6th edition comes and so does the tide of chaos fall across the galaxy like a plague...

So... As you can imagine this post is going to be about 6th edition and my loved Chaos. In both flavors thanks to the new ally rules. My girlfreind has been gracious enough to let me keep her painted daemons at my house since she doesn't really have too many people to play where she lives (Pause for a moment of sadfaceness).

So this is list time *Cue dramatic music*
Chaos Space Marines Primary Detachment

So... We've got Word Bearers using actual Daemons... PERFECT!
Not the most competitive and Hard list... But it really seems that with the greater amount of randomness in the game and the 'Forge a Narrative' sidebars it seems like competitive play is not Games Workshop's purgative and this list defiantly have some narrative to it. I didn't take a fortification since I didn't really have the points after taking all that I wanted but if I would, I would probably take a Imperial Bastion since this force is meant to be a vanguard force backed by some heavy hitting, yet diverse Daemon allies.

Also... if your getting question marks on the Chaos Shield being the Sorcerer's Familiar... It's constantly whispering magical knowledge into his mind, though it gives him nearly peerless magical knowledge... but it will drive him insane eventually, unless he fulfills his own agenda to become a Daemon Prince before he loses his mind.

Be back with some Battle Summeries and some tales to tell.

This is nearly a complete copy and paste from my topic on Warsound.com in the armylist section of the forum. So. Now with that out of the way... 6th edition at another time.
