I have a lot of chaos marines, a lot of them. It kills me that they suck. I'm loving the new chapter tactics though so I thought I'd run my counts as army. Hardly going to win any tournaments but has much better field presence than if this was CSMs. The Iron hands represent my nurgle forces and the Black Templars represents my Khorne forces. Let me know what you think.

That is one of the better Iron Hand lists I have seen. Several t5 2+, 6+++ units with regenerating rhinos. Not as sure about the BT Allies

The only problem i can see off the start is no anti air. which may give you problems. if they don't use any flyers where your at you should be golden unless its a MASSIVE horde army.

I'm thinking of trying this list to use my beautiful chosen. Captain goes with honor guard in the land raider, bikers support the honor guard bomb, rhino tac squads combat squad, rest shoot. Let me know what you think.
