What do you think about the decimator engine, i love the model and i think its quite a surviveable model.
ive been having thought on my troops choices as well maybe dropping a cultis unit and boosteing the marines to 15 models
what do you think?

Looks like a strong list. Im not sure about a single maulerfiend but i guess as you have multiple threats it might challenge oyur opponents decision making.

I wouldnt drop below 3 troops but i might conscider trying to get some plague marines in there instead of your csm squad- possibly by cutting some points off the cultists.

Did you plan on footslogging the termies with bile or dsing them?

I really just had in mind to Foot slog them along blazing with there guns, fighting in combat. Do you think DS woudl be better? Ive allways had in mind that when you DS you miss out on that turn 1 shooting.

the chaos marines squad is enchanced by bile

Na i think footslogging is safer and 95% of the time a better option. You could enhance the termies for str 5, t5, 2+, 5++ and fearless- i think thatd b pretty beastly... Bile could give the csm squad fearless if he wandered up with those guys then the termies get a counter assault off into the combat biles squad sets up? Or Bile goes with the termies (for a pretty sick but slow deathstar) and you take fearless plague marines - that cc csm squad needs fearless one way or the other imo.
TBH i like the way youve got it as is... I think the termies prolly deserve votlw either way- if you can find the points.

Bile can only enchance a CSM unit and gives them +1 s and fearless. How can i make the terminators s 5? sound like a plan mind

If you're going to use Bile, you should really go for broke with a big CSM squad since he gives them quite a boost and is marginally expensive (and hits like a wet noodle himself). If you're just gonna slog the marines definitely increase their size to 14 (For the fluff nuts) or 20 or something.

Footslogging is the way I find. Rhinos are tooo easy to pop for first blood now. I loved my rhinos =(

I love the Slaanesh Termis. I5 and feel no pain(With banner).

Bile can be fun, I've used him with a squad with the MoK and Khorne banner all with CCW so 4 attacks each on the charge at S6!!! Dirty =D

If your running fabulous bill then go hard with it, squad of 20 with bolt pistols and ccws, votle, power fist and couple of meltaguns...a beast of a unit re-rolling to hit against 6 codices that clocks in at 340...for fluff reasons I keep them unmarked like fabius himself but for purely competitive play give them mark of khorne and lose friends

Termies s5 t5 with MoN

Changed about the list
How this look?
the only thing i think is a bit rubish is the cultists but there needed for legal reasons.
I could put a unit of CSM in there instead but id have to drop a few bikes.

I don't mean to sound like a noob but WTF is a Chaos Decimator Daemon Engine?

You are looking a little troop weak now but your termis should last a long time now(If they don't run away, Non fearless termis WTF?) and your CSM unit should mess up most things they charge.

Voila!

Loving the decimator. But I'd keep one Siege claw/heavy flamer and go for a single butcher cannon!

I think ill probably use this list for fun games agaisnt friends
forr tournement ill probably drop the Decimator and take a cheaper forge fiend exta ectoplamic gun and with the few points left change the cultis up for a unit of chaos marines.
