any help much appreciated guys!

Glory to Slaanesh

I would remove 1 cultist to get below 1k so that I dont have to sue you

I would recommend replacing the Sonic Blasters with another blastmaster, 2 blastmasters in a Havoc Launcher Rhino is a great way of clearing crowds. If you do this, also think about removing the Doom Siren from the sergant.
The problem with the squad of Noise Marines is that it does not have a focus as of now, either go heavy on Blast Master, or go heavy on Sonic Blasters, or give them Close Combat Weapons and a Doom Siren for close up debauchery.

All those bikers are a bit too much for a lord escort in my opinion, 3-5 is often enough to get the lord into close combat, so I would split them into two squads so that you have multiple threats, preferably with some sort of Special Weapon like a couple of meltas in each squad.

Blast Masters will wreck Marines and Eldar, which is nice, and orks, well, theres a lot of them, so the burning brand, the havoc launcher and the blast masters are good.
Your biggest problem will probably be the GKs since you dont have that much AP2 and the Eldar, because Eldar are ridiculous

Seems like a fun list.

Ok, so i took out all the sonic blasters and put in 2 blastmasters. Since I will be using the BM alot I took out the doom siren as you recommended since it wasnt doing a whole lot if I wont be in range most of the time.

And yeah its alot of bikers but I get more bang for the buck if theirs alot of them with my icon of excess giving them FnP, and it also gives my T5 3+ chaos lord a 5++ on top of all that.

What units in chaos are the best for taking on heavy armour like grey knight termmies? Will i just need to switch around the squad to get things like melta guns?

There is a proliferation of AP2 weaponry in the game nowadays. That Terminator armor on the Sorcerer may not really be worth it. For less points you can give him a sigil. While he will have a 3+ armor instead of a 2+... He would have a better invuln save with the sigil than he will the term armor. There are plenty of weapons that can shoot thru even 2+ armor, but VERY few that can deny invuln saves. It will also give him the added bonus of being able to jump in a rhino if he has to get somewhere quick later in the game.

Running the icon on the bikers is a good idea... And when you run an icon in a CSM unit- the idea is to have as many bodies as possible to get the most use out of it (and protect it)- you've got the right idea with the big bike unit. The less bodies in the unit, the less cost-effective it becomes.

Basically- I would recomend dropping some cultists, trading the term armor for a sigil and make him a mastery level 3. And throw some melta guns in the bikers.

you could also swap the term armor, drop the cultists- then keep your list exactly the same but use the Crimson Slaughter supplement. Then give your lord the Daemonheart artifact. It will give him a 2+ armor save and IWND. You'd still want to get some melta in that bike squad.
