Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: ‘SATX Shootout’ Chaos Space Marine ‘Triple Chosen’ List
Goatboy here with the Chaos Space Marine “Triple Chosen” armylist I plan on taking to the ‘SATX Shootout’ this coming weekend.
I was able to get away and throw down for some games. I figured I needed to test out a list and the only way to really do it is in an event. As a busy dad my weekends are normally taken up with kid stuff so finding time to get a game in is important for my sanity and just desire to play.
I decided to go with CSM as I had an itching to build up some Chosen units – especially some weird Nurgle ones from the Blight Lords kit. I have been sitting on a box of them for awhile and thought – why not shove some things together to get some cool Chosen. This also led me down a rabbit hole of updating all their weapons as the current Chosen load out is pretty nutty.
Thankfully I keep a lot of bits in jewelry boxes so I quickly found a ton of Combi weapons, other Close Combat options, and a ton of other cool bits. I kit bashed these guys up and then got to work updating the other two units, building some Rhinos up, and repainting a few things.
I also got lucky and found a mostly intact Forgefiend as well. It was just missing its top shield part so I had to get creative to cover that up. I definitely think that is a part of this whole process I love with just finding parts, building things, and hoping it all works. I miss the kitbashing aspects with the whole – every model has a kit option we currently have in 40K.
Anyway here is my list and some pics of the models I made too. The CSM Nurgle Chosen list is designed to put on a ton of pressure, devastating wound a lot of things, and wreck some stuff in combat.

Triple Chosen CSM Tactics
This is a CSM pressure list with the Rhinos pushing into the opponent quickly. The Possessed can be hidden bully’s to run around. The Changling holds the back and the Forgefiends do the long ranged damage work. The Nurglings help keep people honest, too and can do some actions as needed. It seems like it is a fun list and I have tried it once to a great success.
Wish me luck at the ‘SATX Shootout’ Grandfather Nurgle!
