I have been pondering this list for a while and after getting 10 more terminators from several white dwarfs and Black reach. I have the terminators to run this list. Anyway,

HQ 280
Demon Prince, Wings, Mok

Troops 490

This adds up to 1760. Which makes it very easy to drop down to 1750, and some wiggle room to go up to 1850. The plan is to rush the raiders forward, Hide the demon princes behind the raiders and when reserves come in, drop in tons of plasma to melt the enemy. I am open to any suggestions you guys have.

serious lack of troops, how do you plan on playing objective games?
ranged anti tank weps are just the LR's?
and DP's and PF's for close range anti tank?

i would concider a little more anti tank.

Fun as heck? Yes! Competitive? Probably not due to reasons as cited by JD21290. If they trash your LR, you will have a hard time getting anywhere near those tanks with the termies.

MoK is the worst thing to put on a DP. give him warp time and call it 'The Fury of Khorne' or some such thing. heavy flamers would be nice on the termies. does look fun to play, but it wont win much.

I suggest you drop the DPs in favor of Kharn. Then add some more Zerkers. You also might want to drop one of those termie squads or combine two of them. A heavy flamer would do them a lot better if you plan on DSing them instead of that combi plasma.

drop some termies and get more zerkers

I find that the heavy flamer goes quite well WITH the combi-plasmas. It's only 5pts, and can deal quite a bit of pain to light infantry, while still getting good kills vs MEQs if you can cover a squad.

My favorite use for a Landraider is to put an assaulty terminator squad or full squad of berserkers in it. Make sure said unit has an Icon. Then use that icon as a homer for your dropping termie squads w/heavy flamer and plasma, as well as a big squad of 20 lesser daemons.

I played around with the points on your list, and came up with the following. While the current CSM dex doesn't make any reference to Khorne's sacred number, 8, I kept most things in multiples of 8 anyway for old-school fluffiness. The daemons wound up two models over just because it hit 1750pts on the dot. You could obviously spend those 26pts other ways. For example, meltabombs on the berserker champ who doesn't have a fist (5), a plasma pistol in one of the squads (15), and maybe upgrading one of those power fists in the terminators to a chain fist (5 more).

Also, the previous posters alluded to mixing gods (like taking non-Khorne princes w/warp time), which is totally valid, but since you posted a mono-Khorne list, this list is staying that way so as to maintain your theme.

This looks pretty interesting. I'd like to go up against this to see how it does. Throwing in some Lesser Daemons would give you a little bit of an edge in the Scoring Unit department, as well as beef you out to 1850 points.

Mannahnin,
I like the list you have come up with and it keeps the exact same there as the one I origianlly posted and seems like it is strong enough to get the job done. I just hope I dont face alot of AV 14. I will give this a shot.

Glad you like it!

If you face a lot of AV14, you always have the option to sit and shoot with the lascannons on your landraiders. I wouldn’t recommend that, though. The army’s supposed to be aggressive, and there’s almost always SOMETHING you can assault. If you’re really worried about AV 14, drop those two extra Lesser Daemon models, and upgrade some of those powerfists on the terminators to Chain Fists. It’s only 5pts more per model. You can also swap those combi-plasmas for combi-meltas at the exact same price.

Remember that the terminators can always choose to NOT use the icons as homers, and DS elsewhere on the table. You have to risk the scatter, but it can be a big help if there’s some big tough tank hiding in a corner.

I will say that the earlier criticism about lack of troops can be a concern, though. I’ve been playing with only three Troops (one of them a squad of lesser daemons) recently, and you really have to discipline yourself to think about the mission every time. Don’t commit the daemons to a target in an objective mission if they won’t be able to get to an objective by the end of the game. Look for stuff to kill that's right near an objective.

If you find the big daemon squad unwieldy, you can also split it in half. I wouldn’t field a squad smaller than 8, but 8 is pretty decent, especially if you have two units.
