Dark Mechanicus (Lord of Change and DOG List)

So after a few more games with the Great Unclean One I have finally given up on him. 

He is too slow and doesn’t allow me to reach out against the heavy fire power lists, so in comes the Lord of Change.
The Lord of Change has speed, resilience, damage output and through psychic powers helps out the rest of my army. The biggest problem I was finding was how to make him in my Dark Mechanicus style. But fresh from the painting table here he is with a few work in progress shots as well. Hope you like.

Dark Mechanicus (Chaos Marines Troop Review Part 1)

Hi guys this week I will be running through the normal Troops section of the chaos codex and how I see them being used.

Chaos Space Marines

At 13 pts each they look like a great deal on paper compared with their more expensive imperial counterparts however there are several reasons for this. The main being they don’t have ATSKNF which is a big deal. The other reasons are they can’t combat squad so this reduces flexibility in scoring and kill point missions, and they don’t have combat tactics.

Dark Mechanicus (Chaos Marine Special Characters + Hobby Update)

So last time I talked about Chaos Marine HQ's but you can’t finish looking at HQ options without looking at some of the big boys with a back story. To start with I think most of the Chaos Special Characters are well pointed none stupidly over pointed and none obviously under pointed like we have seen in a few of the 5th ed books Cough.." Coteaz "

So let’s get on with it.

Abaddon The Despoiler
He is the official boss man of this codex, weighing in at more points than a land raider you would expect him to be good.  


First of all let’s look at the hitting power he has. He has the option of two weapons to use, The Talon of Horus an AP3, reroll to wound, 2x strength lightning claw. Or His Daemon sword that gives him an extra d6 attacks +1 strength and an AP of 2, this all comes in with a stat line including WS 7 and I 6.

Dark Mechanicus (Chaos Marines HQ review)

So as I start to rebuild my Dark Mechanicus as a more fitting Chaos Marine list, I will try to take you through my thought process looking at units in the chaos codex and how I can use them to build a competitive/ themed army for the UK tournament scene in 6th Ed.

Chaos HQ's

The Champion of Chaos Rule:
This is something to bear in mind to start with if you are going for a combat lord. Anyone with this rule must challenge if in combat. This can be bad as your opponent can use this in some situations.

Chaos Lord

A solid choice, as he is cheap and has fearless as standard. He can be useful without any Mark of Chaos, if you want as he is able to join units of any god. The other big thing about the Chaos Lord is that he unlocks Cult troops as a troop choice. The main use of this seems to be either Nurgle to unlock Plague Marines, or a Slaanesh lord to unlock Noise Marines.

How would I Equip Him...?
