starting a 40k chaos army advice

Postby Cuv » Fri Aug 10, 2012 3:38 pm

hello all

a mate of mine i went to school with is interested in collecting 40k again as i have also restarted last year.

he is thinking chaos is the way forward from him and was asking me advice about how i think he should start. honestly i havent a clue about chaos at all.

he was telling me he wants lucius and abbadon definatly but i was wondering if any of you chaos enthusiasts might be able to help me better direct him.

i recommended maybe building up a base of troops choices but again no idea of chaos choices.

other things he mentioned were noise marines and plague marines.

plus i have recommended he waits for the new starter set in September for the small rulebook, templates etc. and if speculation is true also the new chaos codex is out soon.

all help will be greatly appreciated

if hes talking bout noise marines and plagues tell him to wait for the new codex because if the rumours are true its going to be lord = troop choice unlock e.g. lord of nurgle = plague marines count as troops rest as elites (or whatever they will be in the new codex) i personally went with a neutral army and if the rumours about the new boxset is right he will have a decent sized army (dark angels + chaos = lots of fallen renegade marines) right off the bat unless they throw something cheesy like a landspeeder in for the dark angels which chaos cant use (boo hiss)

You have given him the best advice, wait for the new codex and starter set.

Agreed.

The starter box is rumoured to appear in Sept, and contains ...
20 cultists (conscript style rabble)
6 chosen
Lord
Hellbrute (apparently some form of dreadnought)

10 tacticals
5 termies
3 characters

Chaos codex in October.

New models for both Lucius and Abbadon (Abbadoomed/Abbadonnerkebab).

Plague marines to gain poisoned ccw attacks and gain throwable blight grenades that slow enemy movement (+ added goodies for defensive grenades, I would assume).

Noise marine weapons getting r36" salvo, ignore cover.

All rumours, mind.
