I'm trying to make a list around the Helfist Murderpack and could use some help.

This is what I have so far.

-HQ-
Be'Lakor - 350
Warpsmith - 110

-Troops-
Chaos Space Marines x10 - CCW+Boltgun, Mark of Nurgle, Meltagun x2, Rhino - 258
Chaos Space Marines x10 - CCW+Boltgun, Mark of Nurgle, Meltagun x2, Rhino - 258
Chaos Cultists x21 - 94

-Fast Attack-
Heldrake - Baleflamer - 170
Heldrake - Baleflamer - 170

-Helfist Murderpack-
Helbrute - Multi-Melta, Powerfist + Heavy Flamer - 115
Helbrute - Multi-Melta, Powerfist + Heavy Flamer - 115
Helbrute - Multi-Melta, Powerfist + Heavy Flamer - 115
Helbrute - Thunder Hammer, Powerfist + Heavy Flamer - 120
Helbrute - Power Scourge, Powerfist + Heavy Flamer - 125

I have three of the Crimson Slaughter brutes so I can't switch out their options easily and have yet to buy the other two brutes.

So any thoughts on what could be improved? Have any of you had any luck with this formation?

I would make the other Helbrutes more long range. Remember you have to make it across the board with them and you are going to take a crazed marker or 2. I would but a couple LC or ML in the group so you can double fire those if you want.

"Look upon me and know that I can slay you at will. You have no defence save one: to look into the darkness at the back of your own mind. There, you will find Father Nurgle waiting to offer you life in return for your submission. Deny him, and you are mine." — Typhus the Traveller, Herald of Nurgle

Hunting with the 13th

I agree about adding some ranged weaponry to the murderpack. If anything, add a cheap Reaper on one (should be easy to mod) and stick him in the front of the pack; when he gets wounded, he can go crazy, staying in place for a turn and firing his weapons twice while the other brutes shuffle up.

I also recommend splitting one of your csm squads into two squads of 5 (and an extra rhino; dropping a couple of heavy flamers and/or a handful of cultists shold cover it), as this gives you another obj-secured threat, and could give just a bit more mobile cover for brutes and cultists, if needed.

It is so easy to put coffee straws into the flamer/melta hole and call it a reaper autocannon.

Ih. I would run if your not assaulting. Buy ranged attacks elsewhere.
