Also need ideas for a chaos lord with manreaper daemon weapon

You don't need to cost out all the wargear; just totals for the unit.

You need rhinos with demonic possession and havoc launchers.

Power Fists are better than Power Swords as you are already striking at I3; I1 isn't much different.

Lord
MoN
Daemon Weapon
Bike
180 points

then take a unit of 5 bikes with an Icon of Nurgle, 2 meltas, asp-champ, powerfist 265 points: T4(6) is awesome

Looks like a solid start. I would look into Rhinos for the PMs, increase the squad size to 10 each, and change out the power swords to power fists. As far as the Lord with a Manreaper, it's hard to beat Typhus.

Hope this helps.

After looking at the Forgeworld deathguard terminator upgrade i might grab a unit of terminators and a terminator lord

Oh and about the bikes i trying to make a foot slodging army aimed at massed wave assaults supported by deep striking terminators ans so on..

Prince is ok.

Plague marines: there is utterly no point to the power weapon IMO. Go with fist or don't go with champions. Weapon Loadouts are ok, while a rhino is suggested for expansion.

Lesser Daemons: go with 7, 10, 14, 20, or don't go with them at all IMO.

So definetly a power fist...

NOTE!

Posting TOTAL points costs is OK, posting INDIVIDUAL points costs is NOT OK...

[Edited them out of your original post]

Thanks!

Ok

I would drop nurgle's rot unless you plan on facing a lot of horde armies. S3 hits in a 6" circle is not that great compared to say...warptime or winds of chaos. If you chose it just to fit with the nurgle theme that's fine.

You also took zero heavy support. I think this is a major mistake. If you do decide on some I would take a squad of 5 havocs (4x autocannons , 1x regular marine, 155pts). They give you 8 str7 shots at long range to pop transports/etc while your rhinos move up the board.

I think warptime is a much better psychic power for a nurgle DP than nurgles rot. IMO.

Yeah warptime is the best chaos power
