Ok so I'm just getting back into playing after like 14 years lol. So what I'd like is some criticism of my list and what to go after next? My goal of this army is to be a mostly footslogger non daemon army. I know chaos without daemons isn't ideal but whatever.

Hq
Kharn
Troops
1 squad 10csm (to be converted to plague marines)
1squad 10csm with heavy weapons (2xlas cannon, 2x missile launcher,)
17 khorne berzerkers
Elite
3 terminators(H.Flamer, lclaw, power fist)
Fast attack
8 raptors (2 meltas, 1 dual LC)
Dedicated transports
rhino.

My next 3 purchases are probably gonna be an
hq(DP, term lord, or something else)
Another rhino
And some obliteraters.
After playing my first game this past weekend I realize I need more protection for my berzerkers, and more tank busting. Any help or advice is much appreciated.

DP is a must! Obliterators are good if you field 4 or more. Defiler is a devastating Anti personal weapon when used with Lash of Submission. Put Plasma Guns on your Plagues and Meltas on your regular CSMs. Put a Chainfist and 3 combi meltas on your termies and use them as a termicide squad. Get lots of Rhinos and put combi meltas on those too.

Outside the DarkTower, amongst the roses.

I'd wait for any major purchases, scuttle butt says new dex is around the corner.

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

I'm not purchasing more units for my CSM until further news on the Chaos Legion codex either at the moment.

You cant really go wrong with another Rhino though.

Yah my goal was just to get a few more things then finish painting and assembling. while I wait for a new dex/6th edition. I'm pretty sure right now I have it narrowed to another rhino, and a few obliteraters. And then I'll be done for a while minus bits/magnets and crap for a few termies. I figure most of the basic cult troops should be safe for an update.

Rhinos. Who knows, obliterators may be nerfed. Rhinos, however, never go out of style.

6th Ed Eldar - 4/2/5

"The warhost on the hill was one of the most bizzare sights I had ever seen on a battlefield... Xenos, daemons and humans collected together in units together, gripping dice and paintbrushes; Orks, humans and creatures for which I had no name, clad in ancient armour and clothing; steam-powered walkers with antique-armoured assistants; and many bizarre war-machines, many of which had no purpose that I understood.
An Eldar, bizarrely dressed in a customised suit of power armour and standing on a shield borne by two servants, was carried forth out of the crowd. Raising his Daemon weapon, he shouted three abrupt words:
"Thin! YOUR! PAINTS!"
With that, every member of the warhost screamed out their own battlecry; only a few that I heard were "WOLVES FOR THE WOLF GOD, WOLVES FOR THE WOLF THRONE!", "METAL BAWKSES!", and, strangest of all, "CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!". However, after a few seconds, all these shouts were replaced with a single, simultaneous battlecry:
"DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA! 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO!" Upon shouting this, the entire army charged down the hill, guns blazing." - extract from the report of Colonel Montague, Cadian 12th, on the "Gugalle Incident".

yeah, it's best to wait.

However, from personal experience, chaos terminators don't hold up that well...

I keep hearing that about csm termies. Which makes me sad cause I love terminators. I'll probably continue to employ a termicide unit of 3 though. And now I'm nervous to get obliteraters haha. Maybe just 2 more rhinos and a sorcerer.

My 1k list from this weekend was as follows

Kharn
10 berzerkers (champ with fist, melta bombs)
10csm (plas, H.Bolter, champ with PF, and melta bombs)
6raptors(2 melta, champ with dual LC and melta bombs)
3 terms(h.flamer/LC, power fist, 2combimelta, 3 champs)

I beat 1k worth of guard this weekend in annihilation 6-3. His leman Russ whatever variant completely routed me first turn till I got my raptors to it. Then I took over after killing his tank.
