Concept I read elsewhere was to hide Be'lakor behind the Land Raider with the Rhinos on either flank and the Vindi behind, using Shroud to move everything upfield.
Only things I'm not sure about are load-out on the Terminators (What to use for power weapons? And does the heavy flamer fit?) and whether or not the Nurgle Prince should even have psyker levels.

Comments & criticism welcome!

Why are you running crimson slaughter? Why not run the normal Dex, and give the Winged DP the black mace?

Although crimson slaughter does get you free fear, you really want VOTLW on those marines.

Whats the casting strategy? If its invisibility and shrouding each turn, then the daemon prince isn't doing much, so doesn't need the spell familiar.
drop the spell familiar and a mastery level, that gets you enough for some cultists to give rear field objective secured. Or maybe theres enough points there for another small rhino marine unit.
Not sold on daemonic possession on the vindicator. Maybe its just me, but I seem to miss far more often than i'm stunned.

If your terminators are shooting, then they are less likely to make the assault. I would scrap the guns.

I'll be ridiculed for this, but if its single force org, theres a home for mutilators as a cheap deep striking disruption unit.

Crimson Slaughter for the free fear and because I have no reason not to?

You think the winged DP would do better with the Mace than a psyker lev and familiar?

Casting is for shroud and maybe invisibility if I'm not playing against my friends, with the DP going Biomancy for the sake of murdering everything.
Not a good plan??

Possession on the Vindi is always worth it in my books, saved my bacon a number of times.

Fair point for scrapping guns on the termies. Want to keep the flamer though to help with people hiding in cover and hordes.

These sound like the options then;
Regular CSM codex - Ditch 2x psyker lev, familiar.
Add VotLW on CSMs, Khornate Mutilator (always wanted to try it)

OR drop the mutilator, add Black Mace to DP?

OR leave the psyker levels on the DP?
