I haven’t played 40k in awhile and am just getting back into it. Here’s my 2000 pt army, so feel free to critique it. It seems like possessed marines are worth their point value in the new codex, so I included them to accompany my Chaos Lord. The chosen infiltrate so I figured they could hide and pop out when needed, also the terms and oblits deep strike so everything I have will be in a tank in the beginning cept for the hiding Chosen.

Chaos Lord (90)
-Daemon Weapon (40)
-MoK (10)

The Khorne Daemon Weapon is the worst one because there is a 30% chance you will roll a 1. That means no attacks and probably hurting yourself. If you want a Khorne Lord, take Lighting Claws, its safer and almost as killy.

7x Chosen (126)
-2 meltaguns, 2 meltabombs (30)
-Asp. Champ. w/ PF (35)

I'd drop the Meltabombs and take either Meltaguns or Flamers instead.

5x Terminators (150)
-1 PF, 2 combi meltas (20)

Try to add more C-Meltas or a Heavy Flamer to this squad.

Retinue- 9 Possessed Space Marines (234)
-Icon of Khorne (30)

Sadly Possessed are considered a "C" unit at best. The single biggest problem with them is there isn't much Possessed can do that Berzerkers can't do while being a Troop unit.

10x Berzerkers (210)
-Skull Champion /w PF (40)

10x Berzerkers (210)
-Skull Champion /w PF (40)
-Chaos Rhino (35)
-Combi Melta (35)

Good units. Since they're going in the Land Raider you can use 10 to maximize the numbers in there but for a Rhino, 8 is usually enough (and its Khorne's favorite number).

Land Raider (220) -contains HQ and possessed

Land Raider (220) -contains berzerker squad

If you have the points, I'd try to put E. Armor or D. Possession on the Raiders. Helps them keep moving.

3x Obliterators (225)

Alot of ranged dakka which is nice. Try to hide them in cover or walk them behind a Land Raider so they can't be targetted.

Its a pretty good army really. The one sticking point is the Possessed and lack of scoring units. Luckily you can fix that pretty easy by dropping the Possessed and getting another squad of Berzerkers or CSMs.

This list sucks! =p

Drop the Possessed and use the Land Raider for the other Berzerker squad. Use the points to take some small-ish CSM squads so you can cover objectives. You need more scoring units.

Other than that your list is fine.

Lord: I don’t personally like him, others like the risk.
Chosen: they really operate best outflanking, otherwise, infiltrating rules are so strict you won’t get too much out of meltas, meltabombs, nor fist.

Termies: really would like all combi weapons.

Possessed: IMO they are best operating without an HQ and in a dedicated rhino…able to benefit from ALL of their Daemonkin powers.
With an IC and in a raider they waste fleet and scouts, 2 very powerful skills.

Zerkers look ok, but at 2000, there should really be more troops, they are the backbone to the list.

Raiders are meh in general.
Oblits look ok.
