This army has lots of infantry (mainly because tanks are so damn expensive) and I was wondering what Dakka's thoughts are on it. There's no point value I'm going for and it doesn't need to be a top tier competitive army, this is just what I think is the best I can do with my collection. I have all the special weapons options for nearly all of my units, though only 2 heavy bolters.

I form a loose gunline with the Plasma Gun squads, the Obliterators, the Forgefiend, and the Land Raiders that can put out 14 plasma shots and 6 plasma blast. The Land Raiders focus on enemy armour, but the Soul Blaze from the Gargoyles makes them a little better against infantry. The Berzerkers ride in the Land Raiders to counter attack anything that reaches my line. The Lord goes with the Raptors who, along with the Terminators, Deep Strike in to cause some havoc behind enemy lines. The Chosen are my dedicated tank hunters and the Slaanesh squad is very durable and hard hitting so it usually leaves the group and tries to push a weak spot in the enemy. The Warpsmith and Helbrute rarely get used but they usually just hang back with the group and do their thing

Power Fist on the Berserkers is an awful buy; you are forced to challenge and so in you go with no say and get killed before you strike.

Not sure how many points this is supposed to be (I'm not going to count it), but the list lacks focus. It's a lot of guys walking about doing their own thing, but not a lot of synergy.

Why not buy them rhinos. If you are going to spend 260+ points on a unit you might as well put them in a box. Or when you talk about expensive vehicles do you mean in £££.

6 shooty CSM + Rhino
6 shooty CSM + Rhino
6 shooty CSM + Rhino

6 melee CSM + Rhino
6 melee CSM + Rhino
6 melee CSM + Rhino

put the shooty rhinos first and as they get blown up your guys start shooting while the rhinos at the back keep on trucking into slaughter range. Don't forget to have your CC guys jump out behind their rhinos for a charge the next turn.

You could put missiles on the back rhinos too. Not sure if you can disembark and also fire missiles but if you can then it means they have a purpose on the turn they drop off troops (when they can only move 6 anyway) and a life afterwards.

Disclaimer:Not a tactical genius

Tanks aren't expensive. A Rhino is like 35 points, which is just under three CSM. If you're going foot, then your units should be at least 15 points.

I mean expensive money wise yes, i only have the LR because they were gifts. I want to run a heavy infantry list that doesn't use many vehicles. These units are my options, how can I make them work best?

Large 15 man squads are Better
