So I was thinking, new berzerker list.
HQ
Demon Prince

Troops
3 x 12 khorne berzerkers, aspiring champion, power weapon
Rhino or land raider - what do you suggest?

Was thinking perhaps but kharn the betrayer in one of the squads.

Elites
2 x 6 chaos termies - not sure what to kit them out with, what do you suggest?

Heavy support
3 x obliterator
Defiler
Vindicator/land raider

Im a new chaos marine player, so there's stuff im missing obv.
Cheers

Your berzerker squads should be between 8-10 so they can fit inside a transport for starters. How many points is your list going to be, since this one looks pretty large. A points limit will help people give you constructive criticism.

Also, what do you want to accomplish with your list? How will you play it? These things also make it easier for people to give you advice/criticism.

Right, my list is as follows
HQ
Chaos lord
Demon weapon
Mark of khorne
Combi melta

Troops
3 x 10 zerkers, champion, power weapon, rhino

Elites
10 possessed, champion, mark of khorne

Heavy
Land raider (to transport the possessed)

1500

Basically, rush into their lines, deploy, kick the crap out of them.

the DW Lord is best complimented with Terminator armor, that way you'll still have an invuln save if you roll a 1 o nthe 2d6 for attacks. And a DW Termie Lord is best complimented with a 'retinue' of Dual-LC Terminators (or combi-meltas)

And I've been told, and have read that possessed aren't so great. There abilities are way too random. Drop them and try and go for 4 Dual-LC Termies, and if you can make them all champions and give them IoK, that's even better (3 + 1 base attacks, plus charge) a dual lc termie champ squad of 4 runs at about 200, 230 with the Icon Khorne.

And if you do that, run the DW Termie Lord in the LR with the DLC termie champs. and if you can, get Daemonic Possession for the LR. You will be extremely PO'd if your LR gets immobolised, especially before your first turn. if you need to make room for that, drop 2 zerks from each squad. 8 is the magic number.
