d'oh! yes, i could do 2 & 2... but i really have a soft spot for all things gribbly!

i still think your CSM squads are too small to be effective though |
hmmmmm... S8 ap3 has done me well in the past... and that's 30 more pts?! i might try that - 3x rocket launchers + plasma gun. (i'm planning to model this unit as a renegade long fangs pack who have thrown off the shackles of blind dogma in order to follow the true path to enlightenment!)
the smallness of the chaos marine squads is also a background thing; the word bearers were never that large of a legion. they made use of hundreds of thousands of lesser 'auxilleries' comprised of those humans they rallied to their cause. they'd use these lesser troops as fodder while the few actual marines stayed back for the most part and did their work with bolt shell & flame!
so now they use daemons as expendable shock troops while they gun down the pitiful survivors!
oh well, looks like a wee bit more tinkering!
cheers!
