the raptors are the cohort to the Daemon Prince, to help keep him from being overwhelmed. the marines with icon of nurgle and the thousand suns are ground/objective holders. the predator and defiler are there to keep enemies locked down, while the havocs rain death.


this is the first list, i think the 2nd is an improvement

I would replace your Chaos Space Marines w/t Mark of Nurgle for Plague Marines. 10 Plague Marines w/t 2 Meltaguns will equal the same amount of points as your Chaos Marines and they are t 4(5), Fearless, and Feel no pain.

I'd also keep your havocs to a squad of 5 w/t 4 H.weapons that are not mix-matched, a lot of people like to use 4 Missile Launchers or 4 Heavy Bolters, I personally like to use 4 Autocannons.

And not every squad needs an Aspiring Champion unless you want to have a Power Fist/Weapon or Combi-Weapon. They also do not need a Chaos Glory Icon, unless you want to give them that boost.

On Terminators, the current favored tactic on how to field them is a squad of 3 all with combi-meltas and a chain-fist, field them what ever way you want to, but keeping them as a squad of 3 makes them cheap and effective so that you can fit them into any army list.

Your Daemon Prince is pretty good, but taking Mark of Tzeentch is expensive just to give him Warp Time and Doom Bolts, I would recommend giving him Bolt of Change or Winds of Chaos rather than Doom Bolts.


Just a few thoughts to chew on.

On the Predator or Defiler, I would field a Predator with Sponson Lascannons and a turret mounted Lascannon, if not that then a Defiler for sure.

For your Raptors, Giving them Mark of Khorne is a great idea, it gives them a good amount of attacks and will allow you to deep strike your Terminators in to give their assault a huge punch.
