Red Corsairs 1850pt

[Stu]

So as everyone has probably seen I've been working my way through a few army lists on our you tube channel and I have been successful with some and not so with alot.

I have been writing army lists like crazy trying to settle on a list I think I would feel comfortable in playing, it may not be the most competitive list out there and I can only assume against certain lists and/or armies it will get stomped on.

But without further ado I present my NEW 1850 point list.....

HQ
Huron Blackheart

Chaos Lord
-Chaos Bike
-Power Fist
-Gift of Mutation
-Sigil of Corruption (4++)
-Mark of Nurgle
-Veterns of the Long War (VotLW)

Troops
3 x 5 Chaos Space Marines
-CCW
-Plasma Gun
-Champ with Power Weapon
-Champ with Gift of Mutation
-Champ with Melta Bombs
-VotLW
-Rhino
-Combi Melta on Rhino

10 Chaos Cultists

Fast Attack
2 x Heldrakes
-Baleflamer

7 Chaos Bikers
-2 Melta Guns
-Champ with Power Fist
-Champ with Gift of Mutation
-Mark of Nurgle
-VotLW

Heavy Support
Maulerfiend

5 Havocs
-4 Autocannons

Fortification
Aegis Defence Line
-Quad Gun

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So thats it! what do you think?, I have my own idea on how I would play this list with it slightly changing depending on how many units I get to infiltrate using Huron's ability but what do you guys think?

Cheers

Huron Blackheart

Personally think he's awesome

Chaos Lord
-Chaos Bike
-Power Fist
-Gift of Mutation
-Sigil of Corruption (4++)
-Mark of Nurgle
-Veterns of the Long War (VotLW)

Like this guy I'd probably consider dropping the fist for the black mace as its awesome

Troops
3 x 5 Chaos Space Marines
-CCW
-Plasma Gun
-Champ with Power Weapon
-Champ with Gift of Mutation
-Champ with Melta Bombs
-VotLW
-Rhino
-Combi Melta on Rhino

Looks good I personally feel the gift of mutation to be to random to worth taking on champs

10 Chaos Cultists

I wonder what these will be manning lol

Fast Attack
2 x Heldrakes
-Baleflamer

Awesome

7 Chaos Bikers
-2 Melta Guns
-Champ with Power Fist
-Champ with Gift of Mutation
-Mark of Nurgle
-VotLW

Fantastic and with Huron are even more awesome

Heavy Support
Maulerfiend

Again with Huron awesome


5 Havocs
-4 Autocannons

Awesome

Fortification
Aegis Defence Line
-quad gun

Awesome

With the 30pts you'd save from dropping the gift of mutation on the champs I'd get a black mace on the biker lord leaving you with 10pts I think

I think the list looks awesome cant wait to face it again in its new guise

straight off the bat i can see troops is going to be a problem here mate.

3 * 5 chaos marines.. = sad panda
5 chaos marines will get nothing done.. 1 group of 10 marines and 1 group of 5 marines to hold a back objective may get something done... but more than likely at 1850 points you are going to be up against bigger blobs of troops and your boys will get smashed

at 1850 .. i would be looking to have at least 30 or so chaos marines if you dont want to go with a mark.. but you have a nurgle lord.. so get some plague marines in there .. they are better than bezerkers in close combat.. they re-roll wounds , T 5 , FNP , 4 + poison... they are ridiculous

never put a gift of mutation on seargents just a waste.. they have to challenge and will probably die to anything the enemy has.. unless you have spare points.. but no one has spare points.. ever hahah

Mauler fiend will get popped the second it puts its head out on the field.. you need multiple so the enemy has to fear it .. 1 is useless 2 is handy 3 is godlike..
i personally prefer the forge fiend.. its getting it done right accross the board, 8 Strength 8 shots is putting heat onto land raiders and mowing down most things and with the ecto plas cannon upgrade its putting the fear into those deep striking termies in your back line .. im going to be running at least 2 .. i ran one against some necrons 2 weeks back .. and the thing paid for itself as soon as it had a turn. splatted like 16 deepstriking necron skellies

heldrakes are good .. can never have enough.. 2 is very good
havocs good
aegis good , i want to get one.. looking forward to seeing a bat rep with chaos using one

whats your bikes going to be doing?? tank hunting / harrassing back line ?

it looks good just needs some more troop meat
