I was bored, so i made a list from my existing CSM models (got like 3000pts worth from 4th ed which are gathering dust). I don't intend on dishing out tons of cash for GW just to get the latest cool units, so am not going to play this list in anything, but friendly games for fun. The theme is heavily on bikes and slaanesh, as my army is painted in emperor's children colors as when i painted them, cult armies were in (3rd ed?) and slaanesh was good then (or my opponents were just bad ). Anyways, here is the list. Feedback is welcome on anything that comes to mind. Tactics wise does this list have a fighting chance? is the theme cool etc.

HQ:
Chaos lord on bike, MOS, Black Mace, Burning Brand, Gift of mutation, VOTLW(joins one of the biker squads)

Elite:
Helbrute (just because got the DV one and it looks cool and had 100pts to spend on something)

Troops:
10 Noise marines, 8 sonic blasters, blastmaster, champion with doom siren (these will be footslogging around)
10 Noise marines, 3 sonic blasters, blastmaster, champion with doom siren (these will sit behind ADL and man the quad-gun)
10 cultists, 8 autoguns, heavy stubber, champ with shotgun
10 cultists, flamer, shotgun champ

Fast attack: (now for the bikes!)
5 bikers of slaanesh, plasmagun, champ with dual Lightning claws and meltabomb, WOTLW (lord joins these)

5 bikers of slaanesh, plasmagun, champ with fist

5 bikers of slaanesh, plasmagun, champ with power axe

(all the champs are converted from the DV box chosen so thats why no consistency with the loadup)

Heavy support: (really was just filling points here)

Chaos predator, TL LC, LC sponsons, dozer blade

3 obliterators, (am using my converted slaanesh terminators as oblies as they have tentacles and other cool looking bits spruting out from every place).

Fortifications:
ADL, quad gun

Total: 1850pts.

So any comments are welcome, remember, not a competitive list i'm sure, but rather do you like the theme and could this work in any way? THX in advance for any comments!

Did some changes to the list...

I would give the oblits mark of nurgle. Its infinitely better and ony 6 pts a guy.

Seems like a fun list with add ons to DV. Enjoy!

I would leave the Oblits unmarked and use the leftover 6 points to give melta bombs to one of you bikers champs without the fist.
This keeps the fluff in line over just the obligatory "add Mark of Nurgle" to it that the internets is so fond of.

Also, I would max out the sonic blasters on the non-ADL squad. It seems like they will see more front line use than the squad in the back. So, it would be an 8 and 3 breakdown instead of 5 and 5.

Cool, had not thought of that. Propably a good idea to run the lord in the squad with the dual lightning claw champion biker so the champion can accept challenges from puny sergeants etc, so that the lord can use his black mase to full effect, as when he is in a challenge i think no enemy models, exept the one in the challenge, will be comming to btb contact? Also the lightning claw champion will propably rip any MEQ to shreds before they get to strike back with the +1 Initiative from MOS

Also good point about the sonic weapons! Did not even concider that for some reason when writing up the list.

did some updates to the original list...

The Black Mace effects enemy models within 3 inches of the mace wielder, not just those in base contact. This means it CAN effect other models while you're in a challenge, seeing as how you just move the challengee to be in base contact with the challenger.

Oh, for some reason i read in btb... oh well, even better then if the lord gets to kill atleast one model. Too bad it's AP4 but the biker base will add inches to the AOE when he manages to kill something with it

Hope that Lord is DOOOOOOOOMRIDER!!!

Nope, actually here is a pic of the "lord" and his champion bikers, which i converted out of the DV chosen and some bikes. They still need to be a bit more touched up by some conversions and painted though
