Hey all,
I haven’t played in years, and was just flipping through books the other day and came up with this. I have no clue how well it will do, but let me know what all y’all think.
It’s a gunline type idea, cranking out 12 Autocannon, 3 Missile Launcher, 3xD3 Plasma, 36 Heavy bolter shots a turn. Hopefully with two camps for the Lords to bubble the shooting buff, the Warpsmith to heal the Brutes, and then the -1 to hit them should help. I’d be able to use the Helbrute stratagems to double tap with any number of them if needed, and the Rapier Batteries have Mark of Slaanesh to double tap if needed as well. Having 15 CP should help get all that done.
Furthermore, I was debating switching the Missile Launchers out of Twin Heavy Bolters on the Brutes, but not sure if it’s worth losing the Krak Missiles in exchange for more shots, or if the Autocannons and Plasmacannons would suffice.

Brigade Detachment – 1250 pts, Alpha Legion

HQ
2x Chaos Lord, standard 74 pts {148}
1 Warpsmith, standard 60 pts {60}

Elites
3x Helbrute w/ Missile Launcher and Helbrute Plasmacannon 96 pts {288}

Troops
6x 5 CSM w/ Auto Cannon – 75 pts {450}

Fast Attack
3x 1 Spawn – 25 pts {75}

Heavy Support
3x Hellforged Rapier Battery w/ Quad Heavy Bolter – 76 pts {228}

I like the list; plenty of range, lots of dakka, plenty troops... looks fun to play with and against

Surprising amount of firepower in that list.

CSM squads are kind of sucky but you seem to know what you’re doing there, have a solid strategy and I think it could work very well. I could also see you getting tabled by a clever Guard or ‘Nids player but since it’s a lower points level you will probably hold an advantage over them anyways. For 1250 points that is an astonishing level of firepower and seems really competitive.

Looks good and killy. I'm not sold on the plasmacannons and would probably switch them out for reaper autocannons then use the savings to give at least combi-bolter and chain axe to lords (might as well use the 2+ hit right?)
