Maybe an Oblit or two

This is less than 2500 but I'm not really sure what to use the rest of the points for. I'd like to get Abaddon and a Landraider in there but I don't think I'll have the points and only one heavy tank will get destroyed very fast.

A lash DP isn't great when you don't have many ranged template weapons.a warptime prince with IoS would work better and have a second one of these in place of the greater daemon.put a PF on one(or both) the CSM champ for more tank killing goodness or melta bombs. you could have a squad of five raptors armed with meltas for about 120pt and give the plague marines plasma guns as there is a low chance of them getting wounds(3+armour,FNP and a high toughness to boot and thats even if you roll a gets hot with the gun) give your termies a bit more sense of what they're doing one horde and/or one anti-tank(i'll let you decide) I'm pretty meh about the daemons and all of this should fit into the 243pts you have to spare.

I never said anything about a DP. I don't think they last very long in a 2500 point game. The champs are just there to pop into a GD. The termies are there to kill tanks. The heavy flamer is just in case.

O.K. my bad about the sorc but I do think a squad of raptors would do well in this list.a good way to run them is in squads of 5 wth two special weapons,this can do quite a lot of damage as your termicide squads will be quite a distraction to other players so they can run around and pop a few tamks or flame a few squads.The GD you should remember is costing you 130pt with the champ it posess and it only has a 4++ save,every other HQ has a save of 3+/5++ minimum (witch i think is better).The sorc could have another HQ with them seeing as you have 243pt to spend this could be done easily and is enough to buy most of the characters.hope this helps

2.5k is not 1.5k+ 1k more (well it is, but not in the way the game/lists work).

You have a lot of pretty useless troops... If 'ardboyz is, like I think, about rock hard lists, then you are really going to struggle.

My problems with this army are:
Very little ap2
No range at all
Why do you need 8 troop squads
How easy it would be to kill

I would just pop your oblits and then sit back and shoot at everything turn after turn. If I took a combat army I would run forward and eat everything... It just doesn't really have that much punch.

At this level i think the competitive game is about choosing a style of play and spamming your list to fit that style.

Thanks for both the replies. They were very helpful
I'm going to tweak my list and play test to see what works best.
I'll post a refined list when I can.
