Lone's Dream Army [Mental Checklist]

[loneangelic]

So, for my own reference and for everyone to see here what I plan on obtaining for my full sized collection of CSM I will place here a sort of checklist of what I want to obtain, and what I have. Of course I have nothing yet but maybe this will help motivate me, also if anyone has any tips on what I could better do to make obtaining it cheaper, or maybe changes to the army-layout or anything please let me know!

Also this whole idea is based around a set theme I have in my head... Also, based off of several readings about what is smart and what is tactical on the table top for the CSM.

Everyone, say hello to my Lost Brothers [The Zombie Chapter]

Zombie Space Marines! (Plague Marines for those of you who don't get it.)

Got it set up and prioritized so I can take out what is least needed and adjust fire when doing smaller scale battles.

Hey Terry. Nice use of Army Builder here. Only a couple things I'd like to add to your list.

1. Most of the time you can only have a max of 2 Headquarters choices. I'd suggest you drop one of the DP's of Nurgle. This will give you an extra 130 points to distribute around for the following changes.

2. Give that other DP of Nurgle Warptime and wings. This will allow him to keep up with the Khorne Berzerkers and get stuck in the mix with re-rolls of wounds on those higher toughness targets (Nid monstorous creatures). So that's 45 of the 130 extra points.

3. Speaking of Khorne Berzerkers, with such small numbers (8-nod to the old number of the gods) you may want to give that Champion something to deal with higher toughness targets as well, like a power fist. We're up to 70 of the 130 extra points.

4. I'd like to suggest you add in one elites squad, so to do that I recommend you drop one of the Oblits for the extra points you need bringing us back up to an extra 135 points, but we're going to need a little more. So drop the Aspiring Chump on the Havocs, along with the Autocannon trading it for another Heavy Bolter instead bringing up the total to 3. That gives us 155 points to play with.

5. Add a squad of Chaos Terminators x 4 in the mix to escort Typhus around and generally cause pain. Give one of them a Chainfist, and all of them Combi-Weapons (melta is prefered) to deal with vehicles and other such nonsense.

This will give you some flexibility to deal with more as you go along. Typhus is one of the better HQ choices for the codex and Nurgle Marines make great objective holders. Obliterators are usually run in squads of two, Havocs are usually not used, but I applaude your use of them and I'm sure they'll prove themselves.

One last thing, GW doesn't allow websites to post up points costs of models so I deleted those for you.

Sweet, I will be re-reading through the Codex again and will make another pass on my army tonight! I can't friggen WAIT! to get this build going! You have no idea how excited I am!

[loneangelic]

Updated the roster!

The Icon in the Termie unit is nice, but I'd consider trading Rhino for the Berzerkers and a Combi Melta for the plain jane terminator. Big things are going to be shooting and going after that squad and you won't have much use for the extra toughness. You'll need the Rhino, especially with such a small Berzerker squad. It's both a delivery and protection system, if even just for one turn.

I like seeing a Plague Marine Nurgle army though...

Should make for some *very* interesting play.
