My first fight with Chaos

That is, my first fight using Chaos, rather than with Chaos. I hope I've confused you!

It was a 1000 point game, using the
My list looked something like this:

HQ
Chaos Lord, Power Fist, Mark of Khorne, Personal Icon, Combi-melta

Troops

10x Chaos Marines, 2x melta gun, Icon of Khorne, Aspiring Champ /w power sword
- Rhino, Extra Armour

7x Khorne Beserkers
- Rhino, Extra Armour

6x Lesser Demons
6x Lesser Demons

Heavy Support
Pred /w sponsons
1x Obliterator
1x Obliterator


Not too sure what my opponent took.
It was something like this:

10x marines - lascannon/flamer - meltabombs, power sword
10x assault marines - meltabombs
10x scouts - Telion, Heavy Bolter, Sniper rifles, stealth cloaks
Whirlwind
Dreadnought with extra armour and plasma cannon

My HQ stuck with the Khorne Beserkers. The matchup was one of the battle mission games, nothing too special. It was objective based, I ended up getting an advantage where one turn I could give my guys furious charge and rage. It helped and hindered me during this game.

Overall, terrific game. Ended in a bloody draw - my opponent had four models left on the table at the end, but I had few more.

The lesser demons performed better than expected. A lot of people seem to knock them, but I found that their ability to deep strike accurately and pin down enemy units valuable. They solve the problem of getting guys into assault after they disembark from a rhino. the suprise factor is terrific as well. The ability to assault the turn they show up is awesome. Sure, you can get a marine for 3 points more, but the added synergy is worth it. It helps that they can hold objectives too! I'll certainly use them again.

Overall, very different experience than playing Tau. I could play much more aggressively and not be scared about getting close. I find the Tau a lot trickier to play that's for sure.

Looking forward to playing some more, I'll be sure to post a report next time.
