I'm wanting a all comers, deal with any army list. Not lookin for anything set to win at all costs but poses a friendly challenge. No limits on this list besides 500 points and a nurgle obliterator is a must (love these things). Can you guys help me out please? All comments welcome.

Captn Bob has got a great list. I'm a big fan of the BBoS lord/sorcerer in a rhino for low point games. My list would look like this:

Chaos Sorcerer- ML 3, Spell Familiar, BBoS (Warlord)
7 CSM- Plasma Gun, Rhino (Sorcerer here)
10 Cultists- shotgun, flamer
10 Cultists- shotgun, flamer
Obliterator- MoN

Sorcerer fires a witchfire out of fire point during psychic phase, fires BBoS and Plasma Gun out of the 2 fire points during the shooting phase. If you feel comfortable doing so disembark and rapid fire into someone
Cultists are your meat and potatoes. Get em up the board and have them both swarm some unit.
Your Obliterator is your heavy weapon specialist. Have him take out anything that threatens to blow up your rhino or kill him. Keep him as far away as possible.

My plan for a 500 point army was-

Sorcerer-100pts
Mastery level 2
Aura of dark glory
Force weapon

3 terminators-128pts
Mark of nurgle
3 combi-weapons
Power weapons

5 marines-90pts
Mark of nurgle

2x10 cultists-100pts

Obliterator-76pts
Mark of nurgle

Total-494pts

Basically pretty self explanatory, sorcerer goes with one cultist squad or nurgle marines. Nurgle marines sit on home objective in cover, cultists move up to attack, obliterator stays mid field providing cover fire and anti-tank and the termies deep strike where needed with combi-weapons( either 2 plasma 1 melta or all plasma).

My views of your list:
Sorcerer is very nice and well rounded, but if you wanted that extra bit of oomph, ditch the aura and give him a Sigil instead, a three up invun save is very usefull, and paired with mark of tzeentch...
Terminators are a no go for me, add more or buff up your favoured unit or whatever you choose, add another unit entirely, or ditch so thing else and add two more terminators, in threes they aren't that good, but in groups of five up they are very usefull and versatile. Also, if you insist on taking terminators, make sure you have a few Flamers, horde units are the bane of terminators.
Well, if you want to be 'fluffy', have 7 Nurgle marines. Giving MoN is a good move, but you may want to add a rhino for them (I take rhinos with havoc launchers and work very well for me) as well as add a special weapon.
Ermm... Cultists are cultists... Can't really comment there
Toughness six, two wounds, two up save can't be missed, and with all those weapons... Definate take for me. Those stats may be wrong, the codex isn't in my face atm...
My thoughts on the list, If I were you, I'd bump up the points to 600, the minimum tournement points (i know of at least), gives you much more options and more people will play 600 point games as small skirmishes at clubs if they bring small armies, are learning the game or at a school club. Again, these are just my views on the list, give or take.

Whoops... there doesn't seem to be anything here.
