I'm looking for opinions on my new CSM list that I've been trying out.

Typhus goes with 1 oblit, sorcerer goes with another, normally drop both melta squads turn 1 into terrain, rest of the army comes in to back them up.

You just enlightened me on better ways to use typhus. Since it does say army in the rules where he upgrades cultists, you could totally do it to your daemonkin cultists, and since it is not a upgrade then they keep the marks of khorne and get the feel no pain and fearless.

I would remove MoN on sorcerer so you can roll on Divination table and ge tthe primaris and force. Maybe terminator armor, meltabombs and a force axe.

Forewarning gives 4++ for the whole unit
Precognition Psyker reroll hits, wounds and saves.
Misfortune gives rending(on a enemy unit)
and Primaris Prescience is also nice, reroll failed to hit for the whole unit

Maybe take VOTLW on the 2 man Obliterator squads you don't want to see them run.

You are going to deepstrike both the sorcerer and Typhus with 1 obliterator I think they wil be shot down the turn they land. Maybe try some other means of delivery like a slingshot spawn squad or bikesquad.

Our lists are very similar so you might want to have a look at mine.

Note that my Obliterators don't have VOTLW because me taking the Daemonheart relic from the Crimson slaughter denies me the use of VOTLW.

do you really have or want to buy dread claws? they are expensive on the wallet and by points. I would much rather have rhinos.

You really want to pay 230pts for typhus to get 20 plague zombies? I would much rather have a nurgle biker lord.

Your list doesn't scream nurgle to the face.

This list does

CAD 1

Biker Lord, MoN, sigil, pf+lc @165

Troops
your plague marines but with rhinos.

FA:
Nurgle Spawns or Bikers
At least 1 squad of Nurgle Spawns

heavy;
oblitz like you have

CAD 2

Sorc, bike,

2x10 cultists

4th biker squad or have the sorc join the other CAD1 stuff.

2 singleton oblitz

personally I choose havocs with ac instead of oblitz because the biker lord and spawns smash face on rear vehicles.

You could keep the mark of nurgle if you went Crimson slaughters and gave him the balestar

And can always combine bike with daemon heart armour

I agree with the dreadclaws, and donr they have a much higher troop capacity? Id stick to rhinos even if it looks slightly less cool.

I made a list with the same idea (almost the same title too!) But it came out very different, cool to see how different similar lists can be. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/663788.page
