2 Obliterators (150)

This leaves me 72 points short. I'm thinking maybe I want to drop some points to add two Lightning Claw Lords to the big squads.

A prince without any psychic power is a tragedy.

IMO,the only suitable weapon for a lord is a deamon weapon...claws lord?A sorceror with warptime is apparently better than him.

2 lash sorc only way to go

Change the DP for Kharn put him in a rhino with beserkers get some rhinos get beserker squads 10 or 9
instead of 16 so they can go in rhinos.

You know you can have other csm with a world eaters army

So what is your plan on how your going to handle high str, long range weapons? Lootas, WW scatter laser and such? Your going to have a lot of ground to cover for the guys on foot. I would also look at buying some cheap troops so that they can just be around for grabing objectives and such.

Over all the list looks sound but I would look at upping your body count from 8 to 10 in your basic squads.

kharn is a good idea. two more rhino's, 2 more obliterators are also a good idea, as is more wargear in general. in response to stylez: 2 lashes isn't everything. killing people the conventional way works, and your opponent won't declare your army cheese. one other suggestion: terminators might help. lightning claws aren't a good idea because well, they just aren't effective enough. go for a daemon weapon for just 5 more points (unless he doesn't have terminator armour, but that's a bad idea in itself) also: combiweapons on rhino's can be very useful, at least in what i've found, with the berserkers. a nice little "toaster" to soften them up before you run in with them can go a long way.

Assuming you want pure Khorne.... I would suggest the chaos lord instead of the demon prince. Fits in the unit. Daemon blade can be disgusting but it fails you 1 out of 3 times...

Think about going to 4 units of 8 maybe with rhinos.

Add some chosen with MoK... infiltrate and power weapons so you can flank them into your opponents.

Also some lesser demons, not awesome but they can get you a deep strike and assault where the berzerkers will fall short of your opponent.

I would also look at a small fire supporting CSM squad... 2 out of 3 scenarios you need to hold an objective. Maybe a unit of 8 MoK (for flavor) and a lascannon so it can get rid of nasties like vindicators and ork looted wagons.

Obviously you haven't heard of Khorne and the whole HE DETESTS SORCERY! concept that goes on.

Looking at the list it's a themed Khorne army, specifically World Eaters, it is all numbered 8 and multiples of 8 which is Khornes Number by the looks of things and that adds more flavour. It doesn't have to be as competitive when the flavour is involved. I'd agree with points on dropping them into units of 8 into rhino's as well as a unit of chosen or two with icon of Khorne into a Rhino for support. Don't take Kharn unless you have to resort to a special character to win. IMHO the best players out there don't need a special character to win. Lords with claws would work well, maybe 1 claws and 1 Demon weapon, then whilst one fails 1 in 3 times the other one is dead hard. Maybe with any excess points get a Dreadnought for some anti-tank fire support? That would work nicely and easily thjemed with a Fist and Heavy Flamer in the mix as well.

Otherwise congratulations on sticking to the theme and flavour of Khorne, at least some people around here aren't all about the powergaming to the exclusion of ignoring the theme, background and character of an individual army, I mean WTF is up with this comment in this thread:

Auretious Taak.

P.S. A Bloodthirster would be fun and characterful, so would some summoned lesser khornate demons.

P.P.S. Perhaps try another road and take 2 DP's with wings as well as the summoned greater demon for a surprise monstrous creature force able to handle armour surprisingly fast as well as march around in a possy picking on small things together.

I'm sure the reason for the 16 man squads is to take advantage of troops being scoring to the last man. 16 fearless marines are no slouch to remove from the board.
