I have a a school league comeing up Iin feb so here is my list.

Sorcerer MoT sigil lv 3

5 CSM MoT VotLW plasma

5 CSM MoT VotLW

Havocs autocannon 3 missile launchers MoT VotLW

Everything has MoT and VotLW for fluff reasons. You get bonhs points for fluff. It is my custom Black legion warband. Black legion supplement.

Sounds good for a start.

Are you using the Chaos Space Marine Codex or the Black Legion Codex?
Also how many models are you using in each squad?

I would suggest making the sorcerer mastery level 3. Few other armies can get such cheap level 3 psykers. Use this advantage, Chaos has so few...
When rolling for powers I would go for 1 roll in the Tzeentch table and either 2 Biomance or 2 Telepathy whichever you fancy.

For the Chaos Space Marines I would suggest adding a plasma gun to each squad and taking only one Rhino. Two Rhinos seem like a bit of a waste at 600 points and plasma guns are just always a good idea.

Havocs seem like a good idea. Autocannons are also good against most things. I would however suggest only taking two autocannons and adding either two Lascannons or two Missile Launchers. This will be slightly more reliable against vehicles or Monstrous Creatures and will also add the threat of instant death to T4 Characters.

Adjust the model count in the Chaos Space Marine squads to fit into the point limit.

So that's my two coppers on your list.
Hope you're painting up your models nicely. ;-)

I'd drop MoT on everything except the sorceror. Fluff or not, just not worth it on those units! If you want a mark, Slaanesh or Khorne makes more sense on normal CSM units IMHO. Counter-attack is quite useful for thino deployed squads. And I'd get a flamer for each squad.

Nope. I am taking MoT no matter what.

I will edit my lists with new suggestions
