HIs second Battalion is a mixed Demons detachment with a Changecaster, a Khorne Demon Prince with Wings and Axe, 15 Bloodletters, 26 Horrors, and 10 Pairs of Brimstones. Not much to unpack here, it’s just very durable and very efficient. Not only does this help cut Morale losses, but it increases the odds of rolling a 1 for Morale, which in turn triggers their Icons. Nurglings give some objective play and interfere with enemy deep strikes, and finally the Bilepiper allows the Plaguebearers to roll 2d6 and pick low for Morale. The Poxbringer supports the Plaguebearers psychically, and the Plaguebearers provide great screens and board control. This is a very straight forward Battalion, relatively speaking. First, we have his Nurgle Demons Battalion, comprising of a Poxbringer and a Sloppity Bilepiper, one unit of Nurglings, and two units of 30 Plaguebearers. He took two Battalions and a Supreme Command. Jim’s list is firmly base Chaos Demons, as they comprise about 1240 points of his list, with the remaining 760 out of Thousand Sons. Let’s start by looking at Jim Vesal and his list, who took 1st place at the Dicehammer Warhammer 40K GT in Lake Forest, California. As a result, Chaos players are constantly experimenting with abilities and combinations to push the army to the next level. Recently, these styles of lists have struggled to match the quality of more recent horde armies. Historically, the army has been played as a strict horde army, usually with lots of Cultists or Plaguebearers and Characters to support the hordes. Note that if an army has, for example, an 800 point CSM Battalion, a 600 point Demons Spearhead and a 600 point Demons Outrider, it would still be considered base CSM despite the majority of the models being from Chaos Demons.Ĭhaos is one of the most experimental factions at the competitive level. For shorthand, we would describe that list as “base Death Guard”. In other words, if a list has 1000 points of Death Guard, 500 of THousand Sons, and 500 of Chaos Demons, it would be listed as a Death Guard list. For tournament submissions, whichever Codex has the biggest detachment is the Codex that the army is counted as. Chaos has 4 Codexes at its disposal: Chaos Space Marines, Death Guard, Thousand Sons, and finally Chaos Demons. Today, we’re going to be looking at 3 Chaos lists. Every entry will be pulled from a recent GT, and we’ll be going over everything from who played the army to how likely the army in question is likely to continue to perform as the game evolves. Welcome to Top Warhammer 40K Lists, where we take a look at three lists for a given faction and break down what makes them tick and how they fared.
