Warhammer 40k - Chaos Space Marines Terminators (2019)

Product Information

How are you looking to load out your chaos terminators given the new points? What would you suggest for the above role? You can include RUBRIC MARINES units in a CSM Detachment, using their datasheet from Codex: Thousand Sons, in which case they are always Elites, their faction keywords become CHAOS, TZEENTCH, HERETIC ASTARTES, TRAITORIS ASTARTES, and . If you do this they get Let the Galaxy Burn , have to be upgraded to have the Mark of Tzeentch, and never get a Legion Trait.

Psychic Utility. Four guys with chainswords or bolters (it doesn’t really matter), and one with a balefire tome and Prescience. This unit is out there to provide some extra value where needed while Advancing to hold objectives and support other units. You will typically also give this unit the Mark of Slaanesh so it has access to Delightful Agonies. Although a bit expensive for a transport, the Chaos Terrax-Pattern Termite makes up for it by being a hilariously annoying target once it arrives on the table, demanding opponents deal with it as well as its deadly contents. Its 5-shot melta cutter is a significant threat to anything it comes near, and its Termite Drill will absolutely shred enemy vehicles on top of its shooting. Its ability to deep strike and drop off 12 models is great to have, particularly for Emperor’s Children armies that can use Honour the Prince to make sure an arriving unit can immediately complete a charge. You also don’t have to put it into deep strike – it’s tough enough that if you’re taking multiples they can just roll forward against some armies and weather the damage, though how much you can get away with this will vary wildly by army.Each mark confers certain abilities on the unit, based on the mark and their equipment. You can find more on the math behind the marks and how they affect play in our Hammer of Math article on the topic. The only small drop pod the Chaos Marines have access to. The Imperial Armour Compendium updated these to be 115 points and be able to arrive on the battlefield turn 1. With the most recent FAQ updates, the passengers can now get out of them the turn they arrive on the table. This is a huge upgrade in value for Dreadclaws, which now give you a relatively inexpensive way to put your units in reserves and drop them on the table turn 1. It’s particularly valuable in Emperor’s Children, where you can almost guarantee a charge out of deep strike with Honour The Prince, but there are plenty of other units you might want to put forward, like Havocs, Noise Marines, or Obliterators. On the other side of things, Masters of Possession have access to the Malefic discipline, which is mostly buffs for Legion DAEMONKIN units. Once an also-ran to the Dark Hereticus Discipline, these are now the money powers for Chaos, and there are several here that you’ll want to include in every army you field. As a unit, Cultists are fragile and they don’t shoot or fight particularly well. They have insanely low Leadership (6 with a champion), and so will likely lose models any time they take casualties. They aren’t worth spending points to upgrade, and you’ll almost never want to expose them to blast weapons by making them units of 11+. This has made me wonder, do we just forego chainaxes now and build whatever options are also 0 points? Do we bring in 5-pt power fists?

The monofaction bonus for Chaos Space Marines, if every unit from your army has the TRAITORIS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF CHAOS and UNALIGNED models), and every unit from your army is from the same Legion (except for Abaddon), then you get these rules: That said, you want to make sure your strike is considered – the last thing you want to do is feed your army to your opponent piecemeal. Keep your units grouped effectively, look for opportunities to trade up when you have to sacrifice a piece, and try to avoid outrunning your coverage or leaving your rear too exposed to deep striking threats. Your army will typically have a lot of strong melee threats but a savvy opponent can still divide and conquer those individually if you aren’t careful. Souping with Daemons and Chaos Knights Three of the legion’s finest are teleporting into action wearing mighty suits of Terminator armour, presenting a real danger to even the Ultramarines’ huge Invictor Warsuits. Chaos Terminators stand in high respect to the Chaos gods. Many of them are Aspiring Champions although often the only way to acquire terminator armor is to kill the previous owner. They usually form the bodyguard of the highest ranking leaders or Champions and are often seen enforcing the will of their patron. Often they abuse their position, intimidating other members of the warband, while many simply see them as a vision to strive towards, one day assuming the mantle of Terminator themselves. The Current 4th Generation (2019)Being a melee combattant. This is typically done by giving him the Mark of Nurgle and G’Holl’Ax, the Decayed, which significantly improves his melee prowess by letting him bypass the wound roll, ensuring he’ll typically dump out 6-7 hits per combat that autowound and hit at AP-3, 3 damage each. The standard Chaos Terminator armament is a Combi-Bolter and a Power Weapon which can be upgraded to either a Power Fist or Chainfist. In addition, Terminators may also take a Reaper Autocannon or Heavy Flamer in place of their Combi-Bolter. The Combi-bolter itself can be configured to function as either a Combi-Meltagun, Combi-Plasma Gun or Combi-Flamer. [1b] The armament of the Heretic Astartes differs little from that of the Loyalist Space Marines. They possess the same primary weapons: Bolter, Bolt Pistol, various heavy weapons, knife, sword or axe; but some also possess thousands of standard years of combat experience, which turn these warriors into nigh-unstoppable killing machines. Still harder to get than you’d like, Obliterators are tough, versatile fire support on units that can absolutely also dish out a beating in melee. Whether teleporting in or walking up the table, they can reliably put out some solid shots, though they’re much more effective against smaller targets where their Warp Hail firing mode (D6+9 shots) can let them casually wipe units off the table than they are when it comes to firing heavier modes, though even their focused shots throwing out D3 S9 Ap-3 4 damage shots each are nothing to sneeze at. Overall Obliterators are very good but not amazing and just don’t really make the cut in most competitive lists, particularly because you can just punch things to death and in part because they’re slow and expensive.
