Just drop all the MoT on non terminator.

Dont mix lascannons n heavy bolters.

The squad of 10 csm should have 2 plasma or melta.

Quick heads up, the list isn't legal, you only have 1 troop choice and you require 2. If you wanted to make the Khorne Berzerkers troops you would require a Chaos Lord with a Mark of Khorne or Kharne

Thank you! I did not realize my list wasn't legal. I think I will try the dual melta on the csm squad, that sounds pretty nasty.

No worries man!

That said from this weekend that will be a 'legal' list using the new editions rules that are coming out. But glad I could help

Dual Melta is pretty sweet, especially if you find yourself up against a ton of tanks

And I usually am so it should be pretty helpful my common opponents are Guard, Tyranids and Space Marines so either armor or MCs

If your not huge on theme I recommend MoN on daemon price, a 3+ cover save while swooping thanks to shrouded!, also you can dump the axe for the black mace!

As for the zerkers, you can play them as chaos marines who took the 2 CCW option.

Zerkers need a land raider. BTW you can add another plasma pistol if you want, on the champion.

1 FMC is a poor choice. Just like armor, FMCs need saturation to be effective.

I have no idea what you're doing here, this list is everywhere. Do you have a theme? Every non-win-at-all-costs list has a theme of some sort. I can't really begin to give much advice until I understand what I can drop from this list because it needs redundancy.

I'm not sure what I did to deserve disrespect. Sorry I didn't see this DP + Sorcerer theme.

What do you think about giving your Chaos Lord the AOBF instead of the power fist? Its 10 points more but will allow you to attack more times and at initiative with an AP 2 weapon.

I don't feel like your opponent is going to let your berzerker deathstar roll up in an AV11 box. Consider taking a land raider.

Taking MoT on models with no invuln save is very unusual. What is your thought here?

Combi-weapons on termies and not on rhinos.

Csm are better off without a mark at all. Or with Khorne if you want them to be a higher mellee threat but to be honest, you'll rarely need it in the current shooting meta.

If you're taking zerks and a rhino, it might probably be better if you take 2 min squad of zerks, one with a rhino, another running behind it. That's weak tactix but currently zerks are a weak tactix anywayz. And i find it better than plain 10 zerks in a rhino. They'll at least be able to charge if someone gets close to you. Cause currently, the enemy can just move up to you freely and shoot the rhino to death without fear of being charged for the whole next turn.

Chain axes on zerks are a waste. Always.

Koooaei has a good point on zerkers, only if you take 2 5 man units, take 2 rhinos and keep them together if front as LOS blocker (don't forget smoke).

As for your MoT units, I see clearly you want to keep in theme, but I really recommend MoN more, the +1 T will help 100% of the time, while tzeentch won't give you anything in return.

Lastly the terminators should all have combi meltas, they are just to good to pass on, you can get these by dropping MoT on other units if you wish.
