Master of Possession, Possessed, Legionaries and Cultists is a self-contained on-ramp but has no transport, no tank, and no daemon-engine firepower. Add a durable elite, an engine, and a vehicle.

Chaos Terminators x1 Durable deep-striking elite — a hammer the infantry-only box lacks. 🛒

Forgefiend x1 Daemon-engine firepower; the box has almost no ranged anti-tank. 🛒

Chaos Rhino x1 Cheap transport to deliver your Legionaries/Possessed up the midboard safely. 🛒

Chaos Predator x1 A tank to add tougher armour and another gun platform. 🛒
