Preparing my CSM list for a small 1000 pt tourny at the local game shop. Game plan is mostly walk up the disco lord & possessed together & target the major threats while buffing with the MoP. Venomcrawler is nice to body guard the MoP and get the psychic bonus.
I've been keeping the Terminators in deep strike for when I need the meltas, but I feel like I'm missing out on fire power & taking objectives early with only one troop unit.
Any comments on how to improve the list or strategy tips are appreciated. I don't have a lot to swap out with besides: another 5 man squad of termis, 2 obliterators, 15 legionaries, another Venomcrawler and a dark apostle.

Thanks in advance.
