Is ther a reason you put biomancy next to the sorcerers equipment.

to help me remember and to answer in case someone asked, which chart I'd be rolling on.

Well, its actually a good idea to field three auto/las Predators since they are rather cheap. Two Helldrakes are almost mandatory in a competitive setting.
In CSM, you cannot do better than taking some Marine squads in Rhino maxing out special weapons.
However, the Sorcerers with biomancy would need a short explanation. I guess you want to make your troops tougher.

How about the exotic pt costs, shouldn't it be 1850 pts?

It's 1863 to stand out for the year that the civil war battle happened. Each table has a river running through it. Check it out, https://www.facebook.com/BattleForStonesRiver?ref=ts&fref=ts

Enfeeble is really, really strong. I thought about taking 1 bio and 1 telep. but the bio has been working out alot better. You really want the enfeeble and making the sorcerers stronger is pretty good too.

I think you would benifit more from telepathy.

Why telepathy?

'cose just one Puppet Master can do game for you, i think...

Invisibility, hallucination, along with the other buff and debuff powers. Bio mancy mainly focuses on either the psyker or just one of your own units. And you don't want yo get your sorcerers that close anyway

It is a good army list, but mark of slanesh and building for close combat on the two 8 man units? They will have to get out of the rhino and wait a turn and probably get shot up pretty bad before they can charge. Other than that I really like the list. 32 marine bodies in rhinos will sure make for a tough scoring element. How do you plan to deal with horde armies?

The pair of drakes will take care of hordes.

drakes plus bolter fire. I am playing a game today and I think I'll try the telepathy powers and see what happens.

played against Crons tonight and got beat pretty badly. He had Zandrek, D-Lord, 4 units of warriors(1 in scythe), unit of deathmarks in scythe, unit of imortals in scythe, doom scythe, 6 wraiths and an ageis line. He intercepted one of my helldrakes on entering and killed it, then I just couldn't get his flyers out of the air fast enough with only 1 chicken. I think I need an ageis line and drop one of the rhinos and a few marines to get it.
thoughts?

updated list.

::quickly copying list in case I play you::

See you Saturday!

see you then Keith!

God I hope I don't play you! lol

Those chickens of death will kill my army. KILL IT!

Obliterators are the strongest choice for antitank, but if you need two units there, I suggest triple laspredator AND obliterators (both 140 each).

Drop the Spell Familiar. Its definitely iffy on an LD 10 guy. 15 points per is high. Spend them points elsewhere, methinks.

You got a nice airforce there with some definite punch. Best part is,the different ways you can use the wings.

Looks solid. You should have a fun day. Win or lose, your opponents are going to know they were in a fight. Just watch out for the Dark Angels. Assault Terminators will give your list a bit of a run for its money.

Hate those damn metal turkey's, quad gun doesn't cut it against those damn things....

Decent list, though I think Plague Marines are a bit overpriced. I'd consider a unit of Nurgle Spawn just to help you tie up opposing combat units. I see this list struggling against massed Wraiths or other fast moving assault lists.

Uh, I don't see any Plague Marines....and I don't think chaos spawn, nurgle or otherwise are going to help against massed wraiths.....

My bad, I thought those overpriced CSMs were plague marines. Drop the slanneshi CSMs.

Spawn help a fair bit vs Wraiths. 3W a piece and T6 for the same price are good for holding them up.
