I'm kicking this around as an "all comers" Chaos league list:

Demon Prince, Power Armor, Wings, Mark of Slanesh


Demon Prince, Power Armor, Wings, Mark of Slanesh


Chaos Marines x10, BP&CCW, Bolter x7, Flamer x2, Mark of Slanesh
Asp. Champ, P. Sword, Melta Bombs
Rhino

Havocs x10, Bolter x5, Plasma Gun x4

Rhino


This idea is that the Chaos Marines drive up. Assaulty armies tend to have 5+ saves or worst (Orks, 'Nids, some Eldar). So I unload with Flamers & rapid-fire Bolters. Shooty armies I close and assault with BP&CCW. The Demon Princes take care of tanks and such. The Havocs stalk things like Hive Tyrants & Wraithlords and take then down with rapid-fire AP2.

Thoughts? I'm wondering if 50 MEQs is enough in 1750 points.

I like the demon princes a lot. But monstrous flyers are, in general, a no brainers.

I really like the chaos marine squads with rhino, CC weapon and mark of slanesh. I'm just not sure they should *all* have flamers. One squad should have meltas. Init 5 is really huge in a world of many meq lists.

50 MEQ is quite a bit for 1750, I think. In some sense, it may almost be too many. At 1750, I'd definitely make room for a helldrake. The helldrake will hoover up things like grey hunters and grey knights; things that might bloody your nose in CC. But maybe the right thing to do is trade one HQ for a helldrake. Maybe not, since you are relying on the HQs to take out things like vindicators that will cause your advance serious problems.

I would experiment around with having a helldrake, though.

My chaos marine list looks quite a bit like that. With a couple of exceptions. I use a lord on jump pack with axe of gotta kill 'em all plus 12 raptors with meltas.

My squads also have a flamer/melta or plasma/heavy bolter. The havocs in my list do exactly what you're doing but with four meltas a combi melta and a fist. Its usually the scariest thing on the table. My friends swarmlord dies to it on a regular basis.

I dont think you should have the deamon princes they are alot of pionts and you have to buy the armor they are good against some models but can get taken out easlily.
Heldrake are good to you just have use them right.
