Hi guys. Give me some insight on this list of mine. Playing a large game. 2500 pts and above.

I did not count the points for this. But this is roughly what I am going to bring.

Against Necrons army(not sure what is he bringing, but he relies a lot on wraiths)

4 x 30 cultist squad.
3 x Flamer
MoK

Abaddon The Despoiler
2 x 7 chosen
3 Meltas each
MoS
Icon Of Excess

Ahriman
2 x 9 Thousand Sons

All of them are in Rhino

5 x Predators (Triple Lascannons)

1 x Landraider

10 x Possessed
MoS
Icon Of Excess

10 x Terminators
MoS
Icon Of Excess

1 x Defiler

This list looks like pure bloody murder to your opponent.
The down side is you don't have much to deal with wraiths in CC apart from Abaddon, but he may be held up elsewhere. Ahriman isn't a great character, consider dropping him for a winged daemon prince with the black mace.
You also lack anti air, apart from spamming lascannon shots at them, so it he brings his flyers, you are in for a world of hurt...

Yes I realise that. I plan to lascannon the wraiths to death. 15 shots. That's instant death.
Haven't decided on bringing flyer or not(he does have 1 doom sycthe) that cas, I would bring in my drake with hades autocannon and a squad of havoc will missle launcher and chuck them in cover.

Prince sounds like a good idea. I would consider that. I just love playing with ahriman with him 3 witchfire in 1 turn. Planning to psychic shriek his royal court members to death.

We'll it sounds like it's gonna be an epic battle anyway

Ahriman is solid(HOPE FOR INVISIBILITY, it makes units almost invincible). Tho I think the points spent on Possessed(which is over 600 points!!!) could be better spent. Maybe some Havocs? Helldrake? Maulerfiends?

If you're going for CC, take maulers for HS. Heldrakes are awesome at anti-air with their vecotr strikes, and BBQ and and all infantry that don't have a 2+.

I's also swap out Ahriman for Thypus, since they roughly the same points cost and he is way more of a beast in CC. The added ability to make PM troops and possibly make some of those cultists zombies is just icing on the cake. Now what you need to realize is that you don't have to make your cultists zombies, but having one squad that is is a very nice rock to have in your backfeild.

Have you thought about incorperating Deamons as allies? Something like seekers would be a great addition to this list. They are crazy fast moving and have a large amount of attacks.

Taking deamons also lets you take all those awesome greater deamons, or even a herald. Either way you can finally unlock the divination which is key

Yes I agree that they are expensive. I am hoping to chuck them in the landraider and tear some stuff up behind enenmy line. I want to avoud cc as much as possible. Chaos being a beast in cc, all his lord is kitted with mind shackle scarrab. Which is super annoying. Its my first time fielding possessed though. Just wanna see how does it feel to have that ap3 or +1 attack.

First of all, I don't have all the models that you've just suggested. Too bad for me. :( lol. And I am avoiding cc as much as possible. Because all his lords are kitted with mind shackle scarab. The last time he fought me in cc without MSS, it wasn't a pretty sight. I murdered him. Lol.

Heldrake will be my anti air as I already have 2 squads of thousands with that inferno bolt and 3+/4++ they'd stay around for quite some time I guess. And ahriman with his psychic power. Everything will die in my immense fire power(I hope).
