Chaos Space Marine Squad

"We are legion!"

The Chaos Space Marines are the backbone of the armies of Chaos. As a tough and versatile unit, they are heavily armed, armored, and highly skilled. While similar to loyalist Space Marines, they lack their trust and faith, resulting in lower Morale. They favour anti-personnel weaponry like the Heavy Bolter and the Plasma Gun and are proficient in melee combat as well.

After Furious Charge is researched, once within 15 range of their target when on Assault stance, Chaos Space Marines gain a +50% movement bonus to their speed, enabling them to quickly close the distance with other units into melee. This is in addition to the +20% movement bonus Furious Charge offers to the unit's base speed.

Tactics

A popular tactic for the use of these warriors of Chaos is to purchase the Extra Heavy Weapons upgrade. Once researched, it is possible to equip your squads with up to four heavy weapons. These may be Heavy Bolters, which require a Chaos Armoury or Plasma Guns upon reaching the Unholy Monastery. Both are powerful tools against the enemy and allow Chaos Space Marines to outshoot almost any ranged infantry they may encounter.

Weapon upgrades aside, the real kicker is the fact that fully upgraded, the Chaos Space Marines are Infiltrated and cannot be attacked unless discovered by a Detector unit. However, apart from certain heroes, most Detectors are fairly weak and a fully equipped squad of Chaos Space Marines should have little problem taking them out. Clever use of the Infiltration ability and the Hold Fire command can let you sneak several squads to positions where your opponent would least suspect it.
