Ok i've played since the release one game using the new rules and i've been quite happy with the results.
Now i've planned a new list, and though the new rules can make pretty nasty lists, i didn't want to be cheesy so
i made a semi competitive semi fluffy list. C&C appreciated.

HQ: Warlord ----> Chaos lord + sigil + votlw + hand of darkness + skull of ken'ghar

Chaos lord + mon + sigil + p.axe + eye of night + blight grenades + votlw

Troops: Chosen x5 + 5 plasmaguns + votlw + rhino

Chosen x5 + 5 meltaguns + votlw + rhino

Plague marines x 6 + 2 plasma guns + meltabombs + voltw + rhino

Plague marines x 7 + 2 meltaguns + power fist + votlw + rhino

Fast attack: Heldrake + baleflamer

Heavy support: Obliterators x3 + votlw + mon

Havocs x5 + 4 meltaguns + votlw + rhino

A total of 1850. Think it will do pretty well. Please do share your thoughts.
(I managed on my first game using eye of night to destroy one shot 2 leman russes ).

Not too sure how you deploy your obliterators but have you tried deploying them as separate units since you have the HS slots open anyways? Makes them have to pick and choose only one to fire at rather than lighting up all 3, but also increases your chance of mishapping when deep striking

My bad, just saw the havocs so that wouldn't work unless it was 2 and 1 in squads

I done screwed up

I would normally recommend ac havocs, but it looks like you are trying for a rhino rush.

Yes and the problem is that with 6th edition rules and hull points i don't quite know if it will be a mess. Rhinos are easy targets and with this list on turn one i have 5 targets on table which is pretty low number on 1850 pts games.
Maybe the two lords are too much too. Probably one with mon is enough to make PM troops and that's it.
