So I had an idea for a list that I think would be quite fun, basically oblits are there to shoot the begeezus out of anything that can put alot of hurt on my terminators (vindicators and demolishers I'm looking at you). while this many terminators should do alot of damage by themselves. I have the obligatory lash and then 5 man squads in rhinos to get rid of tanks that try to contest any objectives that they hold

Any suggestions, comments, or criticism?

Well there's obviously no variation, but looking at sheer power I'd say you could do some interesting stuff

I'd replace the Sorcerer with a Daemon Prince with Wings and Mark of Tzeentch with Bolt of Change just to add more power

However I do think this would cause some problems if you went against an IG tank force, unless you got some REALLY luck Deepstrikes lol

You can't have Mark of Tzeentch and Lash of Submission.

I would change around your troop choice a little.

Considering your taking rhino's with every unit, why not try to bolster some more marines in the rhinos. At least take favor of some more marines instead of expensive champion + combi upgrade.

I just always saw CSM as the cheapest, best troop choice for their points. Them and Grey Hunters at least.

I think 9 chainfists is getting a little out of hand. You can't expect to get into melee range THAT much to utilize them all, Maybe give a single member of your term squads a different loadout for the 15 points? Or just using two chainfists per squad and getting more marines.

You're right, that's for the Mark of Slaanesh. My mistake!

I meant Bolt of Change

The reason for the chainfists is just in case some die due to stupid saving I have extra and when I fight a walker I want it to die quickly, 3 should make that happen. Also having that many helps when assaulting fast vehicles. And I used the champ/w combi-melta to get 2 special weapons in the unit, they,re there just to threaten tanks trying to get my objectives. Not meant to actually kill anything, so they're as cheap as possible. Daemon prince would die too quickly unfortunately due to being only monstrous creature.
