No.

If you take it, take it as early as possible or leave crewmen with one missing point.

Eldrathain, plz go.

So I've just started a chaos fleet, I was wondering what chaos ships you sexy people use and why?

Might have bumped into three ram ships which will shrekt# your low armor prow

carnage with slaneesh favor is basically mandatory for eldar killing, just like the table top. otherwise your goal is to keep your opponent as far away as possible. chaos has pretty solid favors all around, they all have a use.

Pretty much what Said.

I have a light cruiser and a battleship both Tzeentch and they are usually good enough to hold off two armies at once unless they are really good or my partner is a fucking tard and gets me killed.

Honestly I'd recommend a Slaanesh ship and a Tzeentch ship for countering eldar.

Nurgle or tzeentch for countering orks(nurgle's ability won't do much but it can still be somewhat of a deterrent against close range beginner to mid tier ork players)

Khorne or Tzeentch for Imperials (for some reason it's laughable easy to board imperial ships so Khorne can do some real fucking damage)

And for chaos just use whatever you feel most comfortable with. But I would recommend Tzeentch because of chaos range.

All that being said, I can safely say I never ran into a Tzeentch fleet that could beat me.

How does it feel to be a buttblasted chaosfag?

I run mixed Tzeentch (carriers) and Slaanesh (brawlers). I prefer Slaughters over Carnages, though, even for elves. The trick is not to give into AP macros and hover at 6k, out of AP, boarding, and heavy kannon reach, and Slaanesh any go-getters that try to close distance. Counter-intuitively you want cogitator link, slaves, and reload most of the time for your favour to recharge. Further capitalize on that with bombs. Engine upgrades are a must, but it's effective, infuriating, and perfectly in flavour.

I miss TT slaughterers. one of the upgrades you could give them was unblockable burst damage at close range, which, combined with their speed, made them great candidates for getting right behind imperial lines where they had low armor and no guns.

are there any fleets y'all just cannot seem to win with? I have no trouble with eldar or imperial fleets, and I'm not awful with orks, but I can even get past level 4 with a chaos fleet. I just don't know how to use their light cruisers and escorts! are there special properties to missile pods?
