Machine Pit

The Chaos army's vehicle production facility.

Tactics

The forces of Chaos are blessed with the most durable vehicle construction building in the game (with the exception of Necron Monolith). It is also constructed within the reasonable 45 seconds and has an average cost. Finally, like all Chaos buildings, it can scare enemies away from it, while healing allies.

When the Chaos player enters Tier 2, s/he can make a choice between building a Machine Pit or a Sacrificial Circle first. While the Sacrificial Circle is cheaper, allowing you to reach the Tier 3 faster, it can only produce Horrors, which are only ever useful against vehicles. On the other hand, the Tier 2 Chaos Defiler can provide excellent support for your infantry, while the Hell Talon is an great AV unit.
