I've got a game at the FLGS in about an hour, so it seems like a good time to try out the new book. That said, while I've got a gazillion models, about half a gazillion aren't put together. I don't want to take on that chore until I have an idea what direction I want to take the list.
Scratch that. Turns out, the Horrors are in the dip. I had this vague, partially formed idea that I'd use the smaller, metal Horrors as Blue Horrors to fill out units. So in the dip they went!
Scratch that. Except the part about being rusty. Turns out, without Army Builder to help me kick around lists, I'm forced to resort to...
...creating a spreadsheet to do the work for me. Can't kick around with a pen and a blank piece of paper anymore.
So I just built a Chaos Space Marine Roster. Talk about lazy.

I'm currently spending more time making a custom Excel spreadsheet than studying the army book. Hopefully that will help me get a handle on the book. There are just so many options it's hard to wrap my head around it.
Light years above the last book in that respect.
I'm just glad to see Brent talking about daemons again.
Stand out unit combo's in this codex are.
1. HOT, Lvl 3 Psyker, Exalted Conjurations Team up with a unit of horrors.
2. HOS with Lesser, Greater, Stead & Greater Beguilement teamed up with fiends or seekers.
3. GUO with Lvl 2 Psyker (Bomancy) & Greater gifts.
4. HOT, Disc, Lesser and Greater Gift teamed up with screamers.
5. Seeker Cavalcade.
Ohh and SoulGrinder with MON. I won't ever use one myself but stand that baby in cover and watch your enemy weep...
Powerfists on your CSM Champs are now pretty pointless, as they will be called\will call out a challenge and probably be killed before Init 1. If you're going to bother with Veterans of the Long War on them, give them the CC weapon. Trim a squad out and get a Daemon prince of Tzeentch or Nugle (Tzeentch rerolls 1's, and Nugle will get a jink of 3+ with shrouded) and the Black Mace (since its MC AP 2 overules the normal AP of the weapon...the only problem is no sweeping with nurgle)
