Thoughts: Señor del Caos jumps in with the invisible Chaos Spawn, who rush the front lines with both Plague Rhinos and the Maulerfiends. Raptors DS as necessary to pop tanks, or run up and distract if tanks aren't as much of an issue. Vindi does what vindis do best. Be'lakor waits for the heldrake to show up before advancing, taking advantage of the distraction. Thinking of either running the Heldrake with Hades cannons (to anger the fanboys, and theoretically be AA), or dropping it altogether to add another unit of Raptors or Spawn.
What do you wise folks have to say about this?

I like it! That said you are running incredily light on troops. you may want to drop one mauler friend for cultists, as bad as they are, to help with a "home" objective. Or have Be'lakor lead Plaguebearers and try to take advantage of a decent warlord chart. The AA drake is tons of fun and I often use one.

I agree, but id drop the vindicator. CSM heavy support needs redundancy. Take two of whatever you're taking for HS.

Originally instead of the Maulerfiends I had another box of plagues with melta, but figured that wasn't enough AT. As for plaguebearers I'm not really into the whole allies thing, though I know I'm hurting my odds.
Ok, so if I drop the vindi (mostly included 'cause it's a new model I haven't fielded yet) that gives me space for a whole 35 mob of cultists. That aren't fearless. Is that even worth it? Or should I bump up to 10 plagues/box, and use what's left for cultists?

That plan adds 4 Plagues total, and a 10-strong cultist mob I'd keep in reserve until hopefully late game when they can run out and grab a backfield objective.

But that puts a serious dent in my offensive capabilities. I'd reconsider playing the Hades drake instead of the flamer at this point.
Thoughts?

Why are you even using black legion? For spineshiver blade and skull of k? You are paying a votlw tax of atleast 45pts

Couple of reasons.
-'Cause I haven't played 'em before, and want to test out the new rules and artefacts first hand.
-'Cause many of my friends play Loyalist Marines, and hatred/+1 LD is useful for 1-2pts/model.

Any thoughts on the contents of the list, Filch?
