I"m new to the chaos army list and I don't have the codex yet, but I started working on a slanesh dreadnought conversion out of a bunch of bitz I have around, it's mounted on the sixty base and yas a close combat weapon and twin linked laz. I was just wondering if chaos dreds have a storm bolter or something like it and where it is on the regual model. There's actually pictures of the unit in the painting and modelling sub forum under conversion corner.

For modelling purposes, one could use a Storm Bolder (i.e. wrist mounted) for a Combi bolter, much like Abaddon's style.

lord_illpalazzo Demonettes huh? And raptors and Bikes should be the majority of my army? I hadn't thought of that.... And should I do the Favorite numbers thing with my daemons? Well you dont have to use that, the point is that your army will have a "delay" to deploy, to cope with this its a good idea to get them where they need to be when they arive, instead of having to walk there. You could just use troops in transports or anything, but in allot of cases people prefer raptors (because they are a nasty unit) or bikers (because they are really fast, and have 3+ inv saves now and then) The favored number thing only works with the 4 chaos god dedicated legion (e.g. daemonettes only get the bonus when in a emperors children army). You should, in my oppinion use the favored numbers, but just for fluff really lord_illpalazzo Why are Demonettes so effective? I thought Khorne was the strongest. Well, khorne has allot of base killing power, and in general will outkill daemonettes against basic infantry. However, the Daemonettes have rending, which means they could kill anything. They are also *allot* cheaper, not only in actual points, but also in point/quality relations. Khorne should be your "elite daemons" were daemonettes are you "troop Daemonettes" When I still played my word bearers, I had 4 units of daemonettes, 2 of bloodletters and 3 flamers. Then again, I lost to nearly anything shooty -.-

wash_away I was wondering if it would be unfluffy to make a slanesh army that is robotic/cyborg looking. Well depends, if you make a Slaanesh army, yes. If you make a noise marine army, no. Slaanesh itself revels in every feeling, being robotic makes that hard(er). Noise marines however, which are more concerned for freaky noise would proberly like the amp in their ears surprised

Noise Marines also use modifications to highten and amplify sensation, so perhaps if you go away from "cyborg" and more for "modified senses" you'll be good.

A defiler isnt too bad of a choice, though it is a firemagnet, but if you can plop it down in a place to use Indirect fire, it can reap its points

I don't remember waht its called. this will be my first Non-Ork army, and I want to make sure its alot diffrent than my Ork style of play. Well the foremost problem with chaos is that nearly everything in the armory and FOC is worth it. This means that you will want to play everything, and lots of it. Unfortunately, everything also costs allot, thereby restraining you. To reflect this, allot of gamers focus their (chaos) army on one aspect (daemons, speed, infiltrate, vehicles etc) because thats really the only way to do it. As I dont know your orc army, nor do I play orcs, I dont know how they play. Whatever they play like though, some form of chaos army will be different from it (proberly allot actually smile ). Its up to you however, to make sure it is, by the type of army you make. The problem with word bearers is that you need: A) lots of daemons to function as your killing power (well you dont need to, but the primary point of word bearers is daemons) B) Have enough units to get your daemons to the table C) have to get your daemons in enemy battle lines, not in the open. This means that you will have to spend allot of points on all these already. Although this doesnt say you cant have a defiler (you should have one actually, its amazing) it does say that you cant have allot of vehicles. and if you only have 1 vehicle, every piece of anti tank will go for it. Conclusion: if you take a defiler, give him indirect fire and hope for terrain
