Your gonna find that the Skull Champs Plasma pistols arent gonna help much. You should put lash on your prince so you can throw squads together and Pie plate them, maybe consider a second prince or the other option wich is even a bit cheaper. And if you take the summoned Deamons out and some of the less useful upgrades out you could probably find the points for a squad of oblits? Like Here, Melta Bombs are point fillers and you dont need them so much, take he Rhino Away from the Squad of Choseens, they can infiltrate or Out flank, take extra armour off theRhinos that dont have Zerkers in them and the deamons and you should have the points for all the stuff you need to make it really competetive. Hope that was useful!

First, please remove all individual points costs for upgrades/wargear. It is against forum regulations.

As for your list.

DPs are typically ran in pairs. They are far more effective this way. Good load-out though.

Chosen aren't really cut out for h2h. If you've already modeled them change the Mark too Slaanesh.

Drop the plasma pistols on the Zerker Champs. They're never worth the 15 points and they risk you losing a 76 point model.

You're not in dire need of flamers against a horde with two Defiler. Zerkers will probably be your strong arm with the DPs. Min size PM squad with 2x Plasma guns can sit on objectives and be just as useful. Freeing up points for my last point, some much needed ranged support.

You are lacking any real anti-tank. I would add some Obliterators / Havoc (ML or AC).

Hi Drayzero, I play Chaos myself, I'm no way near the best player out there but I've made a few comments. Hope they help.

I guess you have the MoT for the + 1 to the Inv save as you haven't taken a second psychic power. Perhaps the MoN might be better, making it harder for the DP to be wounded?

I would either kit these out with all meltas to make them tank hunters or with a flamer, if you're looking to do damage before an assault. The one hit from the melta is a bit of a waste, if you know, you miss.

As your champion already has a powerfist I think the Meltabombs are redundant. I probably would have a pair of special weapons rather than 1 of 2 different types.

Same as above really.

I think losing the plasma pistols would be a good idea, you want your fists to be in combat so those could be a bad thing.

Fine

I think if you shed the stuff in bold you could probably adjust it a little bit.

Ok i changed it up but with the change it went to 2014pts. Should i just drop the daemons or would anyone really care about going over by 14 pts?


From what I can see, you've taken out the Icon and Personal Icon so you've made the Daemons pointless, as you need an Icon for the Daemons to be summoned on to the board.

Edit: Nope, there you go, you have an Icon of Khorne still there in your Elites.

Still if they die or you are thinking of outflanking with them it's a bit risky.
