I like it. Double heldrake is tough to deal with. Daemon prince and heldrakes flying around may overwhelm him and goad him into mistakes you can capitalize on. Happy wargaming buddy!

This is actually a really, really good army list, but I would put something a bit better on your Lord? At least give him a BBoS or something :S

Please keep us an update on how it goes

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how it goes

Come to think of it, would you drop the 2 rhinos and the lascan pred for another helldrakes?

Yeah, the two helldrakes alone should take care of the marines. You could make it 3 and it would be even better, but this is a good list to take against DA.

get under 1750 by dropping 8 cultists, or 5 cultist and a pm or two to get some gear on the naked lord

Your list is very strong. Much will depend on what type of Dark Angels you're facing. You'll scorch Greenwing and Ravenwing but Deathwing (especially the knights) will give you trouble by neutering your hell drakes (especially if you splurge on 3). Also don't underestimate his preferred enemy.

I don't know how much flex you have in your actual model inventory, but I think you have a bunch of inefficient units here that could use some clean up.
I would do 7 plague marines per unit, having a full 10 plus rhino is unnecessary. I would give at least one unit plasmaguns and a meltabomb, especially against other MEQ, if not both. This will save on points big time giving you an option to kit that point sink Chaos Lord out with some proper gear. Right now, you're spending 80 points just to take plague marines as troops. Wasted points without gear. The turkeys are straight. I would get another Oblit and separate the units into two units of two Oblits and make sure they all have MON and Vets. The Pred would benefit from AC/LC load out and save some points, IMO. You should give those cultists flamers, otherwise you'll have 130 points sitting around and chilling out. I may even drop them to 20 if they're just soaking wounds for the lord.

I won handedly vs deathwing. Crushed him before my drakes even got on the table
