Chaos Space Marines List

[Casper]

Thanks to the tournament and winning an Abaddon... i'm looking at building CSM. Why? Because Chaos and Emperor's Children isn't available yet. 

I am a bit confused by all the best marks and weapons so really looking for some advice.

I really don't know what I'm doing yet when it comes to wargear and optimizing it. The cultist mob is just for sticky objectives and giving them a 5+ invul seems not bad. Chosen, Possessed and Forgefiends to my understanding are the best units... and I have to run Abaddon with 10 Terminators - right? 

[brujonation]

I think for a really competitive list, you are on the right track. the forge fiend is probably the best ranged option, being 3d3 s10 into most targets will do the job, including elite infantry with the blast.

perhaps switching the culistist mob for Accursed cultists, they are oc2, and regenerate in both players Command phases, with the commune it's even better.

[Casper]

I really like that suggestion as my thought process for the cultist mobs were just the sticky objectives and cheap points. But a squad of accursed cultists are 95 points bringing me to 1980. They fit better with the Mark of Slaanesh since they are basically only there for melee anyways. Also the models look cool!

[Casper]

I was bored and made a second list that sounds fun!

ALLIED UNITS

Nurglings (40 points)
• 3x Diseased claws and teeth

Abaddon and the boys come in via rapid ingress. Cultists hold the back objective with Dark Commune for sticky objectives. Accursed Cultists run up the board and hopefully get into combat while regening models. Chosen with the double characters seem okay. Forgefiends do forgefiend things- I realized Nurgle or Chaos Undivided is better for them since you really want the Dev Wounds. Nurglings since I had 45 points extra.

Here's the list I'm thinking of running. I'm dumb and bought the entire list... minus the Master of Possession which I'm going to proxy as a Chaos Sorcerer. Between Daemons and CSM - I guess I'm a Chaos player.
