Alright, a while ago, I posted about some help, and most of the feedback basically suggested I just get the new dex. I've finally managed to do that, and I was a little Elitist towards the Older one, already set in my mind was the fact that the older dex, was better, and it seemed the new one just made a few things more expensive, and a few things out.
Now, I know there were a lot of advantages that came from the new one. cheaper units all around come to mind. but a few things made me twitch. The overall layout of the book, I didn't much like, putting all the stats and things basically in the back of the book I didn't much like, and the part where it basically explained every unit I thought it could have done without, basically repeating what was in the back. Now I haven't taken much of a look, just enough to update my list. Which I present to you now. I'll give a bit of commentary afterwards.
Elite
Terminators x5 - Champ, reaper autocannon - 185
Troops
CSM x8 - Asp. Champ, powerfist, flamer - 165
CSM x8 - Plasma gun, Asp. Champ, combi bolter, rhino w/ extra armor - 200
Fast Attack
Chaos Bikers x6 - melta x2, MoK - 248
Heavy Support
Predator - extra armor, TL lascannon, heavy bolters - 150
Defiler - CC arm - 150
Total = 1098
Now, at this point I have no idea what I'd want to use as my HQ. I definitely want to go with a Lord, hands down. Possibly a Sorcerer, cause I would want to put them on a bike, or some kind of Steed, which was really the real reason I was having so much trouble deciding on. I was thinking of just giving the lord a bike and a deamon weapon, and watch him just maul through squads, but I was kind of hoping to attach him to the bike squad, and with that many attacks, it would just be a whole lot of overkill.
So I thought maybe lightning claws... I'm not sure. Any good suggestions? Also, I was thinking of giving him the mark and steed of nurgle. I get the +1 A and T I would from a bike, and an extra wound to boot. Some help on this dilemma would be nice. I want my Lord/Sorc to be a good supporting unit, but with the new codex, I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing that.
Thanks
