Chaos...

[GamingPunk]

So I have a question because I have wanted to start a chaos army (both astartes and guard) and am torn between a tzeentch style army (with my own background set up) OR an undivided and just design the entire army from the ground up (which when I think about it sounds more apealing)

any thoughts?

by the by already play both IG and SM so... time for some mean spiky guys. its that or the new DE codex is coming so...

Bad news on the DE dex. you are looking at at least a year if not a year and a half for that bad boy.

As for the Chaos... I am a bit biased towards Tzeentch at the moment. Though I have played Death Gaurd(nurgle) in the past. I love the Tzeentch models and the rules are pretty sweet. AP 3 Bolters with 4+ invunerable save is always nice.

My suggestion would be to read up as much as you can on Chaos and go from there. There is no reason you can't use the rules for Tzeentch, but make up your own chapter.

Just my two cents,

i would actually do both gaming punk, like u could do a Thousand sons army and then u could build an undivided army from the ground up, but thats just me,

[GamingPunk]

thanks both.
I need more money but I'll most liuely buy teh new codex to start looking at a list.

I need to move so money is abit tight. and having jsut ordered DKoK models I need to save a little bit.

Tzeentch is tough and shooty but slow (with fearless units in the form of 1k Sons), whilst Undivided has more options and has a nice re-roll morale if you take Icons of Chaos Glory.

Bah I say... mount them in rhinos. Move 12" then disembark and still shoot 24" with AP 3 bolters! that is a sweet little deal if you ask me. not to mention the sorcerer in each squad can get the pysicic power that is 24" range St4 Ap3 Assult 3. And before you try and find a flaw in my plan, es they can shoot when they disembark. The slow and purposeful rule states that they are always considered to be stationary when they shoot.

well yeah if you give something a transport it wont be slow, but for your usual ground pounders the Tzentch cult troops are the slowest ones around.

[masterofweirdness]

I like undivided because the best (IHMO) unit in the entire CSM army is the Standard CSM Squad.

What I can I say? I like CSM.

Not to mention I think Thousand Sons are too expesnive points wise. Don't ask why, but I don't like the idea of a single wound sorceror in every single one of my troop squads.

If I were to get a cult unit appart from my plaguemarines it'd be Noise Marines or 'zerkers... never Ksons.

[GamingPunk]

it'll be highly based on the fluff (is it just me or does that make it sound stupid?) So I'll need to design the legion.

If you like shooty, Tzeentch is the way to go. Plus they are tough. I suggest making your own warband, with some 1kSons sprinkled in.

[Astral Claw 126]

I say go 1k Sons. You can do nasty things with them. AP3 bolters HURT

[Dragoon King]

I'd like to see someone do Tzeentch based army with lots of Oblits and shooty Termies, and some Daemons and Spawn.
