So I think this list is strong, but would like any and all advise from all you wise dakites! So please let me hear what you think of it.

Slaan DP

Slaan Scorc

7 Noise Marines w/ Sonic Blasters + AC w/ PW, Doom Siren, Sonic Blaster in Rhino

6 Plague Marines, 2 w/ Plama Guns + AC w/ PF in Rhino

7 Zerkers + AC w/ PF in Rhino

9 CSM, 2 w/ Melta Guns (or Flamers idk yet), IoS + AC w/ PW in Rhino

3 Oblits

Defi w/ Reaper, extra DCCW

Pred w/ Autocannon + Lascannon sponsons


Total is about 1499 i think. Just tell me what you think is missing, and please give me some direction, as far as if you think I need to change something what I should take instead. Thanks all!!!

what Powers/gear do the DP and Sorcerer have?

Like what Kommissar Kel said, what do you have in mind for powers?

NMs-Seems ok.
PM's are ok.
Zerkers are ok.
CSM are decent.

Hvy Support: I suggest pairing something there.
Though it's a nice mix.

D.P's are better than sorcerers so I'd take two for dual threat. I presume you're taking lash?

If you're wanting a serious all comers list then plague marines are considered the best troops with meltaguns or plasma guns with a power fist and rhino.

I would take 2 defilers or 2 predators for dual threat.

I think that zerkers belong in LRs, and plain CSM are a bad choice of troops compared to any other troop choice in our codex. Since you want your CSM to have mark of slannesh, get some more NM because they have that built into them and get additional things (sonic weaponary). I repeat that to all the nurgle players which field CSM with MoN, whats wrong with being fearless and having FNP for another 3 points per model? I also second the idea of pairing something in the Heavies, Defiler would be the best option IMO, instead of the predator because single defilers get targetted and gunned down preety quickly. Otherwise, I like it!

Yeah both HQ have Lash.

@Condai:

I think that zerkers belong in LRs

They are fine in Rhinos, esp. at 1500, a LR is simply too expensive for 1500 IMO even with our discounted price.

plain CSM are a bad choice of troops compared to any other troop choice in our codex.

I know I'm gonna get flak for this...but what is your rationale...my kneejerk reaction was to say "WRONG".
CSM are the work-horse, they are the economical choice, the jacks of all trades their balance and ability to adapt to battlefield conditions and cheapness pull them ahead of the pack in front of plague marines (sadly I wish plague marines were better economically), then you have 'the rest'.

CSM with ICON of Slaanesh are still more economical than noise marines.
You pay essentially 2 points per model essentially for Fearless which is a double edged sword...and sonic weaponry only serve to jack up the points for just regular MEQs.

IoN I can agree with though.

Regular csm rock. Inexpensive, very effective, and be kitted out to fit a lot of different themes and purposes. I measure all other choices in our codex by the regular csm (ie how many csm can I get for <insert unit I'm considering&gt
