I have been looking to add Demon allies to my CSM, and it's taken some re-tooling. I prefer plague marines but ignore cover is the only thing i can figure out against jink or invisibility shenanigans. I can't get my last few things down, so here's what I have for a proposed primary detachment:

DP- Wings, Armor, Black Mace, ML 3 (2 rolls on bio for iron arm)
Lord- MoS, Bike, Sigil, Claw and Fist
4 Bikes- 2 meltas, MoS, Icon

5 Noise Marines - Blastmaster, 3 Sonic Blasters
10 Noise Marines - Doom Siren, 5 Sonic Blasters, 4 CCW, Power Sword, Icon of Excess
Rhino - Dirge Caster

Heldrake

5 Havocs - 4 Autocannons

Allied Detachment:
Great Unclean One- Lv. 3, Exaulted Reward, Greater Reward (Portalglyph, Balesword most likely)
15 Plague Bearers.

Total: 1781

I'm trying to use the GUO as a gigantic fire magnet right in your face piece, drop a portalglyph, and use the Plague Bearers or the 5 man NM squad to camp home point. The 10 man squad is soley to (grab relic/take central objective/assault critical objective). I know Rhino's in groups of 1 tend to die, but I'm hoping by having a Lord and a greater Demon in your deployment Zone turn 2 with a DP flying around doombolting and smiting and macing things, you have to prioritize targets while my better-than-yours troops go take your cookies.

Oh, and I got a Heldrake.

So I have 69 points left, I'm hoping 3 troops + portalglyph is enough troops in a "kill your stuff" list, help me figure out how to maximize my last few points.

Ideas include dropping havocs and getting a
-predator w/ trip las.
- few oblits

or shaving one biker and the dirge caster and 5 Plauges and getting almost ~250 pts free. That would get me another DP from the demons, 2 tanks from Chaos, or a combination of Fleshhounds and Spawn that I feel would really create beta strike problems.

I just moved and I'm pretty unfamiliar with my local meta, so that doesn't help.

Thoughts?

More troops.

Iron arm? And what discipline is your DP?
