Hey DakkaDakka!

Been toying with a list as a starting point for getting into Emperor's Children and chaos in general. I feel like this list has a nice spread of units to expand on later.
I want the list to be capable, not necessarily completely optimized.

I like the cross synergies between the Daemons and the Obliterators, Defiler and Disco Lord.
Also, the way I understand it, Syll'Eske and the Greater Possessed stacks to a total +2S on the oblits and daemon engines, is that correct?

I'd love some feedback, if there's something I'm missing, making it utterly useless.

Alternatively I'd swap the 10 Noise Marines for 5 CSM and a Defiler like the other. Not sure what to go with.
I like having the redundant Noise Marines for EF and VotLW, in case the big blob is killed or shut down, but the Defiler has more synergy with the rest of the list.
