My Princes kept getting shot up the turn they lashed, so swapped them for sorcerors. Opted to keep the wings off, since i'll be keeping them safely nestled in the squads. Other than that, made some sacrifises to keep the model count heavy, since I didn't have the staying power with other builds. Weaknesses obviously include anti AV14 and CC, but with the Sorcerors giving me usually an additional round of fire on closing targets, the assault is usually thinned enough for my PM's to handle, and worst case scenario, a choice counter assault via the NM's. Opinions welcome.

A nice solid core of troops, with excellent weapon choices

A good choice for heavy

the only concern ihave is that your troops are out in the open and your anti-tank is limited untill your oblid's arrive

IMHO, you should keep the wings off the Sorcerers, but put them on bikes. If you've got problems with the Princes getting shot up, then you'll probably have problems with the Sorcerers getting shot as well. The increased toughness will be nice.

I think that the wings are a good move on the sorcerors, as you can hide them in a squad and then when the moment if right have them fly off and harrass and destroy the enemy, tacticly they are great!

Indeed, they are. However, I'd rather have the increased toughness, as they're somewhat frail.

Your army looks like it would fold to an assault, particularly one involving any Power Weapons.

as nurglitch said, the army lacks CC, if an ork army flooded your lines its game over, power klaws and loads of attacks = dead chaos.

Well, the Plague Marines can usually hold off against all but the deadliest of close combat units (bloodletters, tyrants + guard, nobs with claws, etc), and in theory his shooting plus the ability to manipulate his opponent's units using Lash should enable him to do well against dedicated close combat armies. It would still require careful play and choice of targets.
