Hello all... Seeking some help.

My husband is joining a tourney with a Ultra Marines list. He asked me if i could make a strong Chaos Space Marines list to test him out. I have already tested his list with Adlance + Blood Angels and Astra Militarum. But i am a bit rusty on the CSM side of the game.

I know his list a bit and its a razorback (lascannon) spam with tactical squads fielded with lascannons. So lots of those. He also brings 3 centurions and a Inquisitor to the game. And a Storm Talon

I have boiled down a list to keep him a bit occupied but i am not sure if i am at the right track. The tournament is not allowing forge world, otherwise i would have brought a Fire Raptor or Sicaran to the party.

But my list is as follows:

1850 pts Crimson Slaughter

HQ
Chaos Lord on bike, Daemonheart, MoN, LC, PF, meltabombs and Sigil of Corruption, the Slaughterer's horns 215 pts
Sorceror on bike, Lvl 3 psyker, Meltabombs, Sigil of Corruption, Spell Familiar, 175 pts.

Troops
20 x chaos cultist, flamer 90 pts
10 x chaos cultist 50 pts

Fast Attack
5x Chaos Spawn, MoN 180 pts
Baledrake, 170 pts
Baledrake, 170 pts

Maulerfiend 125 pts
Obliterators, MoN, 228 pts

Formation
Mayhem Pack
3 x Helbrutes with MM and PF and heavy flamer 345 pts

Bastion, Comms relay 95 pts


The thoughts are to sit tight round 1, hopefully getting drakes and Helbrutes (deepstriking) in at turn 2 getting him plenty to think of, while i run up the field with the bikerlord and psyker with spawns and mauler. Supporting fire from the oblits. Small cultist squad manning the commsrelay and oblits in bastion.

He just have ALOT of bolters and many lascannons. Hopefully he spares the gravguns at the spawns since they have no armoursave.

Looks solid. My one thought was that the oblits will be a bit wasted in the bastion. You can only use the lascannons every other turn. I would probably split them into 2 units and DS close for meltafun. Or swap for havoks.
