Hi, i'm a 40k player that sold stuff a while ago hence wasn't playing.
I got this insane deal for 130€
Chaos Space Marines Army:
2200 pts (aprox)
1 Land Raider
2 Rhino
1 Predator
1 Terminator Lord
5 Possessed
5 Terminators
5 Raptors
19 Beserkers
10 Old Marines
All Khorne themed. Coincidentally i play AoS... Khorne. I have, that is 40kable, 30 blood letters, 1 Blood Thirster. Demon Prince too.
So what i need to start off seems to me is Characters. No clue what to get. After what should i go for, Toys or Big Boys? I already can include the Prince, not sure about the blood thirster, i know it exists in 40k with a different model even, bigger, but mine is legit i guess.
What you guys say?

Hard to say... depends on where you want to take your army. What you have is fairly allround but lacks focus. I think what's easiest to make out of this is a Berzerker Party Bus rush. Get Kharn, toss him with 9 Zerkers in the LR, then get at least 10 more Berzerkers to fully fill up the Rhino's. You can also get even more Berzerkers that you can footslog with Apopleptic Frenzy (going to assume you're going to make them World Eaters). DP can move up behind the Party Buses. Then get a bunch of Havocs and/ or Bikers to clear screens for your Berzerkers. If there's any more points left a Lascannon Havoc squad for anti-tank threat and threat saturation. Although I honestly have no idea whether all this is gonna fit within 2k points.

Don't want more Berzerkers, maybe just use a unit of this ones. You said making them World Eaters for Apopletic Frenzy? That's the kind of stuff i don't know about. I want a diverse army, can have Khorne only be a faction of it. You mentioned Kharn the Betrayer along them ok. Bikers sound great switch up fast attack. Lascannon Havoc seems cool but i'd rather get a Toy that did the job, in chaos there are so many robots 
I don't have much money i'll be going for 2nd hand, so things like bikes are good they go back.... ages, plenty of it. Khorne things are new and shinny, 1st hand grab. I can get a hero sure but i'm looking for comand traits and bonuses.

So... I'm getting the sense that theme is more important to you than power. Correct?
Battalion Detachment (Heretic Astartes - World Eaters)
Terminator Lord
Daemon Prince
Berzerkers x10 - Land Raider
Berzerkers x9 - Rhino
OldMarines x 10 Rhino
Possessed
Terminators
Raptors
Predator
Patrol Detachment (Chaos Daemons - Khorne)
Bloodthirster
Bloodletters x30
If you give your Possessed a ride, everything in that list is either relatively fast-moving or can Deep Strike.
You could split your Heretic Astartes into two Detachments, so that you could have one World Eaters and one, say, Iron Warriors; put the Berzerkers in one and then put stuff that doesn't really benefit from being WE (like the OldMarines) into the other.

Niice. Thanks. Where can i learn about the giving WE Khorne Slaanesh traits to something benifits? 1d4 is mostly AoS. And AoS has the app with every single model warscroll... Needing a source really 40k changed back from my days. Automatically Appended Next Post: I like themed but i really like different things in an army. The oposite of when you find an IMBA unit\char setup, abuse it, get's to be FOTM and then nerfed...
My fav army is Orks for that reason, even going 1 Kulture only tou get artillery morkonauts Lootas bikes buggies so much.
But i'm going into the chaos realm now
I like to win too tho ofc...

Ok. I'll have to print codexes since it's... Chaos & Demons, Khorne had its own in 7th i heard?
Chaos problem from what i gather from BReports is sustaining the power fire while reaching enemy lines. A top list at a major had 20 possessed "flying high" which seems you can'l hit, i'll be sure to do it with my 5. Also blood letters can drop in and 3D6 charge (at least in the BR i saw maybe it's keyword) so he dropped 2nd round, made the charge and boost on charge wrecked 3 cultist units pilling in to the survivors.
So far the Berserkers in Rhinos i've seen get cracked open at spawn or far from the target and if you don't get a lucky (even re-rolling) charge you stand and get shot off...

You can't. In a World Eaters detachment, every unit has to take the Mark Of Khorne.
