Editing Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Kill Team(8E) Chaos (section)

===Why Play Servants of the Abyss===
*'''Pros'''
**Beastmen, Dark Mechanicus, and Rogue Psykers
**You might gain a perverse sense of glee in drowning your enemies with MELEE attacks
**Unlike vanilla CSM, your marines can actually buff your mook horde and use them as literal meat shields.
**Servants of the Abyss are an excellent way to represent the Tyrant's Legion or Lost and Damned for some old school [[Badab War]] and [[Vraks|Siege of Vraks]] Kill Team goodness.
**Servants of the Abyss are one of only two factions, the other being Grey Knights, that can bring an entire team of psykers if you so choose.
**Negavolts are surprisingly tough by combining invuilnerables and fanatical devotion.
**Actually got support after release unlike literally every other non-Core faction. Might even get more as new BSF expansions are written and/or converted. Even ESS and GI which came in an honest-to-Emperor Official Manual, and the earliest of all expansions, can't claim the same.
**Finally out of Beta!
*'''Cons'''
**No Chaos marks or icons.
**Obsidius is your only reliable heavy-hitter. the only other option you have is krak grenades to crack harder targets.
**These guys cannot supplement an existing Chaos Marines force. Not even your beastmen and guardsmen have the CSM keywords to be of use.
**With even fewer special and heavy weapon options than vanilla CSM, Servants of the Abyss are sorely lacking in ranged firepower. CQB is where they need to be, what shooting they have is mostly just to keep the enemy's heads down while they get there.
**Servants of the Abyss probably would've been ''far'' better served as an expansion to CSM rather than standing alone as their own faction. Warp knows, the CSM really could've used what the Servants bring to the table.
**One of the "fun" factions, mostly for fluffy and friendly games. Being particularly limited in your choice of units, options, and abilities generally means you're outclassed as soon as any of the main factions get serious and start optimizing, particularly once commanders and elites get involved.
