Ok everyone I know this might not be the place for it but I have put my csm army on the shelf for too long(since 4th ed)(been playing tau mainly) and just wondering if anyone could help me build a solid semi-competitive 2000pt TAC army. I have tons of models but would love it to be mainly nurgle as they have been my fav for a long time. I love building models so I have a couple. Ive heard a lot about the summoning stuff would be cool but rather not revolve my army around that, but im open to any suggestion.(I would also have to buy any Chaos deamons stuff as I don't have any or access to).
ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRICIATED.
MODELS
1 lord
2 sorc
2 deamon princes
about 30 plague marines w/ various weapons
20 csm w/ various weapons
20 cults
10 Khorne Berzerkers
10 termies with various weapons
2 helbrutes
1 land raider
1 defiler
5 oblits
2 preds with any combo of weapons
about 5 rhinos and two unbuilt ones
also don't own one but can get a heldrake(my buddies)
also have most of the fortifications as well

If you can get your hands on a bike for your lord and some spawn then you could be on the way to a solid list.

HQ
Chaos lord
Bike
Sigil of corruption
Power fist
Lightning claw

It's 2000 on the button and while it's not the greatest list it's about the best I can do with your list plus the small addition of the bike and spawn

Thanks for the response!
The spawn and bike lord would be great. Should I be concerned about getting any pyc defence or anything like that. Any other advise that others can offer?

imo I say drop the helbrutes and khorne bezerkers. my experience with the bezerkers even with the land raider is subpar and they just don't do enough. I would put terminators into the land raider and if feeling adventerous even throw some khorne or nurgle marks on them just to make them tougher or deadlier. Helbrutes has that multi melta. problem is that it needs to get close to do anything and when other units like lootas and tau (in general) see your helbrute they will laugh.
TL;DR: Get a heldrake if you are going to take a winged daemon prince. If you don't have a winged DP, take it anyways. They are really good.

Thanks I don't really have a list still looking for something good just getting ideas at the moment.

Heldrakes are not as good with their seventh ed update, to the extent that the baleflamer isn't the optimum load out!! Terminators are awful in csm unless your lucky enough to have a melta drop work for you. Nurgle biker lord is a fether to kill, but building good lists will be easier when this edition settles down

Ceann has a good idea with the list, changes that I would make to it though would be.

Take ML3 on prince.

Drop 3rd oblit so both units have 2.

Take duel weapons on PM, Sargents don't need PF, at the most give them power axes.

Cultists don't need anything.

And that's it, should be enough points to throw in a heldrake, if you do take one always take bale flamer, with this new FAQ on it he autocannon is pretty crappy, and the flamer stays about as good as it was.
