NEW Chaos Space Marine Codex Army Lists (2k Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch!)

It's that time again! My brain has been kicked into high-gear with another 40k Codex release! Though I am admittedly putting the game down for a while, it is still a blast to mess around with codexes and make army lists! This time, I made a list for each Chaos God, and while these may not be competitive in the slightest, they are still fun! Check it out!

Okay, first up, Khorne!

2k - Khorne

HQ
160 Khârn the Betrayer

ELITES
385 9x Chosen (2x PW, PF, 2x Meltaguns, Combi-Melta, Gift, MoKhorne, IoWrath, VotLW, Rhino w/Combi-Melta, Havoc, Possession)

TROOPS
265 8x Berserkers (Power Weapon, Gift, IoWrath, VotLW, Rhino w/Combi-Melta, Havoc)
265 8x Berserkers (Power Weapon, Gift, IoWrath, VotLW, Rhino w/Combi-Melta, Havoc)
265 8x Berserkers (Power Weapon, Gift, IoWrath, VotLW, Rhino w/Combi-Melta, Havoc)

ALLIED CHAOS DAEMONS:

HQ
260 Bloodthirster w/Deathstrike

ELITES
240 6x Bloodcrushers

TROOPS
160 10x Bloodletters

2,000 points
55 Models
4 Scoring Units

Now, I wanted to include some Khorne cultists, but ultimately I thouht that a Khorne list should have Berserkers everywhere. I opted for some Daemon allies for flare.


Now, Nurgle!


2k - Nurgle

HQ
230 Typhus

TROOPS
275 7x Plague Marines (2x Meltaguns, PW, Gift, VotLW, Rhino w/Combi-Melta & Havoc)
275 7x Plague Marines (2x Meltaguns, PW, Gift, VotLW, Rhino w/Combi-Melta & Havoc)
275 7x Plague Marines (Meltagun, Flamer, PW, Gift, VotLW, Rhino w/Combi-Melta & Havoc)
50 10x Plauge Zombies
50 10x Plauge Zombies
50 10x Plague Zombies

FAST ATTACK
170 Heldrake (Baleflamer)
170 Heldrake (Baleflamer)

HEAVY SUPPORT
115 5x Havocs (4x Autocannons)
115 5x Havocs (4x Autocannons)
115 5x Havocs (4x Autocannons)

FORTIFICATIONS
100 Aegis Defense Line - Quad Gun

Total Points = 2,000
Models = 72 (5 Vehicles)
Scoring Units = 6

This list should be a LOT tougher to deal with, no pun intended lol. Typhus, one unit of Plague Zombies, and the three Havoc teams will sit back and hold the crap out of one objective, while the other five scoring units seek out more objectives and generally mess things up with the Havocs and Heldrakes as support.

Next up, Tzeentch!

2k - Tzeentch


HQ
Tzeentch Jetbike Lord (Disc of Tzeentch, MoTzeentch, Sigil, Gift, Murder Sword)

FAST ATTACK
Tzeentch biker unit (9 Bikers, 2 Meltaguns, Gift, MoTzeentch, IoFlame, Vets)

ELITES
Tzeentch Terminator Unit (9 Termies, 2 Chainfists, 2 Combi-Flamers, 3 Combi-Plasmas, 3 Combi-Meltas, Gift, MoTzeentch, IoFlame, Vets)

TROOPS
9x Thousand Sons (Gift, IoFlame, Rhino)
9x Thousand Sons (Gift, IoFlame, Rhino)
9x Thousand Sons (Gift, IoFlame, Rhino)

HEAVY SUPPORT
Tzeentchian Havocs (9 Havocs, 4 Heavy Bolters, MoTzeentch, IoFlame)

1,999
58 Models
3 Scoring Units

I know, I know, Tzeentch on bikes? I just thought I'd give the Tzeentch Lord some buddies, and yes, I went with something COMPLETELY different by making the HQ a Lord instead of a Sorcerer. Again, this isn't necessarily going to be super competitive, but I wanted my lord to have a 3+/3+ save and the only way to do it is to make him worship Tzeentch!

And finally, Slaanesh!

2k - Slaanesh

HQ
Sorcerer (Mastery Level 3, Vet, MoSlaanesh, Sigil, Gift, Steed)

TROOPS
10 Noise Marines (4 Sonic Blasters, Blastmaster, Gift, PW, Doom Siren, IoExcess, Vets, Rhino)
10 Noise Marines (4 Sonic Blasters, Blastmaster, Gift, PW, Doom Siren, IoExcess, Vets, Rhino)
20 Cultists (2 Heavy Stubbers, MoSlaanesh)

ELITES
10 Warp Talons (2 Gifts, MoSlaanesh, Vets)

ALLIED CHAOS DAEMONS

HQ
Herald of Slaanesh (Exalted Seeker Chariot, Unholy Might, Transfixing Gaze, Icon)

TROOPS
18 Daemonettes (Icon, Transfixing Gaze)

FAST ATTACK
12 Seekers of Slaansesh (Transfixing Gaze)

1990 pts
4 Scoring Units
84 Models

With this list, you can hold your objectives with your Noise Marines and send everything else to hunt stuff down, or you can put your Daemonettes on an objective while everything else surges forward. Either way that's a lot of I5 gruesomeness headed your opponent's way!


There's just SO MUCH you can do in this book, and after poring through it I definitely have a ton of ideas I want to write out. Expect more random lists in the following days! :D

  1. May want to reread the HQ section: only Sorcs and Ahriman allow Sons as troops. It sucks big time.
