First game with my new Noise Marines and friends

HQ
-Chaos Lord - Murder Sword / Plasma Pistol / MoS / Sigil of Corruption

Troops
-Cultists x20 - 2x Flamer
-Noise Marines x10 - Champ Power Sword / Doom Siren / 2x Blastmaster / 7x Sonic Blaster / Icon of Excess

Fast Attack
-Chaos Bikes x6 - Champion Lightning Claw / 2x Meltagun / MoS / Icon of Excess

Heavy Support
-Obliterators x3

Any recommendations for improvements are greatly appreciated, thanks.

Personally I'd say some sort of delivery method for the chaos lord? I'd drop the power sword on the champ and lose one cultist flamer to free up 20 points for steed of slaanesh, and put him with the bikers, giving them outflank and acute senses, also makes him fast enough to keep up with his MURDER target, since the noise marines have a more long range set up (read; no way to get close enough to use the siren) I'd also maybe lose the doom siren I'm currently building a slaanesh list too

I would separate the Obliterators into different units to avoid focus fire and Morale Checks taken.

Drop the Plasma pistol. If you want a shooting attack, take a BBoS.

Your Noise Marines are configured for two pseudo roles. They lack a transport and extra CCW, but then advancing into combat reduces their firepower and also increases the risk of casualties.

I'm afraid you're getting a little carried away with your new toys and buying your Noise Marines every upgrade in the book! Lets not make them into defilers, haha

Typically Blastmasters are best for MeQ lists, as you can take one with a squad of only 5, and they usually target different targets than sonic blasters.

Make sure you only take the icon on really big squads, 15+, or of size 10 if you really have lots of leftover pts.

I'd only throw doomsirens on squads with extra CCWs that you are planning on making assault Noise Marines.

Crimson Slaughter
Chaos Lord, BIKE, MoS, Blades of the RELENTLESS!

20 Cultist-no upgrade
10 Noise Marines, 9 Sonic Blasters (stand in front blast master team)
10 Noise Marines, 2 Blastmaster

10 Bikers, Champion Lightning Claw / 2x Meltagun / MoS / Icon of Excess

Heavy:
Oblit (No not use MoS!)
Oblit
Oblit

I would also recommend the crimson slaughter dex. Though perhaps smaller noise marine squads?

The Blade of the Relentless is an amazing piece of wargear.

I run a similar list as what Filch recommended, but with multiple jump pack squads and boons purchased rather than the bike squad.

Bike squad is likely superior, but I already run a biker army.
