue (Chaos Lord, Bererkers, Daemonic Pact, 6 Rhinos) 510pts
Black Legion Retinue (Sorceror Lord, 3 Obliterators, Daemonic Pact) 525pts
Daemon Host (Bloodthirster, 12 Lesser Daemons (Bloodletters & Flamers)) 340pts
Armoured Company (2 Land Raiders/2 Predators) 250pts
2 Decimators 450pts
Feral Titan 300pts
Feral Titan 300pts
Total: 3000pts

Field the decimators individually - better chance of surviving deathstrike attacks and a better chance of breaking to get the additional 2 move charge forward. With 1+ init and saving the reroll its a good tactic to close the range quickly when you need to - don't forget to keep the 3dc we out of line of fire of the nasty at stuff though!

Plus it gets you another activation.

It's impossible to summon a greater daemon without a Champion to boost summoning points.  Even with a Champion, there is a fair chance fo failure and most people opt to take an Icon Bearer to keep the GD on the field, rather than having to re-summon it each turn.


Either add the kit to summon it, or switch to something else.

Cheers for pointing that out, had originally planned to get a death wheel as well, but splitting the tanks is a better use.

Whoops, didn't even check that...guess I'll switch the greater daemon for some more predators or maybe another chosen.
