Hi!
I'm starting a CSM army and I'd like to go with a Khorne-only theme. Here is the list I came up with (1750 pts) :

- Chaos Lord, MoK, Terminator armour, Axe of Blind Fury, Veteran @155
- 4x Terminators, MoK, IoW, Veterans, 2 with Power Axes, 1 with two Lightning Claws, Champion with two Lightning Claws @204
- Land Raider, Dirge Caster @235 (as a Heavy Support, not D.T.)

- 10x CSM, IoV, Autocannon @175

- 8x Berserkers, IoW, Veterans @185
- Rhino, Havoc Launcher, Dirge Caster, Extra armour @65

- 10x Cultists @50

- 10x Cultists @50

- Heldrake with Baleflamer @170

- Forgefiend with 2x Hades Autocannons @175

- Predator, two Lascannons, Havoc Launcher @127

== 1748


My current meta is SM, SW, BA, Necrons, Orks with max 1 flyer each (if any)

The idea it to smash things to pieces with the Termy/Lord combos (staing away from TH/SS termys or big termy squads) and the Raptors. The Zerkers will try to capture objectives in enemy territory while the CSM will camp on my side (or midd field) in a ruin and shoot with the autocannon and bolters. I will keep the Cultists in reverves for a "late" game capture of objectives on my side of the board. The Predator and the Forgefiend will shoot from my deployment zones while the Heldrake will bring havoc around the board.

I'm not sure a the moment what set of Warlod Traits suit me best. At the moment I'm thinking the CSM one or the Strategic one from the Rulebook


What do you guys think? Please do not hold back cause I'm starting with CSM so I don't known them very well. But keep in mind that I really want to stay mono-Khorne )

Thank you!

Hi!
I revised the list a bit, shuffling things around and dropping a couple of units. I also asked my good pal Nurgle to lend me a unit of his Obliterators

- Chaos Lord, MoK, Terminator armour, Axe of Blind Fury, Veteran of the Long War, combi-plasma @162
- 3x Chaos Terminators, MoK, IoW, Veterans, 1x combi-plasma + power fist, 1x dual Lightning Claws, Champion with Lightning Claw + Power Fist @184

- 8x Berzerkers, IoW, Veterans, Champion with Power Sword @200
- Chaos Land Raider, Dirge Caster, Dozer Blade @240

- 6x CSM, MoK, 5 CCW, Flamer @113
- Rhino, Dirge caster @40

- 5x CSM, MoK, 5 CCW, Flamer @98
- Rhino, Dirge caster @40

- 20 Cultists @90

- 3x Oblits, Mark of Nurgle, Veterans @237

- 1x Forgefiend, 2x Hades autocannons @175

- 1x HelDrake, Baleflamer @170

== 1749

Lord and Termy will DS near an interesting target, the Berzerkers will drive the Land Riders deep in the enemy lines while the 2 CSM units will hunt objective campers and the Oblits will march up field while providing cover fire. When they came in from reserves, the cultist will go sit on an objective in my deployment zone with the protection of the dino-bot. And the Drake will do whatever he want

One possibile future modification is to replace the Forgefiend with another HelDrake (if needed and when I get the second drake )

What do you guys think?
