So I was building a list around the idea of a zombie horde, ala Left 4 Dead, and decided to use Mutilators as "Tanks." This lead me to wondering how I could possibly make Mutilators in anyway viable, which got me thinking about Abaddon. My line of thought has always been that Abaddon is a melee beast but Chaos Termies could never really back him up properly. So I came up with this terribly pricey death star idea:

HQ:
Abaddon

Warpsmith
-Mark of Khorne
-Axe of Blind Fury

Elites:
3x Mutilators
-Mark of Khorne

Heavy:
Land Raider

In the end this unit cost 830 points and I know if is not very competitive but I am looking for ideas on how to improve on this basic idea. I mean on a charge out of this land raider you have 7 + d6 S6 AP 2, 7 + d6 S5 AP2 or 7 S8 AP3, and then 15 variable strength and AP attacks. At max that could be 41 AP2 attacks thrown around.

Replace warpsmith with Chaos Lord. I know that 2+ sounds good and those arms but generic lord shoud be better and cheaper. Or consider Kharn fo the lulz

Well I went Warpsmith because of the +2 attacks from the tendrils PLUS on the off chance someone immobilizes the LR he can pop out and fix it. That and the ability to mess up cover saves and curse vehicles is really nice.

U need suggestion on troops.

Use regular csm over chosen. Chosen can hide a pf not on champ, take up to 5 flamers, take 1 hvy wpn in a 5 man squad, have 1 more attack. CSM still beter.

Or just take blobs of cultists.

I know that I need troops, this is just the bare outline of the list. My intended plan was to run 10 man squards with 2x Meltas in Rhinos for troops. Then I could fill the list in as it needed. I am looking for feedback on the actual death star unit and ideas on improving it.
