The first thing anyone is going to tell you is drop the MoS Lord, I understand you have limited models but if that is the case I think you should play an 800 point game instead of 1000 because the stuff you have already spent your money on is decent, so play the smaller game with a nice core army rather than try and play a 1000 point game by slapping a random HQ in to make up the points.

So, drop the lord atleast anyway. - Probably use those standard CSMs as PMs (if your friends/ FLGS would allow this proxy), if you want a smidge of fluff, 2 units of 7 is tough, or you could do 7 and 8.

Other than that, it comes down to what other models do you have? The spawns seem to be going on a rambo mission alone at the moment so if you had any other models which could be switched out for them, there could be some other changes.

I see you do not have access to the new Chaos Codex because your points are /way/ off and things like a rifleman dread (quad ACs) does not exist anymore. I am sorry, but I can not help you till you get the new codex. Your going to have a very hard time playing 40k till you get the books to make use of your figs properly and use the advice given to you.

Man, and I wasted like an hour plus working on this...erased everything because it was pointless. I didn't notice till I started making you a list and just realised that there was no way you could come up with your point totals unless you did not have the new codex.

Ok well I never will get the codex I mean 60 bucks to use a few models I have lying around is kind of crazy, I was just trying to make a small list to have fun with, I play de for real though
