Another day another CSM build

And on to my 2nd foray into the 6th edition Chaos space marine codex.

So lets say I don´t fancy using vehicles at all. Lets say I fancy using only infantry. I could do an entire list of only CSM for that. But considering I got a Tau allies force sitting around, why not use them too?

So here goes .....

CSM + Tau foot list 2000 points

Dark Apostle
- gift of mutation, mark of nurgle, meltabombs

Because fearless bubble is awesome and mutations are cool. Remember Blinky?

3x 10 CSM
- 2 plasmaguns, combi-plasma, veterans of the long war

Hard to shift and good at removing MSU MEQ. Can also punch alittle in close combat against marines due to the hatred.

2x 30 Cultists
- 3 flamers

Whats not to like about 60 fearless dudes swamping the midfield with hollering and public nudity?

3x 2 Obliterators
- mark of Nurgle

Because instant killing them just became difficult. And they put out a decent firepower. Just need to remember to move them up behind the horde, since they can´t do lascannons twice in a row and I might want to use their brand new assault cannons.

 

Shas´o                                                                                                                                                                 

- black sun filter, twin linked missile pod, hardwired drone controller, 2 gun drone

2 Shas´vra bodyguards

- twin linked missile pod, drone controller, 4 gun drone

For opening cans.

3 Crisis battlesuits

- Teamleader, 1 hardwired blacksun filter, hardwired drone controllers, 1 bonding knife, twin linked missile pods, 6 gun drone

Another unit for opening cans.

6 Fire warriors

Put these in reserve and run them onto a home objective in cover and have them hide on it.

1 Broadside battlesuit Shas´ui

- drone controller, 2 shield drones 

Threathening the Av 14/13 tanks just became a tiny bit easier.

Thoughts on the list:

Problem with this list are fliers. Solution is to ignore them and remove the enemy presence from the table. Could swap the CSM plasmas for meltas to have a better anti tank presence midfield, not sure on that one. I do think I got enough anti infantry dakka to remove most MEQ´s by sheer number of shots.
