Smaller cultists in reserve, helbrute keeps the other cultists company, and everything else just does what its best at, ie kill stuff or be tough.

Commets that arent a complete new list with more heldrakes please!

The grenades are useless on the lord since he's always gonna strike last with his powerfist, you'd do better with an axe of b fury.

How are you gonna play this anyway...

The grenades take away my opponents +1 attack if they charge my lord/bikes, and give stealth if shot at within 12in, nothing to do with initiative?

Could take fist/claw, but would need to find 15 points somewhere to add the claw? I plan on him being a bit shooty with the brand.

8" not 12"

My bad.

You don't really have enough bikes. 3 Isn't enough of a meatshield before your Lord is just hanging out with his balls in the wind. I would also note that your Lord with the Burning Brand is going to want to shoot at very different targets than your Melta Gunner.

I would recommend dropping the Vindicator and squeezing in some 4 or so MoN spawn. They are toughness 6, have considerably more albative wounds, and are better in close combat than bikers. That frees up your Bikes to zoom around and hunt tanks and such.

Also I'm not sold on your Culists build. I would stick to 10 dudes with a flamer. The added short range punch and wall of death on overwatch is worth far more than a few extra bodies with auto guns.

If you are keeping the Helbrute back with your culitists, I would look into some longer ranged weapons on him. Granted that is a bit trickier with DV just having the one kit.
