I traded aTau army (yuck!) for a Chaos Space Marine army and found myself with an excess of plasma guns. At first I just ignored them and used other things, but recently I decided that I should drown my friends (most of which who play some form of marines) in a hail of AP2 plasma. I made this army to be a little ridiculous, seeing as i have the worst luck with Gets Hot! rolls. So here's the 1500 pt list:

Sorcerer- tzeentch, warptime, plasma pistol, meltabombs
Havocs- x6, 4 plasmas, champ, combi-plasma, IoCG, meltabombs
Rhino- possession

Chaos Marines- x10, 2 plasmas, IoCG, champ, meltabombs
Rhino- havoc launcher

Chaos Marines- x10, 2 plasmas, IoCG, champ, meltabombs
Rhino- havoc launcher

Obliterators- x3

Obliterators- x3

Chaos Dreadnought- plasma cannon

I kill as much of my own as I do my enemies. Screw you, overheating plasma. Any suggestions on how to make it more fun or hilarious?

Chaos Chosen with five Plasma Guns or Plasma Pistols. xP

Why not havocs? they are cheaper, and the chosen's ability to outflank is wasted with the sorcerer hitching a ride...

Well you can almost get 2x 5-man squads of chosen with melta/plasma weapons for the cost of one obliterator cult.

Oblits are great but you pay for the versatility. If you're trying to go strictly for plasma I'd almost switch one of them out for the chosen.

Or, for a big points-sink, a 10-man Terminator squad all with combi-plasmas for 350 points. And that's without a mark. o_0 But still, can you imagine deep-striking 20 plasma shots? Damn...XD

That's just sick and wrong.

XD Isn't that how Chaos is supposed to work?

I believe so. I think I shall re-characterize my statement to be "that's just sick and utterly characteristic"

That's better.

On a related note, for maximum plasma awesomeness, replace the Havoc Launchers with Combi-plasmas.
