Warhammer Space Marines Battleforce
What is the “best” Chaos Space Marine HQ choice?
Ok, so im getting into warhammer 40k and i am buying the Chaos Space Marince battleforce, but i cant decide which HQ to choose….any suggestions? I am leaning towards Abaddon the Despoiler at the moment….thanks for any help
Abbadon is good, but highly expensive, and he needs other terminators to make it across the field and/or a Land Raider as well. This combined unit(abby, termies, LR) runs around 750pts. So I would save abby for big games. Now when you do field that unit…. oh dear it is nasty.
In games under 1500pts I would say a sorcerer with one power(wind of chaos, warptime, and doombolt are reliable), or a simple lord. I would just stick with a basic lord that can join a squad. If you want to keep him cheap throw on a power weapon and maybe one of the marks. Or throw on a jump pack for a flying death dealer. Terminator armor is also good, but like with abby he really needs other terminators to be effective. Demon weapons can be interesting, but are also very frustrating.
Over 1500pts. Demon Prince w/ wings. Only psychic power I consider on these guys is warptime, makes them even more of a close combat monster…. literally. Marks are not a bad idea either. Lords and sorcerers often need troops to compliment them. Demon princes are fine on their own, but it is good if you have some transports they can hide behind to get up the field alive.
I say wait till 1500pts for a demon prince because in smaller games these guys can be hard to take down. Good for you, but it won’t be as enjoyable for your opponent. And for fluff/story purposes it makes no sense why a powerful demon prince would be leading around such a small force.
Hope that helps.
