This warband were once Word Bearers, but strayed to all-out Slaanesh worship along the way and split off from Lorgar's legion. Thus the Dark Apostle and MoS on all units that are eligible.

HQ:

Dark Apostle: MoS, Plasma Pistol.

Troops:

9 Chaos Marines: MoS, CCW, Melta Gun, Combi-Melta, Lightning Claw, Icon of Excess Rhino

Where the Apostle will be. Not sure how well this will work. Oh, with CCW, MoS and Hatred they should reap a tally in assault, with meltas and the plasma gun to soften things up, but... I don't know honestly. Lots of trimming needed here, one could certainly consider dropping both the icon and the universally reviled plasma pistol. Just added it for more close-range punch.

10 CSM: MoS, 2 Plasma Guns, Rhino.

MoS is probably kinda redundant here, but will stay.

6 CSM: MoS, Autocannon.

Holy number! Heavy weapons are generally inadvisable with CSM, but I figure the Autocannon will do fine. This is not a mobile unit and will seek objectives and cover in the backfield, where that lone, long-range gun could help with matters upfield.

Heavy Support:

Predator w Lascannon sponsons.

Fast Attack:

Heldrake

1000 points.


I'm dead-set on having all things MoS and the Dark Apostle.

Try lumping the marines into large 20 men csm squad with IoE. Give them assault weapons and bolters so its 20 bolter shots 24", 40 boltershots 12" rapid fire or 20 bolt pistol shots and 3x20 atk on the charge (ccw+bp bonus).

It is a toss up. Shot 40 in rapid fire mode and take advantage of overwatch and fnp, I5. Or you shot 20 pistols n try to charge for 60 attacks at i5 and you still get fnp.

Also you need to have 10 csm to even unlock heavy weapon for thw squad so you cant have 6 csm and ac. U could get 6 noise marine n a blastmaster.

Could take both bolter and bolt pistol possibly? 38 points extra though...

Your 6 man CSM squad is illegal. You can only take Heavy Weapons in a 10 man squad, unlike Loyalist Marines. I would consider a 6 man squad of Noise Marines with a Blastmaster.
