What Next for My Chaos

[ElectricPaladin]

Now, when I first started playing Chaos, it was only because I got a bunch of Chaos ships with the BFG lot I bought at a flea market. Initially, I wasn't going to expand it at all beyond the purchase of three cruisers and a battleship to make it comprable to my Imperial fleet (because I figured that I wasn't going to meet a lot of opponents who already had their own fleets).

As it turns out, however, my only local opponent only plays Imperial, so my Chaos fleet is looking a lot more appealing. While I definitely love the unstoppable steamroller that is the Imperial fleet, there's also something fun about Chaos's speed, mobility, and long-range weapons.

Given my current collection, what do you think I'll get the most play out of when the time comes to expand this collection?

Hey, I guess you mean desolator bb.

Most obvious what you need is more standard cruisers. Carnages are excellent choices to use along the desolator and Styx. I guess others will tell you to add more carriers (devastation) but I use 1 Styx up to 1750 pts in my renegade fleet.

I see what you mean... A carnage would be a great addition. I definitely think that the Styx can supply a lot of my carrier needs, but it might be neat to add a devestation, too. The kit does make two cruisers.

Exactly, add a carnage and devastation.

[fracas]

2 carnages and 2 devastation

Well, yes, I would consider this too if you are going for 4 more.  I would also consider an Acheron in there unless you are content with your lance amount.

I would grab two more cruiser kits and put together a Devistation for games the Styx may be too big for. With your other three hulls Id go for a pair of Carnages/Murders because they make a great base for just about any fleet and an Acheron, with five cruisers another heavy is in order and the Acheron make great additions to the Carnages.

Depending on your budget...

1 box of cruisers: Carnage and Devastation.
2 boxes: add another Carnage then Acheron.

After that, do what you want, really. Other ships I'd consider are Havoc, Murder, and Hades.
