Cheap Black Legion Army

I'm a little late to the party on realising the sweet bargain that is the Chaos Space Marine Start Collecting box, I was playing around with Battlescribe and managed to make a 1500 point list that is pretty strong for just £130ish.

          ++ Total: [87 PL, 10 CP, 1,682pts] ++

On the field the army has great synergy with all of the <Demon>units getting buffs from the Masters of Posession and Greater Possessed buffed further still by Abaddon providing re-rolls to hit for all attacks. The units of Chaos Marines will grab objectives whilst everything else draws fire.

This force utilises the magic triangle for cheap armies:

Elite army to ensure high points to pounds ratio
Stacking good value Start Collecting Boxes
Point dense beatstick characters

Kits to buy:

2 x Start Collecting Chaos Space Marines
1 x Abaddon the Despoiler

I think a couple of Chaos Rhino's to transport the melee marines and Greater Possessed might be worth it and then maybe deep strike in Abaddon with the Obliterators, depending on the match up.

This army is incredible value, I'm seriously considering picking it up myself as I've always had a weakness to the dark gods. If you want to pick them up I have links to all the kits here:
