Notes: This is my first attempted Army list so don't be too harsh
The list goes for looks and fluff over substance, except in the case of the woefully small Obliterator (at least for IW) unit. I should probably beef them up a little, but the list mostly takes into account the models that I own.

The Marked units are going to be converted to make them more fluffy for a non-aligned army, as someone on Warseer suggested. The Nurgle units are going to be servitors, and the Khornate unit the new inductees.

What unit is the Lord going with? Most people tend to pick Daemon Princes but IW dont like mutation like that. Seems ok, but mixing weapons in a Havoc squad? It's not too good a idea. but i suppose you have anti tank (autocannon, las cannon missile launcher) that can be used as anti infantry (missile frag, autocannon, heavy bolter) and i recommend a powerfist or at least a power weapon on the Skull Champion.

I like this list. You have some cool stuff going on. A bunch of different units. Some firepower and some mobility.

I'd second not mixing the havoc squad weapons quite so much. I'd mix no more than 2 and 2.

I like the inclusion of the terminators. very fluffy. I might suggest losing one or two and gaining a few more troops or using the extra points for a raptor squad...assuming the game doesn't allow for the hellblade.

Standardize your combi weapons. If you're going take a HW in a CSM squad might as well take something big (lascannon).

Two words: Hidden Fist. Why do your Plague marines and Berserkers not have them? Also special weapons on the Plague marines.

1 Vindicator @ 145 Pts

Take 2-3 or none at all. You don't have enough vehicles to make a dent at 2k but you do have just enough for them to flounder and die before doing anything. Bring more or take them out completely.

I agree as well with avantgarde, with the new rules tanks are not super strong, so you will need more of them than you would have 4th ed.

So should I remove the Havoc squad entirely, and replace it with another Vindicator, and spend the remaining points on a AC for the DG squad.

Alternatively i could put in a predator, but I think that the Vindicator would be better overall.

What should the Combi weapon for the termies be if I standardise it? I don't think I have enough Anti infantry, so maybe flamers?

Seems to be ok, btw be wary of you dreadnought, with a gun that powerful you dont want it to flip out on you so keep it as far away as you can from your men is poossible. Combi flamer seems good, as you will never skuff up the one shot with a miss.
