I'm not looking for anything super competitive, I'm really just in the business of playing with models I like which is mainly Berzerkers. I also like terminators and raptors but I don't really see a way to make room for them in this low of a point value. My main goal with this list of to pressure my opponent from multiple directions with a highly mobile daemon prince with warptime, and crunch my opponent's value units between him and my zerkers. I'm not a huge fan of the havocs but they seem necessary almost to me.

Well this looks like a good Starter list really.

Maybee some small changes?

I would not really bother with the combi Melta on your Lord.
10 cultists are 50 pts not 55.
However a fluffy nice choice for an al army.

I wouldn't really mix weaponry in your havoc squads. If you'd Mark your obliterators with Slaanesh you can double shoot them. Also autocannons are a good allrounder..
I would invest the points in or two more havocs to get some fodder in before they kill your heavy duty guns.

Ah, the 55 points includes the champion. I wouldn't be opposed to just putting a billion autocannons on my duders, but I was worried that I would have a hard time against armor. Definitely will pop mark of slaanesh on my obliterators, I'm not too certain as to what all the marks do so

Take a look at veterans of the long war + double shooting on them if you Mark the havocs aswell.

Ahh so the cultists were 11.
I'd shave them to 10, but that's just me
