Kill Team 29 - Legionary Marines

This is the team that's stomping the scene right now. They are powerful, have some neat tricks, can take a shot or two and are not too complex. What's not to like?

I made this team up from existing compendium teams, each specialist is clearly identified and there is a mix of Khorne and Nurgle type marines.

I have a Nurgle inspired Champion, another Nurgle Shrivetalon, Khorne heavy bolter and Icon and Nurgle plasma. I have a Thousand sons chain cannon dude who represents the Reaper Chain cannon even though it's not techincally the correct weapon. I have a Khorne Missile Launcher that can fill out the roster.

The mighty Gareth Balefire!

Gareth with his little mate, the annointed. A 2020 figure alongside a 1990 figure showing just how big and tasty the newer figures are. I think my anointed was one of the very first chaos space marines out. Whatever, he's a classic piece of history, shows how long I've had an interest in this game and he does the job. I rarely take the anointed anyhow...

The usual team for this roster is the Champion with plasma and power blade, the Balefire, the Shrivetalon, the Heavy bolter, or course the plasma and then I like to take the short range Icon, with pistol and chainsword. I feel that this dude is great for locking down an objective, he's handy if charged and he is also the second member to carry the free ploy Favoured by the Dark Gods. 

This sixth member can change around depending on match up, some like the Butcher when there is a melee threat, some like the Anointed because he's an absolute monster and why not. 

The team tends to be played, by me, with Nurgle all round. The damage limitation is cool and I've not got the brains to work out when the other stuff works better.
