Hey guys, my FLGS is holding a 1500 pt tournament soon and I whipped up this list on the fly for my CSM.

HQ:

Sorcerer: MOS, Wings, Lash (145)

Elites:

Chosen x5 Meltagun x3 Chaos Glory Icon (130)

Troops:

CSM x10 Lascannon and Rhino (205)

CSM x10 Lascannon and Rhino (205)

Plague Marines x5 Flamer x2 Rhino (160)

Plague Marines x5 Flamer x2 Rhino (160)

Fast Attack:

Raptors:
Aspring Champion: Power Fist (60)
6x Raptors 2x Meltagun (140)

Heavy Support:

Obliterator x1 (75)
Obliterator x1 (75)
Chaos Vindicator, Daemonic Possession: (125)

The goal is to use the Chosen to Infiltrate/Outflank Tank lines while being a front for DSing the oblits/raptors (I play a lot of IG players with tank lines) while having the CSM in rhinos as dedicated tank hunters. In the event that I don't DS, I can still position them well enough to cause a lot of harm. Separating the oblits allows me to target multiple squad should I choose to do so.

The Lash sorcerer will work as a force multiplier for the raptors, either keeping away annoying squads or bringing them in close to get munched on by them, or better yet, blown to smithereens by pie templates from the vindicator.

I like to think that there's a fair amount of "magnet fire" in the army, keeping my more essential troops alive. I think with the amount of melta I'm packing right now in this list (if you include the oblits) most tanks will be leery to get close and with my force being so mobile in rhinos, I shouldn't have too many troubles. My worries are valk/vendetta lists, GK fun and horde armies. Tell me what you think!

Ok, I think a couple of things really, but not much as it's already ok.

Firstly, your chosen need a Rhino, they are unlikely to achieve anything without one, as you can drive up to enemy vehicles and poke the Meltas out of the fire points to take out enemy vehicles.

Secondly, for 10 points more than you are paying for your sorcerer you can get a Daemon Prince. So essentially you are getting a Lashing creature that is much harder to kill that is also monstrous, and so can bust open vehicles and heavily armoured troops much more easily. A bit of a bargain.

I also think that you need to go back to the heart of the lash list a bit more. You seem to have tried to fuse Rhino rush with lash, and as you have called this a Lash list, you need to lean more towards lash. One way in which you can do this is to take a second lash prince, this will make your shooting more effective as you are able to lash more stuff and also makes it harder for your opponent to stop you from lashing things, as there are now 2 things using it.

Finally, your Heavy Support options need more bulking up. I.e. increasing the size of your obliterator squads. You could get the points for this by dropping the raptor squad and the chosen (probably).

I think that fully mech lists are always going to cause Lash a problem, but with the number of Lascannons floating around at BS4, and then the monstrous creatures as well, you still stand a chance.

Hope this Helps!

Here's what I think:

Chosen need Rhino.

Maybe drop the Raptors for ML x4 Havocs (and of course combine blitz). Imo, Raptors aren't all that great, sure you can lash an enemy closer for CC, but why not lash the same unit closer for either 4x frag missles (horde) or 2x PC (MEQ), or just for your Vindi since it has a short range.

Since you say you play agaisnt alot of IG players, (Raptors again) I wouldn't suggest Raptors since they can get tarpitted or just down right killed by power blob.

Lastly, quick question, where does your sorceror go? I would assume with the raptors, you run him with them, but if you take them out, put him with the Plagues. Oh, and get extra armour for your Rhinos that move forward and Havoc Launchers for those that stay back on objectives.
