So i just came from a big big loss to a mech eldar army, my main problem was probably lack of antitank weapons, but i like to run only one list againts any army, so the idea is to have a well balanced army, so here is my list atm, and before suggesting the lash prince, well.. i really don't like that cheese, mainly because i dont like slaanesh at all haha, anyway, here is my 2k list:

HQ

Daemon Prince w/wings, warptime and MoN.

Chaos Lord w/Termie armor, daemon weapon, personal icon.

Elites

3x Termies w/ 2x combi-meltas, power fist and Reaper Autocannon

Troops

10x CSM w/ champion, PF, IoCG, 2xflames and rhino

10x Plague Marines w/champion, PF, personal icon, combi-weapon 2xplasmas and rhino

8x Berserkers w/champion, PW, melta bombs.

10x Lesser Daemons

Fast

5x raptors w/2xmeltas

Heavy

3xOblies

Land Raider w/HL

I was told by the end of the game that if i spent so much on the plague marines i should make an all shootie army, but i still think they are great to just hold an objective while the zerks and CSM go forth to try to grab the others around.

Perfectly fine. Some people would recommend another DP to pair it up with, but it should be ok.

With term retinue should work just fine for some up-close pounding.

I would probably drop the reaper autocannon, especially if you mean these to pair up with the terminator lord. I would take a combi weapon on all the terminators instead(maybe 2 melta and 1 flamer).

Not bad, but if you're short on anti-tank this is a great place to get more with 2x melta.

fine

Fine, and many tourny players go with 2x plague marines + 1x berzerker squads

10x Lesser Daemons

I'm not a big fan of them, but if you use them to pile around your pms they should help you clean up.

Lord Yayula wrote:

I use raptors all the time and this setup works pretty well. The only difference is I put my sorc/lord HQ with them to give them more quick moving hard-hitting punch.

3xOblies

Not my personal favorite as your only long range support, but most people seem to do fine with them.

If the berzerkers or terminators are going in here that should work fine. Very expensive but also very solid. The only downside is your lack of any other hardened tanks so most of the heavy anti-tank weapons will be firing at this.

-I agree with Halsy: Another DP would be more effective on the board than the CL. DPs are one of the most cost-effective units CSM has to play with.
-Termies are a waste at 3. If you can't get a 5-man squad I wouldn't bother (or a 4-man + your CL going in the Land Raider). The autocannon is definitely a waste of points. Give them all combi-weapons, let the deep strike and die, and hope they take something with them.
-Also agree that your CSM Squad should have meltas over flamers.
-Combi weapon on the PM Champ seems extraneous. The PF is a fine can-opener for that unit.
-Grab another KB unless you're planning on putting the CL with them.
-Not a fan of Lesser Daemons either, but they do make cheap objective campers.
-Raptors are fine as they are.
- I would use 2 Squads of 2 OBlits, rather than 1 Squad of 3. Don't rule out Defilers either.
-Land Raider can be a fine transport for your Lord and KBs, but the Havoc Launcher seems to be a waste of points.
