(Just a reminder it is a 5thing edition list so if it seems outdated, its because it is) The goal is for the demon prince to jump ahead and use lash of slaanesh on a high thoughness, multiple wound targets (tyranid warriors, tau suits, etc.) and draw them out of cover/ bunch them up then proceed to pound them with defilers battle cannon. The prince can than mop up whatever is left with his high initiative making him usually strike first. The bikes can than either tank/monstrous creature hunt or tie up shooty units in combat. The Marines would then just provide support where needed. This list is mostly designed to fight tau or tyranids which is the two armies my buddy has. I'd love to hear any comments or criticism! Thanks in advance dakkanauts

You are playing also after 5th edition rules i assume?

If so, i would kick the Chaosmarines and the Thousand Sons and replace them with 2x5 Plaguemarines with 2x Melta or Plasma in Rhinos.

If you don't have Plagues play 2x5 Chaosmarines with a Rhino each and a Melta or you play them completely naked.

Defiler is also okay, but Oblit are better.

For the free points i would take another DP with Lash or you try to fit in as many Oblits as you can.

Yeah we're using the 5th edition rules too. Aren't rhinos kind of redundant against tau? And I use the defiler for instant death against suits and tyranid warriors. Nothing is quite as satisfying as wiping out a squad of 5 warriors in 1 shot. Do you think more plasma blasts (oblits) or a single battle cannon blast would be better?

Rhinos are fast and can place your Troops were you need them and also give them a little bit Protection. Footslooging CSM or Thousand Sons won't do anything, even in 5th edition.

The Defiler is not as good as Obliterators. The oblits are very versatile and you can also nuke Suits and Tyranid Warriors.

I would suggest you get as many Oblits as you can and than lash the troops of your oponents out of cover and place them as a blob, so your Oblits can fire there Plasmacannons at them.
