I think the warhammer table is intended primarily for display, but at least the dystopian wars table was used for playing - and was really fun at that.

Also, check this out. :D

Those tables were both on this years Tactica - more pics can be found here and here.

Of course it's an extreme example. I chose it so you may come to the conclusion that BS is not everything when it comes to shooting, the number of shots is equally important, next to some more stats....

So if you get shot at with BS 1 and 600 shots thats not as bad for you as 6 shots with BS 5? :)

Big Shootas are only 5 pts a piece, so they work pretty good at equal points. No need to go 33% over the DA, 1:1 is what we're talking about, right?

Any comparison not including upgrade options...

1.: On the blog you said something about fleet being a reason why DA win a shootout against boys with shootas. Can't find it anymore since you (someone else?) edited all your posts to "..." so I...

The names for the weapons sound kinda strange, not like anything GW would come up with.

Edit: GW of course has coined many strange names, but a different kind of strange. ;)

Chaos Lords are not that bad overall, it's just that they are the worst HQ option in the book. Daemon Weapons make them more expensive and less reliable, so if you're going for powergaming you're...

Nice themed army, very nurgly. :)

Drop the daemonic possession on the rhinos and the extra armour + TLB on the vindicators. Buy daemonic possession and combi weapons for the vindicators and add...

The Pavane from the Daemons book is "nerfed" way beyond a slight decrease in range. The CSM lash does not require a roll to hit, it can affect a single unit multiple times in one turn and it moves...

I can't comply with your conclusion here. Just to make another example, ever tried rushing your Khorne Berzerkers into a squad of Thousand Sons? They won't even get there. TS have slow&purposeful (->...

I think the list is pretty good already, but I have some minor suggestions:

Demon Prince: Needs warptime. Even if you go for shooting, warptime lets you re-roll your shooting attacks with the...

Ah, I missed that you wanted to blob them up. I would not recommend that either. :D But yes, it definitely sounds fun to play that list - games should go quite fast, either way. ;)

Thats usually not a good thing. You will want your squads to run/die in the first turn of combat, so you can shoot at whatever killed them. If your guardsmen manage to survive the first turn of CC,...

Nice theme, but that list will probably get bashed in close combat, badly. :D

The Codex: CSM says otherwise. Page 87, Pintle-mounted combi-weapon:

Pintle-mounted weapons are treated as an additional weapon, with the profile of a normal combi-weapon, which can always be...

From my experience I would recommend the following changes, without changing too much of your setup:

Daemon Prince:
Get him a pair of wings and Warptime, thats just too good to pass up. Drop the...

I usually dont take the upgrade.

The enhanced ranged weapon is pretty useless as your Trygon will be fleeting in the shooting phase most of the time.

Synapse Creature is a nice bonus, but you...

Chosen are awesome, but for their ranged options (5 meltas / flamers). If you equip them with power swords, they are more expensive than Terminators. If you compare them to Terminators, they lack the...

I played 500 Pts with CSM against a nasty Eldar list (2 Wraithlords + Avatar), it looked something like this:

1 Chaos Lord with Power Fist

2 Squads of 6 Chaos Space Marines with Melta and...

That math only works if you really buy every issue. If you buy only every second issue or even less (like I do), the subscription costs more money.

A Seaguard horde of 50 would slaughter the Khorne-Marauder horde which was theorized somewhere else. With 51 Attacks, re-roll to hit (thanks to ASF and higher initiative) the Seaguard obliterates...

Whew, I didn't know that. I like that. :)

Still, the prince alone without any Equipment (350 pts) is only 10 points less than the Seaguard with ridiculous amounts of equipment (360 pts). Add in a...

Does this even make a legal list according to the new 25% rules?

Even with minimal equipment, the prince and the Mage add up to ~500 points.
The Sea Guard with max equipment are at ~350 (with 2...

Chaos can easily field more marines:

HQ:
2x Chaos Lord with Power Armour

Elites:
3x 20 Possessed Chaos Space Marines

Troops:
6x 20 Chaos Space Marines
