You received’t consider how a lot injury a number of the Chaos Marine Characters can do in Melee. WATCH OUT Loyalists!
There are some enjoyable infantry choices within the Chaos aspect of issues that may pour out a ton of wounds – if the whole lot goes good on there assault step. I really like the concept of seeing how a lot injury a mannequin may do if the unit goes off and your cube determine to offer you an epic story to inform.
Honorable Point out: Creations of Bile Chaos Lord – 24 Injury
The Chaos Lord from Creation of Bile with the Prime Check Topic improve can hit that candy flat Injury 4 with Sustained hits, rerolls, and different enjoyable stuff. It doesn’t have a particular title so whereas he’s dope as heck together with his injury output he received’t present up on this checklist. I believe his names must be – “Why are you so imply Goatboy!” after they go off and wreck some unit of Ratlings earlier than dying to lasfire. He’s solely an honorable point out as you may solely take him within the Creations of Bile checklist, so he’s very nook case in comparison with the all the blokes beneath. All of them can carve up the competitors it doesn’t matter what military you throw them into.
1. Abaddon The Despoiler – Drach’nyen – 24+ injury
You could have 8 power 14, AP -4, and flat 3 Injury assaults that occur to have devastating wounds in addition to Sustained Hits almost definitely. This man is coming in scorching, going to wreck stuff together with his Chaos Marines military, and possibly whine about it afterward his battleship. He’s primary as whereas Kharn may do extra simply having AP -4 means he can have a greater probability of chewing by means of the enemy.
2. Kharn the Betrayer – Gorechild – 24+ injury
This World Eater is likely one of the finest infantry blenders within the recreation. Kharn is available in scorching with 8 assaults (or 9 on the cost) which can be hitting at power 6, AP -2, and flat 3 Injury. I virtually really feel he ought to get an additional pip of AP and simply extra power however he nonetheless wrecks stuff if he will get there.
3. Skulltaker – The Slayer Sword – 18 injury
Look Skulltaker isn’t simply going to be profitable a portray award with this weapon. This is available in with 6 assaults at Energy 6, AP -2, and flat 3 Injury with Devastating Wounds and Precision. If he will get 2 6’s he can simply wreck most little characters main their associates round. Glory to Khorne!
4. Typhus – Manreaper – 15 injury
Do you know he hits fairly arduous when he will get there. Typhus is available in with 5 deadly assaults, Energy 9, AP -2, and flat 3 Injury. It’s a ton of assaults that when blended together with his Mortal wound taking pictures he can roll in and wreck a unit. All concern the Loss of life Guard.
5. Ahriman – Black Employees of Ahriman – 15 injury
Whereas this isn’t probably the most lethal with its low AP it does have a flat 3 injury which will get it into the fascinating vary of injury. Ahriman is available in like an indignant Librarian with 5 assaults, Energy 7, AP -1, and flat 3 Injury. This isn’t too dangerous and actually simply having flat 3 is fairly highly effective as it will possibly wreck by means of Elite models.
It’s fairly fascinating to assume that flat 3 injury appears to be the purpose for particular Chaos House Marine characters. Loads of the opposite armies appear to interrupt at flat 2 Injury with only some others getting 3 (Taking a look at you Asurmen). I ponder if will see another enjoyable shut fight nonsense present up when a number of the different armies come out like Gray Knights and if there’s a true Salamanders ebook.
All hail the Primordial Annihilator!
