My local club are running a friendly competition over the next few weeks so im trying to come up with a decent list to take on all comers.
The competion starts tomorrow so il have no chance to play test my list before the real thing so all help/criticism welcome.

Prince- MoS, wings, whip of slaanesh 155

5 Terminators- x1 Powerfist, x1 Chainfist, x2 Combi Melta's 185

10 Chaos marines- Champ/Pfist, x2 Plasma guns, IoCG, Rhino 265

10 Chaos marines- Champ/Pfist, x2 Melta guns, IoCG, Rhino 255

9 Khorne Berzerkers- Champ, Rhino 239

2 obliterators- 150

Defiler- x2 CCW 150

Greater Daemon- 100

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Daemon Princes should always come in pairs, the lash of submission isn't that awesome but it's annoying.

Terminators just take two chain fists for the points.

Rest seems ok, though I'm personally not keen on Defilers as they're a bit rubbish. THey don't know if meant to be in combat or shooting and TBH they don't do neither any good. Vindicators would support your Rhinos much better.

I like it a lot. Very fluffy. Which is good The only thing I can suggest is mixing up the terminators... How about this?

Take the Champ out of the Berserker unit (which nets you 40 points), and get an IOCG and three power fists? That way you have four fists, one chainfist and two combis. IOCG is great with Terminators, since they aren't fearless.

Consider Missile Launcher Havocs instead of your Defiler, also. You won't regret it.

Well the zerker champ is there to summon the greater daemon because otherwise im giving up an expensive champion from the marine squad:/

Havocs are stupid points, Obliterators are much better.

175 gets you an essentially fearless unit with four missile launcher shots, while 225 gives you a fearless unit with three plasma cannon or lascannon shots and a better armour save (which accounts for very little, since anyone half-competent will use plasma or melta against them both). I'd rather save the 50 points and have Havocs.

Get rid of the defiler for another daemon prince

I personally don't like running Greater Daemons as I hate they are generic and cost a champ.

I agree that mech has made lash meh, rhinos are just to cheap. You might just want to skip lash and use the points elsewhere.

I would run a second Prince and maybe run only 3 terminators since they have no IoCG as a termicide unit.
If you can squeeze out the points to get a PF for the Zerkers, you should be set.

It isn't sexy, but should give you a good chance.

I'm here to say Lash decidedly rocks even in the Mech heavy world. Staying 'friendly' means not loading up on oblits (can-openers), so as is, the list is friendly enough and needs no changes.

155 actually for a 5 man unit and they're not fearless. The missile launchers are too expensive - 20 points each? No thanks. Obliterators are far more flexible and worth the points, Havocs are just too expensive with heavy weapons. Now if they had special weapons....
