Thanks for the content Tom! I'm a new CSM player and have been using 2 x5 Warp Talons, 2 x3 Biker, and 1 x5 Possessed as my screening units. It is nice because The Bikers and possessed can soften a target up to unsure the warp talons can kill it and get off the board. I wish the CSM army had more options for scout and infiltrate beside nurglings(which I love) and accursed cultists.
Hey Tom, loving the content, only recently saw you have this channel! I'll give you my take on the CSM. Talons are great if they get to use their ability. However lacking the chaos icon you are at real risk of failing a pact and losing a model. Without sustained or as a 4 man you really aren't guaranteed to get your kill and will end up trading down. This is remedied in certain factions e.g. Vets, PBZ or CoB if you can get a buff them. For me the top early trading in all my games is Bikes. Speedy 6 OC surprisingly good output for 70 points. Shout out as well to Noise marines, sad to see them leaving soon, as they are really great small arms fire in an army with lethal hits on demand.

Really glad you enjoyed!! These are very solid options- totally agree the having to use nurglings is daft haha

Lots of great points here! Talons are definitely very frustrating at times haha
