+ Nü Kaos +

The new Codex: CSM hits very very soon, and as much as I'd like to boycott it and keep my lads bashing like I like 'em - which mostly goes for my poor girls! - I think change may be inevitible. So going by what I know of the new book (which is a good deal at this point), here's a look at my own list and the changes to come.

Anarchonquistadores -

HQ
Lord - MoCU, furious charge, power weapon, bolt pistol, speed, aura, strength, spiky, ikon, meltas
Elites
6 1k Sons - sorcerer w/ fist, bolt of change, 3 thralls
6 Noise Marines - blasmaster, plasma gun
1 Oblit
Troops
10 CSM - MoCU, autocannon, plasma gun, AC w/ kai gun, power weapon
8 CSM - MoCU, infiltrate, lascannon, flamer, AC w/ fist, combi-flamer, mutation

Remnants

HQ
Lord - MoCU, power weapon, bolt pistol, aura, ikon, meltas
Elites
Dread - plasma cannon, heavy flamer, extra armor
Troops
10 CSM - MoCU, autocannon, plasma gun, AC w/ power weapon
8 CSM - MoCU, lascannon, flamer, AC w/ fist, combi-flamer
6 1k Sons - sorcerer w/ bolt of change
6 Noise Marines - blasmaster
Heavy
6 Havoks - MoCU, 3 missile launchers
1 Oblit

I can't say that's such a thrilling update to my list! Since a lot of my toys were taken away now, that's something like 179 points to mess with now (not including the demonettes). Given what I know about the new book, and what I've got working on right now, I think I might end up something like the following. Note that even though demons are utterly bad now, I might still keep some girls, out of dedication to what they once were.

New Codex

HQ
Lord - MoK, chainfist, combi-bolter, terminator armor
Elites
Dread - plasma cannon, heavy flamer, extra armor
Troops
10 CSM - Ikon of CU, autocannon, plasma gun, AC w/ power weapon
10 CSM - Ikon of CU, lascannon, flamer, AC w/ fist, combi-flamer
6 1k Sons - sorcerer w/ force weapon, warptime, bolt of change
6 Noise Marines - blasmaster, sonic blaster
Heavy
6 Havoks - Ikon of CU, 3 missile launchers
1 Oblit
Land Raider - demonic possession

I guess the list goes up in shooting a bit, but way down in assault with the lose of the girls. I'd be looking at building 2 combat marines, the termi lord and the land raider. Not so bad, and all of the models should be fun to convert and paint. Still, this all doesn't make me a happy Lord of Chaos Undivided >:P

++++++

Just edited the new list a bit. Nixed the demonettes entirely, pretty sure points will be tight with adding the land raider and dealing with the cost increase across the board. Thinking about giving my lord, who's a fallen chaplain in the fluff, either the mark of khorne or mark of tzeentch. MoK to rep 'litanies of hate,' though here so he has a massive 4 attaks, as terminator armor apparently no longer gives +1A :P Or MoT to rep the 'cursed crozius' save, as it would give him a 4+ save. Probably go MoK, it's the cheapest I hear. There is no MoCU for characters anymore, they all have Fearless.
