Only forseeable problem I can see it having is with a very heavily terminator based army, but I can easily outmaneuver that, and scrape a few kills through weight of fire. Can anyone think of an army that I would have trouble against? Thanks in advance for help and suggestions!

I think you may have problems with Tau.

I think you should have CMS as primary and Necrons as allies. There is some evil flyes spam in this configuration... for example:

Chaos Lord, Khorne mark, juggernaut, axe of blind fury, sigil of corruption

5 chaos space marines, meltagun
5 chaos space marines, meltagun
20 cultists

Heldrake, baleflamer
Heldrake, baleflamer
Heldrake, baleflamer

overlord, weave,warscythe, MSSs, catacomb barge
despair cryptek
voltaic cryptek
voltaic cryptek

5 deathmarks, scythe

5 warriors, scythe
5 warriors, scythe

doomscythe

ADL, comms relay

That one had 3 Heldrakes and 4 scythes, all with a nice comms relay to have them arrive on turn 2. Crypteks for both anti-vehicles and anti-terminators. If you want, you can reduce a little the number of flyers, and instead have a couple of strong CC units:

Sorcerer, mastery level 3, bike, spell familiar, melta bombs, gift of mutation

10 cultists
10 cultists
10 cultists

Heldrake, baleflamer
Heldrake, baleflamer
5 spawns, mark of nurgle


destroyer lord, weave, MSSs

5 deathmarks, scythe

5 warriors, scythe
5 warriors, scythe

6 wraiths, 3 coils

doomscythe


ADL, comms relay 70

You lose a Heldrake and more importantly the Crypteks, but can do some real damage in HtH combat thanks to two hard, strong and mobile units. The choice is yours, but i would strongly recommend CSMs + Necrons instad of Necrons + CSMs

If chaos lord with MoS is not your primary detachment you can not unlock noise marines as troops.

I have seen someone else use csm allies to provide HtH dominance.

CSM allies
DP of Tz, wings, pow armor, black mace-265

Cultist+10-90

Heldrake-170

If you had the extra points,
Termi+7, MoS, IoE, any sort of pw, heavy flamer, chainfist-more than 300pts

Or get a defiler or maulerfiend for heavy slot. Recommend mauler since it is cheaper.

Cron wraiths maybe much better than anything I suggested.
