The point of this isn't necessarily to win, but is meant just to be hilarious to take onto the field, and who knows, they might actually work.

1500 point list... anyway...

meant for more of a breakthrough army than anything else, terminators get through via deep strike and tie up things that can potentially destroy the vindicators.

HQ: daemon prince of khorne (giving him a chance, he did kill 2 leman russ tanks the last game i used him... and didn't take a wound...) with wings, 140.
Chaos terminator lord (90 +30), mark of khorne (10) bloodfeeder (25) total: 155
(yep, he's dead.)

10 chaos space marines (150), 1 melta gun (10) 1 lascannon (20) aspiring champion with power weapon (15+15 = 30) total: 215

8 khorne berserkers: 21 points each; total 168 points, +15 for skull champion, +15 for a power weapon. total: 198 points.
rhino (35) with combi weapon (10) [i know berserkers suck, this might be substituted out for say, more terminators at some point and more marines, but for now, i'm experimenting with the rhino, and pending its performance things will be changed accordingly]
heavy support:

3 vindicators: 375
[WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! BOOM!]
elites:

six terminators (180) all champions (60) 5 chainfists (75) 6 combi weapons (will change these as required, but probably going to be 2* flamers 2*plasmas, 2*meltas) (30) Icon of khorne (30) total: 375
[might want to hold off on the chainfists a bit, but they could kill that pesky carnifex... or landraider...]
total: 1498

Not the only list, but one of the ones i'd really like to use. Unfortunately for myself, i can't afford more models at this point, otherwise i'd be going slaanesh instead, not that i want to, but because of how bad khorne is. This is not a tournament list by any means, but it is a scenario specific one. Basically, the only way that it would be even possible to succeed with this list is with a lot of terrain hopping. I give you cheeses.

Indeed, this list is not very competitive.
Two HQs in 1500 pt games is a but much. I'd replace one HQ by a Slaaneshi DP with lash, and take 2 Berzerker squads in Rhinos that go after the 'lashed' units.

3 Vindicators is a bit of silly genius, to be honest. To make such a nasty congregation of firepower that the enemy just can't afford to ignore due to damage potential, you could probably sneak a lot of nasty assault troops by.

I'd actually probably drop the terminators in favor of something fast like bikers or raptors with an icon to summon daemons close to the enemy - they would have exactly one turn to blow up your tanks before they were stopped by daemons, and then had a world of other troubles when the assault hits the next turn.

Three vindicators...

I like!

awsome

Change out the termie lord for a normal lord with wings or jetpack

Well, it actually worked pretty well in the apocalypse match i had today. the berserkers died to some grey knight terminators, killing only 1 in return. the vindicators... i lost 1 off the bat, (as well as the berserkers' rhino) but the rest remained operational throughout the game, and laid a lot of damage to the enemies (terminators and a razorback... destroyed the razorback's gun, killed 2 of 5 terminators, who ran) in turn two, but missed a lot all the other times fired. other than that... the lord and retinue deep striked in, killed a dreadnought by firing to its back, then got baslisked, the only survivor of which was the lord, who proceeded to kill 6 grey knight terminators on his own.

Overall, the vindicators were fine for their points; a number of terminators isn't shabby. the guardsmen I missed however, proceded to get the objective, which was really unfortunate, because we lost the game. the terminators... well, these things just happen. I'm very happy with my lord's performance. probably nabbed 2-3 times his points cost in a few rounds, and later would have gone against some rangers. I wants to use this again. it was FUN.

The Khorneflakes are always fun to field no matter how hard they get nerfed. I agree with spellbound that 3 vindis are an irrational but oddly effective idea. I wonder what would have happened had you taked 3 khornate dreads.

that looks fun to play with
