	*'''Obsidius Mallex (Fortitude):''' Your ~~lone~~ commander is pretty damn loaded for his lot. W5, a Sigil of Corruption for a 4+ invuln, a plasma pistol, and a thunder hammer makes him your premier assault unit. He's best suited for smashing opposing commanders and other heavy units.		*'''Obsidius Mallex (Fortitude):''' Your best commander is pretty damn loaded for his lot. W5, a Sigil of Corruption for a 4+ invuln, a plasma pistol, and a thunder hammer makes him your premier assault unit. He's best suited for smashing opposing commanders and other heavy units.
	*'''Cultist Firebrand (Ferocity, Strength):''' A Scout Marine statline with W3 and A3 might not seem like much compared to Mallex but he is 55-65pts cheaper and his Hellfire Torch hits like a truck, especially against GEQ. His suicide-bomber like ability on death is probably not something you generally want to exploit, as Commanders tend to be important to Commander Missions and a 5+ to deal 1 mortal wound to everything in 3" is not a reliable source of damage. Keep it in mind when he's near your own models though, as friendly fire does exist. Also with no Melee weapon and only S4 neither Specialism really synergizes.		*'''Cultist Firebrand (Ferocity, Strength):''' A Scout Marine statline with W3 and A3 might not seem like much compared to Mallex but he is 55-65pts cheaper and his Hellfire Torch hits like a truck, especially against GEQ.

	*'''Chaos Commissar (Ferocity, Fortitude, Leadership, Melee, Strategist, Strength):''' A Lord Commissar of Chaos, armed with Powerfist and Bolt Pistol. Trades away some shooting ability (BS3+, no plasma pistol) for a lesser but permanent, CP-free, version of the Commissar Aura, letting any Traitor Guardsmen within 6" use his Ld9 as their own (but not autopassing Nerve Tests). Additionally, he can +2 to advance and charge rolls for any one Traitor Guardsman within 6". But should you take him? He is 20 points 11 points cheaper than his Loyalist Guard counterpart would be, he represents the cheapest commander SotA can field while also being a solid combatant.		*'''Chaos Commissar (Ferocity, Fortitude, Leadership, Melee, Strategist, Strength):''' A Lord Commissar of Chaos, armed with Powerfist and Bolt Pistol.

	**Basically DG get to all be Heavies for free, completely invalidating a specialism. And then on top of that, as a bonus, they get something that is an entire subfaction for some of the other Factions. Good thing too, they absolutely needed the buff. Not like they were one of the best factions before or anything.		**Basically DG get to all be Heavies for free, completely invalidating a specialism.

	*'''Death to the False Emperor:''' You've seen it, you know. Any hit roll of a 6+ in close combat against an {{W40kKeyword\|IMPERIUM}} model generates another attack roll against the same target with the same weapon. These bonus attacks cannot generate further bonus attacks. Also note, it you take two or more Flesh Wounds, you will be unable to trigger DttFE, due to the -1 or worse to hit. But considering your lack of close combat weapon options, you should avoid close combat wherever possible.		*'''Death to the False Emperor:''' You've seen it, you know.

	*'''Favoured of Tzeentch:''' Gives the model a 5+ invulnerable save. A good fall back save if your Rubric marines get hammered with meltaguns and overcharged plasma guns (because of All is Dust, see above). Not the most reliable save, but AP is plentiful in Kill Team and as one of the few factions that have them, it's better than nothing.		*'''Favoured of Tzeentch:''' Gives the model a 5+ invulnerable save.

	*'''Krak Grenade:''' As a grenade weapon, you ignore the -1 to hit long range penalty. Only one grenade can be thrown per phase. A good option in a pinch to take down multi-wound models like Ork Nobs, Sicarans, Aberrants, Tyranids Warriors and the odd Primaris Marine.		*'''Krak Grenade:''' As a grenade weapon, you ignore the -1 to hit long range penalty.

	*'''Autocannon:''' At the same price point and both being exclusive to the same gunner, this completely replaces the Heavy Bolter. Stronger, deadlier and further reaching than the Heavy Bolter, the only remaining question is do you take this or the Missile Launcher?		*'''Autocannon:''' At the same price point and both being exclusive to the same gunner, this completely replaces the Heavy Bolter.

	*'''Missile Launcher:''' ~~<span style='color:red>'''[ADD YOUR OPINION HERE]'''</span>~~		*'''Missile Launcher:''' Krak missles trade a shot compared to the autocannon for S8 AP -3 and D D6 meanwhile your frag missile will delete GEQ swarms. This weapon is best for teams with very strong targets and very weak targets (hint, Tyranids) where as the autocannon is better against middle of the road teams.

	*'''Autogun:''' A lasgun by another name, don't expect these to do much, although be pleasantly surprised when they do. Rapid fire gives them a greater chance of doing something if they get into short range. Plus, no-one wants their 20pt+ model to die to a 4pt cultist, and some may blow their command re-roll to prevent just that.		*'''Autogun:''' A lasgun by another name, don't expect these to do much, although be pleasantly surprised when they do.

	*'''Cultists of the Abyss (Leader [Champion Only], Heavy [Gunner Only], Demolitions [Gunner Only], Combat, Veteran, Zealot):''' Squishier Guardsman with only a 6+ save, but they do offer something much needed by SotA, namely another source of AP offered by the fact that they come standard with Krak Grenades as well as their Autoguns and Frags.		*'''Cultists of the Abyss (Leader [Champion Only], Heavy [Gunner Only], Demolitions [Gunner Only], Combat, Veteran, Zealot):''' Squishier Guardsman with only a 6+ save, but they do offer something much needed by SotA, namely another source of AP offered by the fact that they come standard with Krak Grenades as well as their Autoguns and Frags.

If you're not taking her as your Leader or for his Shooting, you're probably better off not taking her at all and taking Chaos Beastmen and their better statline for only 1pt more.		**'''Cultists of the Abyss Champion (1):''' Swapping her Autogun for the superior Stubcarbine and Chainsword, this is your Sergeant equivalent Cultist, complete with +1A and +1Ld.

	*'''Chaos Beastmen (Leader, Combat, Demolitions, Veteran, Zealot):''' They're 2 points more than a guardsman, and they get quite a bit: +1 S/T and WS 3+. On top of that, they add +1 S/A whenever they charge.

	*'''Negavolt Cultists (Leader, Combat, Veteran, Zealot):''' Your not-Electropriests are probably the most expensive chaff you can net. Their lone weapons hit on 3+ on S+2, but scoring a 6+ on the hit makes it 3 hits, which is neat. They have two means of real protection (as in nothing with a 6+) from a 5+ Feel No Pain and a 5+ invul from the Voltagheist field, which can also deal a mortal wound when charging.		*'''Negavolt Cultists (Leader, Combat, Veteran, Zealot):''' Your not-Electropriests are probably the most expensive chaff you can net.
