I have two lists I am playing around with for SoCal: a daemon-focused and a Chaos Space Marine/mixed focus. Today let’s take a look at my first list:

HQs:

Be’lakor (Shrouded Step, Wreathed in Shades)

Changecaster (Shrouded Step, Wreathed in Shades, relic: Endless Grimoire: Gaze of Fate)

Sorcerer (Mark of Slaanesh, Delightful Agonies, Prescience)

Troops:

29 Bloodletters (1 Blood reaper, 1 Daemonic Icon (-1CP), 1 Instrument of Chaos)

20 Bloodletters (1 Blood reaper, 1 Daemonic Icon (-1CP), 1 Instrument of Chaos)

3 Nurglings

Fast Attack:

5 Furies Mark of Nurgle

5 Furies Mark of Slaanesh

9 Screamers

Elites:

5 Beasts of Nurgle

2 Fiends

9 Plamers (1 Pyrocaster)

Heavy Support:

5 Havocs (1 champion with bolter, 4 w/ reaper chaincannons)

My challenge creating this list is balancing units from all four chaos gods, and using HQs to fill in the right jobs. I don’t want to spend CP for another detachment… but I may need to. Some considerations in this list is to find a way to squeeze in a Contorted Epitome. My reservation is I struggle to use it in-game, which makes it an expensive take in a list. If I can figure out how to play it effectively, I think it would be a great add. I would have it replace the two fiends, sorcerer and some screamers/flamers.

I’ll dive into my strategy for this list in future posts. Thoughts?
