Interesting list it will be competitive but it needs tweaking to take weaknesses out.
Beserkers in rhinos will not get into combat quickly; and get eaten as they emerge (okay small chance of it - but fun)
The chaos bikes die to quickly when plasma and melta weapons get turned on them - as per all CSM/SM/IG army carry nowadays. But these bikes are to hide the characters in while they get across the field.
If I was playing this list I would fiddle around with the bikers, one big unit, two even sized units, one big - one little (tank hunters).
The only thing I would think to change are the cultists and obliterator. The cost of the cultsists + oblit is similar to a decently kitted out havoc unit + extra marines + vindicator; which would probably cause more problems.

I'm with Jasper,

I would drop the cultists for a dakka havoc squad. A havoc squad with Auto-cannons is about 115pys (sorry in the office and no codexes) Missile launchers is a very respectable 135pts.

Clearly the bike unit is a Lord Delivery tool, I would cut it back in size and possibly to 6 models (mainly for fluff purposes, I seem to remember Khorne liking 8) and adding a second smaller one for some flexibility on the tank hunting front.

I would also lose daemonic possession on the Rhino's, those things will be eating your Berzerkers.

Plus, lets not forget, Rhino's are not going to last long on the table being glanced to death by massed heavy bolter shooting with ease.

Havoc squad on the Quad and a Vindicator would be much more effective i think. Less bodies but a bigger punch. Arm the Havocs with Autos and your sorted. If you can get it for the points cost.

Apostle can't take a Juggy. pg 91 #2 ref. Steeds are for Lords & Sorcs only.

Damn, didn't see that! Well thats another 160 pts to play around with and the daemonic possession makes it 190. That means that I can take out the obliterator makes it 266 points left.Heres a new list with updates:
