The daemon prince, kzerkers and defilers were my favorite units from previous editions.
I tried to transition into 6th ed with the mack daddy abaddon and his chosen squads, but I have failed them. I am unworthy and must retire him until I am ready. So I am going to try and make my old list work. First I am going to repurpose one of my defiler into a ADL by giving it 4 auto cannons and turning it around or convert the battle cannon into a twin linked lascannon. Next I will down grade all my kzerk into csm with MoK. Then I will just put air plane wings on my Iron Warrior DP and give him a mace.

(i have real plague marines but I will not field them or downgrade them)
( I also have noise marine bits but I will not be using nm)

cultist+10, any freeby, (hide in reserve)-90

Helldrake, baleflamer-170

Defiler, lascannon, heavy flamer-215

Oblits x3--210

ADL, quad gun, manned by havocs, 4 lascannons-255

This is over 1500 so I need to know what to cut.
edit: added unit costs

The double demon prince are too expensive. I would like to make a cheap lord that slays terminators or just have one dp.

I am dropping the defiler with a lascannon, oblits,termi, and cultists
I am giving the havocs autocannons instead

Your Iron Warriors DP will still have to be dedicated to a God. Go with Tzeentch and you'll only fail armor saves on a 2 with 1's re-rolling.

Thank u. Any more advise? Should I only use one or two dp? If I had to choose which would I drop?

having 2 isn't a bad thing at all. Gone up against a particularly nasty list that had Khorne and Slaaneshi daemon princes.

3 oblits are expensive, but can work well if you are slogging them upfield. If you were planning on them being more of a sit back and shoot type of unit... just get more havocs. 4 lascannon shots each turn is better than 2 lascannon shots every other turn and havocs are cheaper.

I'm not a huge fan of defilers. AV12 just isn't strong enough to stay up for too long against any heavy weaponry. But, it does pack quite the punch on shooting and in close combat.

Anytime I bring something big and threatening, I try to fit in two. I rarely bring Defilers now, but when I do it's a pair. I have surrounded them in Cultists bubblewrap style behind an ADL for a 3+ cover save. I like to take the Comms relay over the turret options, and the Defilers can do there job of firing off Battle Cannons and charging whatever gets too close.

I do have a pair of defilers but I am turning one into an quad gun/icarus lascannon.

I could drop the oblits. I dont have any more las can, but I do have 1 missile launcher, 2 heavy bolters, n 1 ac ready. I have enough imperial guard ac bits to make 12, but I dont have marine bodies.

Updated list. Ignore the black text.
I am over 40pts.

Would like opinions on how to make it have many scoring models. I would like to have as many units compared to me having previously playing with 5 small units of 5 chosen.

what do you guys think about me repurposing kzerks into csm with MoT? Are there ways to give csm w/ MoT a 4++ invul save ? I dont want to field 1ksons.

Thousdand sons aren't un-useable, they're just very tricky and expensive :-)

As per your query, I think you can give the vet a 4++, but other than that, it's 6++ all the way around. Just pretend they're T4 sisters. *laughs*

10 Thousand sons with an Icon of Flame is 280 pts. You can give the Sorcerer a Power Axe and then he's got 4 S5 AP2 attacks on the charge with a 3+/4++ save and a chance to insta-gib. (3 if he gets charged)
