Hi all, first post and first army list for you all to chip away at.

I'll start first with my intentions. I'm looking at making a list with a strong assault core (2x 'zerkers in rhinos and 2 warptime daemon princes) backed up by loads of heavy weapons (3x 2man obliterators and 2 3man bike squads with melta)...basically soften up the opponent with heavy fire while advancing up the center or on a flank to assault key targets.

the list is this :

2x 8man berzerker squad, 1 w/ pistol, rhino w/ daemonic possession
2x daemon prince w/ wings and warptime
3x 2man obliterators
2x 3man bike squads w/ two meltaguns

1474 pts.

I built the 'rough draft' for redundancy of threats, to buy time for at least one of the assault units to get there versus a shooty army in case heavy support can't maim ranged threats enough to make it safe.

What I'd most appreciate are people's experiences and thoughts on where I can cut some of the redundant elements and enhance my overall "take-all-comers" game. Anyways to strengthen the assault core are appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Also, I'm looking at this as a effectiveness first, fluff last sort of thing. I've already got the fluff (history, etc) down and want to ensure that the list has a reasonable chance of playing well before I bust open the piggy bank (PIGGY BANK FOR THE BLOOD GOD!)
