Hello children. Welcome to the 41st millenium, where chaos rules all, and I, High Sorcerer Ahriman, am the master of it all.

Bringing the pain by winning the war of attrition.

Almost any list you play from the chaos marines book is a late game army. Meaning, as long as you play ahead of your opponent, you're going to outlast them with your tough as nails marines. This is especially true of thousand sons and plague marine lists, as these two units will typically outnumber most opponents on turn 7, though probably be outnumbered on turn 1.

Play to your strengths, don't take the bait that your opponent will set for you, and MAKE SURE YOU ARE PLAYING 2-3 TURNS AHEAD. No one can stop you otherwise, except for slow players, and if someone is slow playing you, you better get yourself a judge.

  1. Running Tzeentch and Nurgle together? Not very fluffy but might work...

  2. Fluff is irrelevant in the scope of tournament play.

  3. Well then you could do something like drop Ahriman down to a cheap lord, drop one tzeech unit, add two full csm squads with plasma. drop 5 cultists from each and some of the rhino upgrades to try and add an obliterator. could.
