Can a Rhino take two combi bolters and a combi-plas/melts/flamer ?

I like the list... It very much fits the theme of infantry heavy Plague Marines marching to eternal war. Here are some suggestions:

Drop MoN on the Sorcerer so you can roll times on the BRB psychic lores.

Find the points to kit the first Havoc squad with a rhino... It will really help boost the effectiveness of the plasma guns and the champion's power weapon.

Exchange the last squad of Plague Marines for a Heldrake with a bale flamer.

yes it can, and it can also take a havoc launcher for a total of 4 mounted weapons...but thats just according to the fantastic codex rules, there aren't enough mounting points on the model itself. They didn't put that many mounting points because all those weapons would cost 27 points, almost another rhino, and I guess they didn't figure too many people would do that.

On that note, I wouldn't suggest kitting out a rhino so much, seeing as how its going to be killed 1st turn if its fired heavily upon and 2nd if not due to smoke being popped.

I couldn't recommend helbrutes either but if you're in love with the FW models like I am and must take them, take one with a missile launcher and reaper autocannon and keep it in the back.

I like your ML havocs but not your mixed havoc squad. Each squad has a purpose, and you're trying to mix anti-elite with anti-horde.

I'd suggest giving all of your PM squads rhinos because they need to reach the midfield to do their thing: take and give fire and capture points. Also I'd suggest giving them special weapons, 2 plasma guns per squad, preferably.

Also, your chaos lord is kind of expensive without having any actually threat. Equip him out with an artifact or two.

Might I suggest this list?

MoN on the sorcerer for T5 with an average roll on iron arm(if get) thats T6-7. Also he goes with PM squad in rhino. As for the drake don't use or like them at all worst thing they did was put flyers in 40k. ALL havocs stay in cover and shoot the s#@t out of any thing trying to stab me in the a$$

PS my opponent is world eaters short range all pistols (zerkers(9x3) forgefiend hellturkey warp tallons(6) lord(Chain Axe ,AoK,SoC) with other bells and whistles flavor to taste
