Hi
Im toying aorund with the murderpack, and have come to this list. My main concern, should i change out oblits with a mage? Your thoughts are welcome.

HQ
Chaos lord, sigil of corruption, Power Fist, MON and VOTLW

Troops
10 cultists

Plague Marines
4 Regular Marines
2 with Melta Gun
CHampion with power axe
They are driving around in a Rhino

Fast Attack
2 Heldrakes with baleflamers

Heavy Support
2 MON Oblits with VOTLW

Murderpack

Helbrute, Power fist and Multi Melta
Helbrute, POwer fist and Multi Melta
Helbrute Powerfist and Twin Link LAscannon
Helbrute Powerfist and Twin Link LAscannon
Helbrute Powerfist and Twin Link LAscannon

THe HQ goes with Marines and attack his objektives. They are also rock hard, and wont leave objektives either.

THe Oblits gets deepstrike are should blow up atleast 1 tank with double multi Melta.

The murderpack just amrches up field and attack his meenest and badest unit. They have lascannons, so that they are a threat at all times, they cannot be ignored.

This looks like a fun list. If you added a sorcerer, where would you run him? He cannot cast much if in the rhino, and attaching him to ten cultists is a surefire way to have them run off of the board or get blasted to smithereens. Invisibility on the Murderpack would be nice, but you don't have many places for the sorcerer. As such, I would leave in the Oblits, but split them into two units; you can then drop VOTLW and tack on a couple more cultists, blight nades for the lord, etc.

I highly recommend running more than one rhino; if this was my list, I would probably drop one drake and the cultists for another unit of plague marines in a rhino.

spam murder pack

maybe have double dragons but they are weak now.

Thanks for the feedback.

After the fight with my freind, who fielded Iron Hands i gained some experiance.

THe murderpack is SLOW. they are easly avoidble and are stuck running around. Luckely the Lascannons where able to take down a Laspred and some terminators. NEver got them stuck into clos combat, and it is there they truely shine. But, they eat ALOTA fire, so the rest of my army luckly where able to get close.

The drakes, got shoot straight out, my freind had 2 twinlinked autocannons with skyfire and intercept. so one drake got blown as soon as he showed, and the other was able to flame som termies, for a singel kill.

The plauge Marines, this guys are tough as nails. they won me the game, hands down. THey where cought out on the flank. But they where able to instakill the other general with overwatch on the meltaguns, and then proceed to take only one casaulty from the charge from 6 terminators with power first. MY general was able to harvest the terminator sergant, and i did 4 kills on them. my freind quickly surrenderd the game after this, cuse it was round 4 and my helbrutes where finaly looking to get into charge range.

Experance til next time.

I realy like Helbrutes, but maybe the mayham pack is enough.
DOnt go apeshit crazy on the general, keep him killy, but dont go over the top.
The drakes are AWSOME, but are very prone to anti air.
Plauge Marines are very durable, but need some serius investment to get them killy enough. maybe keep a lord with some proper wepons with them. Remember to always have a way to destroy tanks with them.
Cultist are as always a waste of point, but so are regular Marines, cultists are just less waste.

So, this is my experaince with the Murdrepack.
