Hey guys I hope I can get your opinions on this CSM Daemons list I put together, I'm looking for a fun but competitive list of CSM with an allied detachment of Daemons (preferably nurgle and psyker)

Any tips would be appreciated


CSM

Chaos Lord + MoK + AoBF + Ichor + BB 145

X9 khrone zerks 181

Plague Marines x 7 + 2 pg 198

Land Raider + Dozer blades 235

Rhino + Dozer Blades 40

Oblits + MoN x3 228

Heldrake 170

Daemons

Herald of Nurgle + Fecundity + Psyker lvl 2 + greater reward 140

Herald of Nurgle + Fecundity + Psyker lvl 2 + greater reward 140

10 Plague Bearers + Instrument 100

10 Plague Bearers + Instrument 100

Soul Grinder + Phlegm + Daemon of Nurgle 180

Total: 1857


Questions: what should I do with the last 143 points

And are these daemon troops deadly enough for their point cost

Thanks in advance

Hello, a couple problems with this list, at least in a strictly legal per the main rules sense.

A Chaos Lord with the Mark of Nurgle can not purchase the Axe of Blind Fury, only Khorne Lords. Or that could've been a typo?
An Axe Lord with 9 Berzerkers in a Land Raider is usually pretty good. I like sticking an unMarked sorcerer in there to get some Invisibility maybe or Endurance potential.

Now you would need another Troops choice if you did either Marked Lord, as the Nurgle will not make Berzerkers Troops, and a Khorne Lord will not make Plague Marines Troops. 50 points on Cultists and you're good, but then Plague Marines become kinda not worth it.

Heldrake and Nurgle Oblits are always a good idea for CSMs!

For your Allied Daemons, you can only take a single Herald as the HQ...the 4-in-1 slot is only for a Primary Detachment. Soul Grinder is very good.

Plaguebearers are actually not great at doing much of anything except poisoning a MC, maybe glancing a vehicle if they happen to be close enough. But you need Troops, so if you're going Nurgley, that's about it. But Daemon Troops do mean the CSMs don't need as many. If you want a Herald, take 1 big squad of the Plaguebearers to max the FNP goodness. The Herald could stand behind the Quad Gun with BS5 and Grimoire to juice up the Heldrake too, or Oblits if needed.

If you want the full Plague army, drop the Land Raider and Berzerkers. Then give the Nurgle Lord a Bike and Sigil, and then either Black Mace/combi-melta on the bike, OR Lightning Claw/Powerfist/Burning Brand on the bike.

Then get some Nurgle Spawn or Nurgle Bikers (Spawn are probably better) in there. You should have enough points for that, and hopefully another Plague Marine unit and Rhino.

Good Luck!

Plaguebearers are awesome! They (like all nurgle daemons) get a +2 to their cover save due to shrouded and if you shoot at them at close range they get yet another +1 to their cover save because of their defensive grenades (stealth). Simply going to ground in open terrain will allready get you a 4+ cover save. Simply standing in 4+ cover will get you a 2+ and going to ground in area terrain will also get you a 2+.

Add a herald that gives FNP and you have 1 tough cookie holding objectives.

Also dont forget that in closecombat you can reroll your failed wounds against enemies with toughness 4 or lower due to poison and you can also upgrade 1 of the plaguebearers and give him a minor gift so that he sports an AP2 weapon.

In my experience they are not bad at all, ive actually won against all odds simply by surviving multiple rounds of shooting on objectives.

Here is an updated list, since I can't take two heralds should I substitute the one I have for a better greater daemon or stick with the herald? i'll have to buy some spawn so I might hold off on doing the biker lord for now but i like the idea.

CSM

Chaos Lord + MoK + AoBF + BB + GoM 150

x10 Cultists 50

X9 khrone zerks 181

Plague Marines x 7 + 2 pg 198

Plague Marines x 7 + 2 pg 198

Land Raider + Dozer blades 235

x2 Rhino + Dozer Blades 80

Oblits + MoN x3 228

Heldrake 170

Daemons

Herald of Nurgle + Fecundity + Psyker lvl 2 + greater reward 140

20 Plague Bearers + Instrument 190

Soul Grinder + Phlegm + Daemon of Nurgle 180

Total: 2000

Thanks again for the good advice guys
