Okay so here's what I think my CSM might be evolving into in 6e... tell me what you think:

1315p Iron Warriors
HQ
Daemon Prince /w Mark of Slaanesh, Wings, Lash @155p
Daemon Prince /w Mark of Slaanesh, Wings, Lash @155p

Troops
10x Chaos Space Marines /w 2x Meltagun in Rhino @185p
10x Chaos Space Marines /w 2x Plasmagun in Rhino @195p
10x Chaos Space Marines /w 2x Plasmagun in Rhino @195p

Heavy Support
3x Obliterators @225p
1x Vindicator /w Daemonic Possession @145p

685p Lost and the Damned (IG)
HQ
Lord Commissar @70p

Fast Attack
Vendetta Gunship /w 3x TL Lascanons, 2x Heavy Bolter Sponsons @140p

Troops
9x Demolition Veterans /w 3x Flamers +1x Sergeant @115p

Heavy Support
Leman Russ Battle Tank Squadron /w 2x LRBT Demolishers /w Hull Mounted Lascannons @360p

Very solid list.

Don't know how "fluffy" it is to have 2 Daemon Princes of Slaanesh leading an Iron Warriors warband but what the hell its not like that matters anymore with the "Allies" chart lol

I was going to comment about the princes also. But if he cared about fluff then they wouldn't be there in the first place

Yeah this is a tournament/competetive list. I'm in the process of converting up big base heroic forge masters for my Iron Warriors Daemon Princes. Mark of Slaanesh/Lash are game mechanics. The book provides zero assistance in making an Iron Warriors army competetive, so you have to do what you have to do.

After a test game I've decided that IOCG is extremely important to the survivability of my marines, and helpful for my obliterates deep striking IN FRAM SPESS. I've mixed up the special weapons a bit to increase versatility (and free up some points) and sadly I've lost the Heavy Bolters on my Vendetta, but the result is IOCG for all my CSM's.

Here's what I'm talking about:

1325p Iron Warriors

What's really great about this list, is I just delete a Daemonprince and poof, it's 1850!

Well after a few games.... This list is awesome! The only thing I've changed about it is to switch to back to all meltaguns in the CSM squads. People aren't prepared to deal with AV14 on the LRBT's, lots of light armor hangover from 5e, and psycannons and auto cannons don't cut it against my heavy armor. The vendetta is fun, and somehow draws more fire than the LRBT's, which is great. Once models allow, I may include an infantry blob, because adding that swarm as well would really add versatility to the force. Anyway, the best part has been the 6e change to blasts doing full damage across the entire template, not just the center hole.
