Hey guys.. so I am thinking for a concept of a list that presents so many important targets that it would overwhelm opponents with what to kill first. I tried to think of a list using the Chaos Space marine codex but found that I needed more. I especially needed fast units, units that can threaten an opponent by turn 2. The Maulerfiend came to mind but since its a vehicle, and armor 12, it could be 1-shotted fairly easily. With the daemon codex, we finally get a lot of fast choices that are either super cheap or pretty resilient and the fact that they are battle brothers with CSM, compliment each other quite nicely. The idea that I have was to run 2 chaos lords of khrone on juggernauts, 1 or 2 Maulerfiends, 2 full squads of spawn, a heldrake, and 2 or 3 full squads of cultists. As for the daemons side, herald of khorne on juggernaut or bloodthirster, squad of bloodletters, a squad of bloodcrushers, and a full squad of khorne flesh hounds. As for heavy support, i would take a khorne damon prince. The idea is simple, build an allied chaos list that would present my opponent's with so much hard hitting units, that they would be overwhelmed with what to target first. In todays shoot-centric world of 40k, an army that can close the gaps could be a winning formula.
I see the writing on the wall, armies that are getting updated are becoming more and more shooty. The heldrakes reign as well as any flyer is about to come to an end. With the Tau update, the amount of skyfire the army can bring is astonishing. The amount of firepower they bring against anything is just as ridiculous and so my belief of a fast army that can setup multiple assaults at the same time might be the answer. If an army can hit lets say a tau lines at the same time that would decrease the amount of damage as they would need to concentrate their fire on the first unit hitting their lines. Once you get stuck in, we know what happens to Tau.
Below is a sample list of what I`m thinking about, it presents a lot of fast moving units that if not dealt with with prove to be quite nasty for an opponent.
