Hey dakka,
With this list I am trying to give CSM the shooting punch they need to survive in the current Meta while keeping some Assault/Counter Assault units. Let me know what you think!

CSM
HQ
Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour
Combi Plasma
Lightning Claws
Mark of Slaanesh
Melta Bombs

Elite:
3x Terminators
3x Power Axe
3x Combi Plasma
Land Raider

Troops;
3x Noise Marines Squad (5 Marines Each)
3x Blastmasters (1 per Noise Marine Squad)

Heavy Support
2x Havoc Squads
2x Missles (each squad)
2x Lascannons (each squad)

2x Obliterators

Necron Allies
Destroyer Lord
MSS
Sep Weave

Troops
2x Squads 5x Warriors
Night Scythe (each squad)

Fast Attack
3x Canoptek wraiths
1x Lash

Heavy Support
Annihilation Barge

I can never make necrons work with CSMs as an army list. I think the HQ cost kills it. An annihililation barge and a couple of flyers doesn't really give that much shooting punch when you could have gone to a double FOC and maxed out on cheap havocs or predators.

Terminators in landraider are good. Wraiths with destroyer lord are good. But these are your only assault units and realistically unless you are facing weak combat opponents these would be limited to counter assault roles to stop them being overwhelmed. The wraiths need more than one lash to stop it being snippered out.

One thing that does spring to mind is you have multiple small units and in the purge the alien mission you will be at a distinct disadvantage.
