Hey this is a 1750PT list. Its for mostly friendly games although I'm hoping it doesnt suck too bad. I have a good amount of extra models available to switch stuff out. Tjhe goal of this list is to reach the enemy as fast as possible with big threats.

Chaos Lord - sigil, BBOS, fist, bike, MoN - 180
4 Chaos Spawn MoN - 144
Chaos Terminators 5- Heavy Flamer, 5 Combi plas, Fist x 2 - 206 (all axes)
Chaos Terminators 5-Heavy Flamers, 5 Combi, fist x 2 - 206 (all axes)
7 Plague Marines - 188- melta x2
7 Plague Marines - 168 (I dont take plasma because these guys almost never see combat and objective sit)
7 Plague Marines - 168
Land Raider, Dirge -235
Land Raider , Dirge -235
Heldrake Bale - 170

Is there a more effective way to run double land raider? Maybe typhus with plague marines instead of terminators? Maybe just plague marines in the land raiders?

Alternative list:
HQ
Chaos Lord - sigil, BBOS, fist, bike, MoN - 180

Daemon Prince - 340 (wings/armor/MoN/Mace/ML3) or Belakor 350

Troops
7 Plague Marines - 168 - Rhino
7 Plague Marines - 168 - rhino
5 Plague Marines - 168

Fast Attack
4 Chaos Spawn MoN - 144

heavy support
MoN obliters x 3 - 228
Vindicator - 120
Drake - 170

I'm not a huge fan of land raiders, so expensive. but for friendly games try anything out and see what works.

Looks good!
What combi-weapons do the second set of Termies run with?
Only things I'd change are adding/swapping the PF on your champ; part of the nice thing about Chaos Lords is their initiative and the PF kills that. Thought about adding a LC? And what's your experience with the BBoS on a Lord whose unit really wants to be in CC? Worth the points?

That, and adding special weapons on the Plagues. Yeah they're great for backfield objective sitting, but so are 35 wounds worth of cultists w/stubbers for the same price. PMs, at least in my experience, want to sit closer to midfield where their legendary toughness actually comes into play. My suggestion would be to place their objectives closer to the middle where they can have a bigger say on the outcome of the match. I've won games because of Plague Marines foot-slogging under fire and across the board to charge and contest enemy-held objectives.
Don't underestimate the value of 7-14 bolter rounds and poisoned CCWs (or better, 5 bolters and 2 plasma) vs xenos, or even regular marines. What about something simple like giving them flamers to discourage people getting close enough to contest & charge their objective? And how do you deal with people Deep Striking into their face?

Either way sounds like you've got a solid core. Only potential trouble I foresee is vs mechanized armies; your AT isn't at a comfortable level for 1750pts.

Edit: And to add more threat to your 2 LRs and Spawn, maybe squeeze in a Rhino for the melta plagues? Unless you're running the LRs with one termies, one PMs, and the last termies DSing.

The second set of termies would have combi plas also I think.

The PF on the lord is there for anti tank, anti heavy infantry stuff. The BBOS takes care of anything that isnt 2+.

If i can find the points for it yea plasmas on the plagues is a good idea.

I might take out a LR or find the points to add in belakor.

Nurgle Marked Oblits are really good.

Terminators are over-costed (1 wound makes for sadface)

Well, the enemy will see two Landraiders, a Lord on bike, and 4 Spawn approaching the front ranks (later supported by the Helldrake), while the Plague Marines will lag behind hardly able to give cover fire. Not really a scary prospect if you ask me.

The terminators with combis can actually do a lot of damage and so can the spawn/lord unit. You're right though that im using mostly sub-par non competitive units. I think double land raider can be cool though. The plague marine units are not super useful but i dont know what to replace them with. Maybe ill just include 2 units of marines with rhinos instead.

I think your very first list is interesting.

U are putting squads of pm near the lr and deepstriking the termi right?

I would turn your termi into termicide units of 3 bodies, pf not on champ or none at all, pow axe on 2, heavy flmer and 2 combi meltas. U might be able to get 3 squads of 3 instead of 2 squads of 5.

Try to find 20 pts to give 2nd pm squad in lr a pair of meltaguns.

Since the lr are dedicated transport for the termi, you should expand on points and get more heavy options in such as oblits, havocs, preds, vindi

Where are all your cultists!!!
