| So what are the boards thoughts on CSMs in 5th? If those loyalist rumours hold then I'd imagine alot of CSM players just using Codex: Clean Marines.
Other than maybe PlagueMarine spam, why go Chaos Marines? I dont see it..

| Yeah, demon princes + lash, plaguemarine spam (i intend to roll this behind a wall of rhinos) and then maybe obliterator spam + some sort of gunline.
All depends on what really happens in the SM book though.

| Four Autocannon Havoks could see action.
You do have to start looking at units which could take advantage of army APCs as well. Say that Havok squad buys a Rhino. You could now taxi off a unit of Possessed (yea, I said Possessed  )

| What do you mean by plague marine or obliterator spam. Sometimes the termanogly goes over the "layman's" head.

That is a great buy when you consider Lash allows you to move those 30 strong Ork mobs off an objective. Much easier than having to kill them all.. hmm

I love it baby, got my golden uzi now...
Back on topic.
Yeah, my list will look something like. 1 lashing prince + 1 nurgle prince then plaguemarines and oblits (or havocs).
I think PM spam is one of the few armies that can whoop up on orks of new.
