You can list unit total point costs but not the individual costs of all the upgrades, so I deleted them. Kilkrazy.

I'm guessing you meant to add "Wings" To your daemon prince since his price is 155

I strongly recommend keeping double "assault" type weapons on CSM. And I think obliterators hardly ever get their worth in 1500 point armies.

I really like the Raptor Squad. Definately try to fit Meltaguns on that squad though (Jumpack melta's are the best way to use them)

Why not drop some Obliterators for Preds and streamline the Noise Marine Squad then try to field another squad of 10 Chaos Space Marines.

Overall. I like the Daemon Prince (if he has wings) and I like the raptors(if you get meltaguns). If you're looking for input everything else could do with minor changes.

i tend to play tzeentch & khorne more but i have a mate who is a big slanesh player & he wont stop yapping at how crap niose marnies are so i would try to stick to CSM or try & get some berzerkers

Yes, the Daemon Prince is supposed to have wings, I'll fix that shortly. Noise Marines have performed very well for me in the past, so I think I'll keep 'em in there. Also, I fielded this army recently and the Obliterators more than earned their keep. (I was playing against Tank Spam Guard. So yeah.) I'll update the list with a few changes.

DP would die immediately.

Who cannot blow 4 T5 wounds from 36 inches away?

Well, I got 1st turn and got luck with lash, managed to get a conscript squad into assault range. Also, I passed nearly every invul save I was required to make despite all odds. DP still died turn 2.

thats why you take DP in pairs

Well, it did take out a squad of conscrpits and a Lemen Russ. And his sacrifice allowed the rest of my army to advance unchallenged.

1. Don’t post individual points costs, it’s GW intellectual property.

2. The List:

Prince: just don’t rely on her/him/it.
CSM are ok, but with the lack of meltas, I’d suggest that.
Plague marines: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, get the 2 special weapons, they are the back bone of the chaos army.

Lesser Daemons are ok with respect to a majority of cult units.

Noise Marines: I do not suggest the Blastmaster.

Oblits are ok, but a bit overburdened with anti-transport.
Raptors are ok.

Thank you, Kilkrazy, for insuring that my lawyer's services are, indeed, not needed. I will remember that for the future. Thank you, everyone else for your imput. I've made a few last changes to the list to take the anti-transport burden off of the Oblits.

(The Havoc Launcher is on the Predator because I wasn't quite sure what else to spend the 15 pts on. So now it can help with heavy infantry...?)
