1st Codex of 6th Edition: Chaos Space Marines "Abaddon plus Epidemius" sample Builds










After reviewing Abaddon and his rules and buffs. Here are two lists running this combination. Both are geared towards racking the Tally count quick and will work well in the current meta of Infantry and/or blob squad use.

There is also enough S7 worked in to glance almost anything to death; with  melta guns to deal with the rare Land Raider, etc.

I will let you guess what squads go in the Bastions and who hangs with Epi and Abby, etc.

One list uses Abby to unlock Chosen as troops for some extra firepower, but less durability.

Keep in mind, once Tally rises most everything does well in CC. Early on is all about shooting. Epi is a huge buff to the list, but it will not be game breaking if he dies.

I like the Nurgalanch for the possibilities, but in all honesty in my 10+ games in the old codex with Epi the game was a win with out him anyway. However, he does turn a slight/medium win into a massacre.

For this reason I would not typically bring such a list for casual play unless the parameters discussed with my opponent prior included things like contest prep, etc.

  1. The Epi combo with CSM is just sick. I know it's powerful, but I agree that I just don't think I could bring myself to do it outside of a tournament.

    The fact that it can boost enemy Nurgle units too is such an uncommon occurrence that it's really not that much of a limit.

    ...well running into nurgle just might happen more often now :)


    I also agree not the most friendly of lists...though, frankly, would not feel bad versus Grey Knights.

    Also, I will create a very ugly list just to see how I would envision beating it, if possible.

    Thanks for the feedback!

  3. Are you putting Epi in a squad? If not, I'm fairly certain he'll get nuked as soon as he comes in with all the firepower possible to hit him.

    Absolutely. Either Nurgling squad will do.

    Thanks for the comment,
