So the idea behind this army is simple. A small fragment of the Dark Wolves Company of Steel is leading some Traitor Guard. These aren't crazy chaos renegades, they have no marks. They are just sick of the Imperiums crap.
Fire Raptor with rending all round + a valkyrie should be able to handle any air threats.
The terminators may or may not deploy in the Land Raider, depending on if I feel like deep striking them or not.
11 Troops for objective scoring.
1 squad of Vets in the Valk for an Air Drop.
A fair amount of Armour Saturation.
LR Vanquisher, LC, Co-Axial Heavy Stubber, Militia Training - 155
LR Punisher, HB Sponsons, Militia Training - 160
Dark Wolves - 849
Warp Smith - 110
Chaos Space Marines, +3 Close Combat Weapon, Meltagun, +5 Mark of Khorne, +5 Veterans of the Long War - 100
Rhino - 35
Chaos Terminators, +3 Combi Melta, +3 Mark of Khorne, Veterans of the Long War - 128
Land Raider - 230
Chaos Fire Raptor, Malefic Ammunition (HB’s) - 250
Looking for opinions, comments, input, etc. Also, if you can rate this list on a scale of 1-5 (1 being worst, 5 best) in a couple categories:
1) Competitiveness at a FLGS tourny.
2) Units make sense to the list.
3) Would be fun to play against for casual gaming.
It certainly will do well, but its nothing ground breaking. I would toss the land raider and terminators for some other form of armor. Also, why a warpsmith? Why not something else? Sorcerers are very good right now, especially with spell familiars.
I'd give it a 4.

Warp Smith because it's the Company of Steel. A little fluffy. Plus I can leave the warp smith with the Leman Russes or in the LR for repairs. Are sorcerers without marks any useful?
I'm not a fan of the other armor for CSM. I'm staying away from Demons in this list, and predators/vindicators are too squishy for me. :/
Terminators are to give it more of a 'space wolves' feel.
