Just fun or does is have merit? Its a very low body count but theres some T5 2+, 10 av12 and hopefully some invis to help.

So, I personally have not had much luck with a defiler. And I haven't used Huron as an HQ choice.

My strategy so far has been to take:

Chaos Lord
MoN, Chaos Bike, Black Mace, Sigil of corruption,

Plague marine squads in rhinos with either 2x meltas or 2x plasmas. ((dirge casters on the rhinos always work well for me))

2 Predators with Lascannons and the TL lascannon on top.

Squad of chaos spawn with MoN to escort the lord, give him move through cover and a bunch of wounds to soak up. ((This works well if you take a sorc and manage to get endurance also, giving your beasts FNP since they don't have an armor save.))

Heldrake or two if you can squeeze it in. ((with baleflamers of course.))

Possibly an ADL w/ Quad gun, in case you need more than the heldrakes to combat flyers and/or outflankers.

I'd drop the dreads for a Heldrake. I guess you infiltrate the terminators all the time?

Infiltrating Oblits is nice.. but they deepstrike.

Infiltrating CSM units are nice...

I don't really like the hellbrutes, and at 2kpts having so little bodies is kinda scary. The sorcerer is by himself I take it? which is also kind of scary. I would try maybe taking out the hellbrutes and getting some more reliable troops for your buck, or even splitting the termy squad so you have 2 targets as opposed to one big one. just some thoughts, but I like it otherwise.

Sorc has wings so can easily jump between csm, oblit and termie squads. Can even deepstrike with oblits if favourable. Makes more flexibility for use of random psychic powers.

Most of the list is footslogging. I may ds one of the oblit squads. but usually i think its just worth having em walk up behind everything firing and then you get a pf in cc that cant be challenged out.

Generally Huron and termies will infiltrate (as dice allow) and footslog. sorc is deployed in csm mok footslogging behind termies. sorc jumps up to termies/huron T1 hopefully giving invis to the lord/termie/sorc

cultists are in reserve backfield obj holders.

Helbrutes, defiler and oblits- all decent threats in cc adn range. im hoping the termies/huron/invis squad draws fire away from them making up for their mediocre survivability.

This is intended as an aggressive cc orientated footslogg infiltrating list.

If all goes REALLY wrong: i camp an objective at range and stay out of LOS from the high str shooting (vehicles) and low ap (termies). defiler + oblits take pot shots and tries to grab 1st blood. Force opponents to come forward into an assaultable position.
