So re-doing my lists in light of the new PA book and CA. Thinking of focussing painting on my ancient 2004 IW army:
<Slaanesh> 13CP

Battalion <Chaos Space Marines, Iron Warriors>
Master of possession <warlord> 88
Dark Apostle 72
2 Dark Deciples 10
3 Obilterators 285
3 Obilterators 285
3 Obilterators 285
5 Chaos Marines (Powerfist, Flamer, Chainswords) 70
10 Chaos Cultists (Lasguns) 40
10 Chaos Cultists (Lasguns) 40
Rhino (2x Combi-Bolters) 69

Battalion <Chaos Space Marines, Iron Warriors>
Daemon Prince Wings, 2x Malefic Talons, <Fleshmetal Exo> 165
Warpsmith (Power axe, Meltagun, Flamer, Mechatendrites) 60
10 Chaos Cultists (Lasguns) 40
10 Chaos Cultists (Lasguns) 40
10 Chaos Cultists (Lasguns) 40
Helbrute (Twin Lascannon, Helbrute Fist) 130
5 Havocs (4x Lascannons, Bolter) 170
5 Havocs (4x Autocannons, Bolter) 110

So is trying to be decent on the table top while focussing on the models i have in the case:
- helbrute is there because i have a cool conversion
- chaos marines are there because i can't bring my self to just use cultists and have no CSM!

Idea is the MoP takes cursed earth + infernal power and sticks with the obilts. He also takes the 6's to hit are 2 hits WL trait.
So have all 9 with a potential 4+ inv, re-rolling 1's to hit and wound with any 6's to hit being 2 hits!

Lascannon havocs are covered by cultists to rock the you cant shoot them cannon fodder strat and they spank out shoot twice, re-roll damage strats etc. If low on CP and in general the DA sticks round these guys to 5+ inv them.

DP is a warp time smash it up there and hope for the best

Marines + Warp smith in the rhino, not great but bit of CC obj grabbing that the cultists cant get to quickly

Seems pretty IW fluffy and not to bad on the table?

I’ve been playing testing with the IW since the drop of the new book. Without changing too much I would move the lascannon havocs to the same detachment as the obliterators, swap the warp smith for a chaos lord(just use the same model and say he’s a lord for fluff sake!!). After all the take the devastation battery out of the Vig Ablaze book. This will let you
Give your chaos lord field commander if needed and bring the trait to re roll 1s vs vehicles AND if you Go second you could use the strat to fire on your opponents turn. This has been working amazing for me. It sucks if you play against someone with no vehicles and you get first but overall it’s been working good. Killings a key unit first turn is always huge. Other than that the list looks fun

ooo nice idea! problem is i can't have 4 heavies in a Battalion.

I could still do this though with the warpsmith, keeping within me points limits. Great idea thanks!

Drop the hellbrute, add a HQ and make a spearhead detachment instead with all your heavy support? Extra CP in it for you
One hellbrute is a bit flimsy too
