Marine Dreadnought

For every Chaos Space Marine Warhammer 40K fans?
I've been playing Warhammer 40K for a while with the Imperial Guard and Space Marines, but I am new in the Chaos Space Marines. What is the state that you 'when it comes to a "Joint Army of God" as marines Plage, Berzerkers Khorne, etc. all in the same field. I have a Black Legion army with some Berzerkers but mostly Khorne Chaos Space Marines regular bicycles, Rhino, Land Raiders and battleships, but it's a good idea to combine some pest or thousand sons marines in the army, etc, or put the mark of Tzeentch, Nurgle, etc in Kharn the Betrayer (HQ my favorite)? Any and all advice from the players as green as grass or experienced veterans in the table would be much appreciated. I do not know if you are concerned about the everything "points to Yahoo for answers from Yahoo, but I'll give the advice most appreciated by 10 points.
You'll find a mix of opinions on this subject. Some players believe that the gods of the mixture into an army is tantamount to heresy. Others believe that certain combinations are fine, but others do not. I do not know the least one player who combines units like Khorne Berserkers and plague marines, but its army has a theme Slaanesh: streamlines rules of Khorne and Nurgle slaaneshi terms. Personally, I think this approach is fine, provided it is perfectly clear that the unit is and what the rules of an opponent should wait to see the implementation of a particular model. The codex was designed with the mixture armies into account and adopt a monomaniac is commendable in terms of thematic armies, but it will make life more difficult for you in terms of competition. That said, in tournaments, each time points are awarded for the "composition", which means that the armies set out to conquer all suffer in the ratings: a kind of handicap system. In this system, strongly thematic armies suffer no disadvantage (or maximum or close to achieving comp points maximum). So at the end of the day's six of one and half dozen others. If you have a painted army and lead a positive and friendly attitude then you'll never lack for a game.

When Do You Know a Warhammer 40k Army Isn’t For You?
Unless you are new to Warhammer 40k, chances are this has happened to you. When it happens, it can take any number of forms, be it the army no longer grabbing your eye, or that the inspiration that motivated you to begin the army is no longer there.
Other forms include playing and finding out an army is not suited to your play style, for example a Chaos Marine player being too fond of death or glory style assaults might find themselves moving onto an army more expendable troops.
It might simply turn out that you find your army no longer unique, with everyone else collecting it, or worse yet, all of the above.
Certainly this is what happened with my Space Marines, and it is the cost incurred, or rather wasted, that inspired me to write this cautionary tale.
I got into Warhammer 40k through the Dawn of War computer games, and the Dreadnought was my favorite unit in the game, after all what is not cool about a huge robot piloted by an undead hero? So I went with my heart and played Space Marines to use Dreadnoughts.
So that is what I did, collecting Dreadnoughts, building every possible combination that I could, before long I had four, and adding other Space Marine forces made sense, tactical squads, assault squads, even a battle force. But these models, however great they looked (not mine), captured my imagination the way Dreadnoughts did.
Flash-forward a few months and my friend was getting back into Warhammer 40k, starting with the Assault on Black Reach set, collecting Space Marines. Avoiding the same army battle provides the excuse to move onto Chaos Space Marines, who being the Uber-villains of Warhammer 40k captured my imagination in a way Space Marines could not. Finding many Space Marine players at my local Games Workshop encouraged this desertion, and it is unlikely I will bother with a Space Marine Army again.
This is not to say I am off Space Marines completely, I still think the models look great, in fact there is an unpainted Dreadnought on my shelf right now. Even looking at them in White Dwarf, reading about them in the books, or seeing an army on a website, sets me thinking of what I could do with them. Just last week I got an idea for a White Consul army after reading Dark Creed by Anthony Reynolds, but while I might attempt the odd display piece, if I think about it, I know such army would be lucky to see the tabletop.
So I continue to refrain from buying any more Space Marines, beyond the occasional part for a conversion, or indulging myself with a Dreadnought. As for what I already own, I am selling it to clear space. Hopefully reading this will ensure you never find yourselves in the same position.
