Although there are Chaos IK Paladin and Errants, Id prefer 3 Gallants. Does the Adamantine Lance formation work for Chaos IK? If it does I may consider 3 paladins.

CSM and IK are not compatible due to Come tthe Apocalypse ally chart. However if I take a formation do j get to bypass the 12" separate deployment and 1" one eye open rule?

CSM:
2 Sorc, ML3, spell fam @250

2x10 cultists@100

malpollo@170

3x5 havocs with 4 ac @ 345

Gallant Lance @ 975 +2 meltaguns @10

Total 1850

I dont know how I feel about the 2 Sorcers trying to summon on 6wc. Really weak. I feel like I should add more points into havoc bodies.

A single Sorcerer could work if you bring a unit of Horrors (or Herald) to take over with the responsibility in later turns. That would give you more points to take a Fortification or flesh out your Havocs.

No, taking a formation doesn't cancel out CtA status asthe formations is still treated the same as the parent codex it came from.

I assume malpollo is a heldrake?

You have far, far too few bodies on the field, and your sorcerors have nowhere to hide as the cultists are not fearless and killing either 3 cultists or 2 havoks is a trivial matter to force Ld checks.

Summoning is indeed an ... interesting ... choice for 2 wound models that are virtually assured to perils themselves to death very quickly.

I saw Zergsmasher list

Combined Arms Detachment (Khorne Daemonkin):
HQ:
Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage
Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage
Troops:
16-man Cultists w/Flamer
16-man Cultists w/Flamer
Formation Detachment: Gallant Lance (Imperial Knights)
3 Knights Gallant, each with Icarus Autocannons

and thought I can make something similar. I have 5 IK and 20 cultists and other CSM junk. I have No Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage.

I used my 5 IK and was beaten by 2 WK. the feeling sucked.
