I would recommend MoN Oblits over havocs. Much more survivability and versatility if you can find the points.

the reason i went for havocs over oblits is that in the past ive seen oblits become fire magnets and a turn or two of shooting bring them down before they can footslog close enough to make use of the various weapons. deep striking them would only leave them exposed for said shooting. havocs would initially seem less threatening allowing them to strip some hull points and wounds

Fair enough. I've always liked Nurgle Bikers and wanted to make an army of them not too long ago. T6 bikes....mmmmmmmmm...

my one worry is that even though the lord will be able to handle himself in combat, how will the rest of the squad hold up? t6 is fine, but with just normal CCW and ap4 on the lords mace, they may be stuck there for some time against larger units.

What if i dropped the predator for either a second lord or sorcerer on bike with the burning brand to add a bit of punch to the bikes charge?

That's not a bad idea, but you lose a strong anti-tank unit to boost your bikes. I guess as long as they have a way to drop armor it would work out alright.

heres an amended list ive been toying with, meens the bikers wont be a combat squad, rather a troll/nuisance sqaud picking off men as and when
