Tomorrow is the day. I face 40K combat for the first time as a... Chaos Space Marine player. What a turn around. For months I've been defending the Imperium (well trying to anyway) with my Grey Knights and now I'll be playing for the other team...
So it will be a 2,000 point battle and I know I will probably be facing IG - though no idea what type of IG list. My opponent knows I'll be using Chaos Space Marines, so I can expect some plasma, melta and probably some psychic defense.
What I'll be bringing to the table is listed below. This is not an ideal list, but does have a sampling of a lot of things I'm liking in the new Codex and so I'm looking to learn some things about how these units actually work in-game. As such, while I'm not going to try to lose, I'm also not expecting to win. I do expect however I'll have fun and figure some things out for my own on what I like and don't like about the units in this list and move on from there. I'll report on the battle tomorrow night or Sunday.
Here's the list:
| Chaos Lord (hikes w/Noise Marines, is the Warlord) |
| Veterans of the long war |

It's more or less my standard IG army, same one I used for the CAGE match, with obvious modifications for 6th ed.
For instance, Meltavets have been upgraded to Grey Hunters with Meltaguns, an AC team and 2 AC sentinals were dropped for a Rune Priest and Sly Marbo and I cut my Commissar infantry blob. So really it's a whole different list, but also kinda the same.
