Well my first outing with the BLOODzerkers was a fiasco, Dark Eldar wiped them out to a man.

So here is attempt 2.

I see it as 3 waves of attack. The chosen are already up front. The Plasma Havocs in a rhino, and bikes rush forward, hide at the end of turn 1. On turn 2 run out and shoot something up. They get assaulted.

The Prince, Chaos Lord and Rhino with bezerkers arrives to reinforce the first wave.

The 2 squads of walking CSMs run behind them.

Finally the 2 vindicators stay back and shoot.

I dunno. Any comments?

It seems to me that you'd do well leaving the Chaos Space Marines at home for more Berzerkers, troops-wise, and ditching the out-of-place Slaaneshi Prince for more troops and more transports.

Give the Havoc's two Flamethrowers and two Meltaguns and you can do effective drive-bys, as well as handle both hordes and armour.

The Vindicators shouldn't stay back and shoot, as they can grind forward and shoot perfectly well and they're really short ranged. I suggest a pintle-mounted weapon for survivability - it would only take three glancing hits to destroy your Vindicators, one weapon destroyed and one immobilized. Also it prevents your main armament from being knocked out so easily. It might be an idea to take Defilers instead, particularly if you're planning on facing Dark Eldar again: more mobile, can fire in assaults, more weapons for more survivability, and a battle-cannon for range.

I'd suggest risking a Daemon Weapon on the Lord, and maybe a Jump-Pack or a Bike to get him where he's going fast. If he has a bike and travels with the Bike squad then he's well protected, and they can save his ass when his Daemon weapon fights back.

Nurglitch spouts blasphemy! Khorne's sacred number is 8, and thine mighty berzerkers must heed it!

I would just change the CSM squads to 'Zerker squads, get rid of the plasma pistols, and then you're done!

You may also want to consider that flamers = win in 5th edition, and since your havocs are in a rhino, they can totally jump out and do some burnin', so the range isn't an issue.

Also, get rid of the Slaanesh prince, because the mighty god Khorne abhors Slaanesh, and the Space Emperor will laugh at your army every time you show up to play, because no one is silly enough to take Khorne and Slaanesh together! It's like dogs playing poker!

there is a lack of bezerkers and your HQ's take away from your khorne theme

Firstly the deamon prince, scratch him and go for a sorceror, a sorceror can b transported and hidden in squads, and if you h=give him warptime then he can re-role any missed shots in your squad, pritty handy if you ask me. and also your elites, i dont really think chosen marines really are much better than normal marines, instead try a dreadnought, and at first people think chaos dreadnought, nig no, just a waste of time, well they aint the only realy risk of harm is if you role a 1 on a D6 and he goes fire frenzy and your troops are near otherwise, go for a dreadnought.
hope that helps

BloodDeathAssault

Gotta say I was shocked to see the Lash Prince in there, so unfluffy and cheestastic. And surprised you're not taking a bloodfeeder, I figure you'd get a big kick out of that thing (and it even has BLOOD in the name). Here's my take on your list, not too many tweaks but it sticks with the theme and such:

HQ
Chaos Lord - MoK, bloodfeeder = 140
Chaos Lord - MoK, lightning claws, melta bombs = 135

ELITES
8 Chosen - IoK, 3 meltaguns, AC w/ lightning claws = 239

TROOPS
8 Berzerkers - SC w/ powerfist; rhino w/ extra armor = 258
8 Berzerkers - SC w/ powerfist; rhino w/ extra armor = 258
8 CSM - IoK, plasma gun, AC w/ powerfist = 205
8 CSM - IoK, plasma gun, AC w/ powerfist = 205

FAST ATTAK
3 Bikers - 2 melta guns = 119

HEAVY SUPPORT
Skulldicator - possessed = 145
Bloodication - possessed = 145

TOTAL
1849 points

Not too horrible I think, good number of troops and kill potential everywhere. Should be loads of fun.

- Salvage

I agree that you should have 8 men in a squad due to the scared number, you had to adhere to the fluff. Out goes the deamon prince anf the havocs, aas have you thought about the best deivery system in the game for your Lord and his kick a*s squad, a big fat Landraider as then they can just fly up the middle and keep all at bay whilest the rest of the army trundles along on foot.

Just a suggetion as I know how good Ladraiders are!

You are getting your kicked because this list isn't built properly.

I don't know if I can salvage it but I'll try.

I hope this helps.

Zerkers run, Zerkers run, Termies come in and play with you.

Without Land Raiders, Khorne will always be weak versus certain mech builds.

Nothing you can really do about that, but I included meltabombs, meltaguns, and chainfists so you aren't completely gimped.

The Zerkers have Icons so Termies will go where you want them.
