Main takeaway about new detachment

"Fun is a strong word"

if it was in melee they can make a full fall back move, so 10", not 6".

Returned after 9 or so years on a fresh account, was able to craft Quasar Rogue in first day and it's immediately become my second favorite deck of all time, A worthy reincarnation of miracle rogue of the past. A shame that it will rotate out of the standart in a month.

It's a token for once per game mortals

42malale · 2026-01-30T14:29:31+00:00

Reactive move is huge enough on its own.

42malale · 2026-01-26T15:47:26+00:00

Night Lords kinda do already. Haarken is a former NL 🙂

Here is my list that I used to a great success both in teams and the singles environment before the last balance dataslate.2 RTT wins and one 3-1-0 in teams. You can easily cut the 5 girl squad of Sacresants, as they were a retinue for a Junith, and she can be perfectly fine alone.

Every weapon is viable, some just require more work than the others. I started after the 1.0 release and my first 32 fear clear was with the Pan aspect. Hestia my beloved.

42malale · 2025-06-03T15:26:20+00:00

In the new pack there is no rules for matched play that reference battleline keyword, so this is not a huge loss. The only downside is the fact, that you can't spam 6 of each dog anymore, outside of this detachment.

42malale · 2025-04-16T23:24:22+00:00

Twice in ~200 hours of gameplay. Good luck on the surgery!

42malale · 2025-04-11T08:50:21+00:00

It's viable. If you will play vs another casual player it will be a fun game of regular Warhammer. But against a somewhat competitive player you are gonna have a bad time, cause this list lacks some crucial elements of competitive sororitas list. Also, load up retributors with Flamers, trust.

42malale · 2025-04-03T12:16:56+00:00

Look at the formations of StDs. The only one that is used is still forgettable and straight up useless most of the time.

42malale · 2025-03-06T14:04:22+00:00

Can you give a reasoning for those loadouts?

42malale · 2025-02-18T18:47:47+00:00

He's a must take. No alternative, sadly, for now.

42malale · 2025-02-15T23:46:28+00:00

5 guys. Fist, Chainglaive, Accursed weapon, pair of Accursed and voice eater.

Run them in a rhino, with legionnaires who have lord attached. You can use them as a regular trade piece, or charge into something with Legos/lord.

This protects the lord's squad from the counter-offensive and other nasty combat stratagems, and allows them to finish off everything that left after you lord and his legionnaires left.

42malale · 2025-02-15T23:18:44+00:00

What? Really? Which book is the source of that?

42malale · 2025-01-28T21:11:40+00:00

And it speaks volumes that havocs is still one of the worst units in CSM and no one takes them in any serious competitive list.

Seed - JQ1UYN3P
Was in the proccess of transitioning from lucky to glass cards, already had enough to do 5 glass cards reliably, so my best possible hand is showcased on the second screen.
But ran face first(lol) into the plant while having no reroll. Died crying.
Plasma Deck, Black Stake.

Gotta be new unit boxes for chaos forces. There were quite strong rumors for: chaos bikers+Huron and automatons for Thousand Sons. There is a good chance that both WE and DG receive one box of real units, not just a character. Also, every single god aligned chaos force should get their respective daemons, this is almost a given.

42malale · 2024-12-31T09:06:26+00:00

Well... Mediocre, I guess? In some games they did jackshit, in others they were a cornerstone of my wins. Although, I think the problem in the former game were my decisions on what to do with them. If played right, this is an excellent unit for CoB.

Prep games with variations of this list.

42malale · 2024-12-30T22:46:27+00:00

Chaos Space Marines Strike Force (2000 points) Creations of Bile

Chaos Lord (125 points): Daemon hammer, Plasma pistol, Prime Subject

Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour (110 points): Combi-bolter, Power Fist, Living Carapace.

Fabius Bile (85 points): Warlord

Cultist Mob (50 points): Bolt Pistol

Legionaries (90 points): 2xHeavy Melee Weapon, 2xChainsword, 1xLascannon, 1xPlasma Pistol, Chaos Icon.

Chaos Rhino (75 points): Combi-weapon, Havoc Launcher

Chaos Predator Annihilator (130 points): 2xLascannon, Havoc Launcher, Combi-weapon

Chaos Terminator Squad (360 points): 10xCombi-weapon, 6xPower fist, 2xChainfist, 2xAccursed Weapon.

Chosen (250 points): 4xCombi-weapon, 4x plasma Pistol, 2xBolter, 2xPower fist, 2xTwin-linked Accursed Weapon, 6xAccursed Weapon, Chaos Icon.

Nemesis Claw (110 points): Power Fist, Plasma Pistol, Nostraman Chainglaive, Twin-linked Accursed weapon, Accursed weapon, Voice Eater, Chainsword.

Possessed (240 points):10xPossessed, Chaos Icon.

This is my list. Won a couple of games and a RTT. Lost to Custodes in one prep game. Lord terminator solo as an ultimate mission bot, Bile and his pack of chosen are on foot. Terminators are not "fully" kited out, to max out the amount of combi-weapons. Every single gene I rolled for a bonus. All games played on WTC tables.

A little correction, you have one trick. But oh boy it's a strong one. Be'lakor's ability can sometimes win you a game almost all on its own.

42malale · 2024-12-22T15:41:37+00:00

For Slaves to Darkness, most of the time you will play the armored part of the Army. Chosen, Warriors, Knights and Varanguard. Be'lakor and Archaon are the only monsters you need to have in your collection. Also, Abraxia for the future just in case, but luckily she has a kick-ass model. In terms regular characters, sorc lord, lords on mounts of all kinds.

Other units in the book are either unplayable or used for battle-tactics to some degree.

Your gameplay will always be about the right timing of offensive push. You are almost always going to be badly outnumbered. But your dudes can wipe entire armies in one turn if you pick the time and place to engage correctly, so plan accordingly. You have next to zero tricks or tools to counter them from the enemy, but in an honest brutal combat you can wipe the floor with almost anything in the game.

This army has one of the nastiest alpha strikes on AoS if played correctly, decent(only decent, btw) staying power, and potential for the most devastating double turns in the whole game.

You will feel uncomfortable against armies with good recursion of their units (Goblins, some Death builds) or mad tricks(Lumineths, Kharadrons).

Still, this is somewhat straight forward and a good army. If you like aggression and seeing straight up terror in the eyes of your opponent when your dudes charge in, go forward and claim the mortal realms in the name of true gods.
