Editing Warhammer 40,000/6th Edition Tactics/Chaos Space Marines (section)

====Tactics====
With every unit taking VotLW, this means you will have to look for alternative choices of units or wargears they can take. With Chosen as Troops, you can have a small unit with only a heavy weapon like a Lascannon or Autocannon, and have them sit on an objective. This gives them an advanatge over Cultists. With the Artefacts mostly being mediocre at best, this limits your options more (Not that they're all bad). On the bright side, you have better leadership across the board with most units, plus having a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch with Eternal Warrior is cheese, especially if you use them as allies in a Screamerstar list. 

The best way to play the Black Legion is by taking advantage of your scoring Chosen squads, kit them with special weapons of your choice, and load them in METHAL BAWKSES! Even Combi-bolters aren't bad if you want to keep them cheep, just add another Chosen with a Meltagun and you're set. Using a mix of Chaos Marines and Chosen units gives you more mileage. Since Chosen will carry a lot of special weapons, you don't have to worry about adding them into Marine squads, but do have them watch the Chosen's back. Brothers look out for each other afterall!

It's also wise to invest your points into tanks instead of units like Havocs and Obliterators if you want firepower without paying for the required Veterans tax, and thus the Defiler and Helbrutes can see more use, albeit the ladder can be unreliable. On the otherhand, Typhus can bring Zombie Cultists, and they can't take VotLW, which makes them excellent Troop choices. Also consider which unit should take Marks, if any. Keep in mind that quanity over quality is better in this edition, so use Marks with caution if you plan on taking them. If you commonly face Loyalists however, then it's best for you to take advantage of the mandatory upgrade and kit many units for close combat.

The Black Legion is a mixed bag, some of their unique traits work, and others are left to be more desired. Use every bit of advantage you have with this army, even if its just to have one Chosen unit to capture an objective while adding anti tank firepower to your warband. Similarly, keep a few of your squads cheep, and only upgrade those that needs it. If you're going use Black Legion as a fluff army, then by all means enjoy your Chosenwing, and show the universe how proud you are to be in the largest warband, and fight on for the Dark Gods of Chaos!
