Hi there.

I'm new, making my first army and all that jazz. I've been pulling my hair out trying to think of a working World Eaters army, and I think this most recent one that incorporates plague marines is my best so far. And, seeing as how this "Matt Ward" guy got fired, it looks like I'll be able to make a competent pure Khornate army within a couple years, but I'll hold out until then.

Tell me whatcha think, and be as brutal as you wish.

Well, looks quite good. Your PM units do not really need an AC. The Khorne Lord should better have a power weapon in order to benefit from his higher initiative and MoK.

Find a way to get 10 more points and upgrade your lord with a Khornate Daemon Weapon.

Khornate Daemon weapon? A weapon that wounds YOU approximately 1/3 times? IMHO not a good Idea ....
Personally I'd swap the termie lord with Kharn da Betraya! Very killy and pretty cheap... and very khornate!!.
I also think that termies shouldn't be dedicated to CC..you'd better use them as shooty units... so I'd add some combiweapon and get the Mark of tzeentch that makes them a lot more resilient against nasty AP2 weapons... Alternatively drop all the marks and make multiple 3 men units, all with combimelta and reaper... with all these icons you can deepstrike them exactly where you want....

I'd split those termies up into termicide squads, or find a Land Raider for 'em. A big blob of footslogging deepstruck termies are going to be avoided like the plague (successfully). I mean Eldar, Tau, IG, BA Razorback... even other Chaos armies, they can all just stay away from those termies all day and pew pew them to hell in the shooting phase(no Stormshields allowed, heretic!).

In small units /w combimelts + a Chainfist (Maybe a reaper?) they can threaten (with the reaper, especially) enemy armor, and then chase down and beat down the squishies inside.

I initially tried separating the terminators into two squads, but points were tight. Got rid of the plague champions and they're still too tight. Just decided to lower their number and get more upgrades for my other units... I could even get Kharn now if I wanted. Ooooh.
