Titles says it all.

I'll start by saying something I have been wanting to do ever since the new Daemon Codex was released, Primarily playing CSM.

The army starts off with me taking the following

Ahriman 230pts
Dark Apostle (Mark of Tzeentch) 120pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
ADL + Quadgun
1050pts Total

Daemon Allies

Lord of Change (Mastery 3 + Greater & Exalted rewards) 305pts
20 Pink Horrors of Tzeentch 180pts

Now, to explain the idea behind this odd looking list.
Without going into an overly thought out number crunching brainstorm, the idea is simply this...
Continuously cast Boon of Mutation on the Lord of Change with any psyker that managed to roll on the Tzeentch table, getting Boon of Mutation...
Why?
Because I had a dream... In this dream of wishes, one day, a Lord of Change would roll on the boon table and be granted Mechanoid.
To further his hopes of rolling on this, the Dark Apostle is in the unit

It's a gutter list for sure, but one day I want to play a game against some of my friends and simply forge a narrative in which this Lord of Change was trying to take over the universe XD

Life: An incomprehensible, endless circle of involuntary self-destruction.

The strategy for this list is quite simply put, Roadkill. I think I may have deviated from the thread title as I know that I would never play this list outside of Vassal without massive proxying.

800ish points - can upgrade the Warlocks to Jetbikes for better durability.

Renew is the name of the game and with 10 Warlocks and a Spirit Seer you should get 2 on average. Let Fuegan make those saves and the ones that get through only make him stronger.

There is a tzen spell in the CSM book that can allow the one who it was cast on to roll on the boon table. With all those sorcs in his list he will have a good chance of getting it a few times.

Mechanoid gives +1 to your armour save.

Basically this list, but Big Meks with KFFs instead of the Warbosses, and probably some out-flanking DeffKoptas for vehicle busting.

I would like to run an all infantry Space marine list, I have quite a few regular marines ive built up and i think it would be nice to make literally as many as i can into a 1500 point list.

In the same thread, Id like to do the same for my Dark Eldar, by running 100+ kabalites in a game with no vehicles. I used to do that waaaay back when you could get 10 man Dark Lance squads on the cheap, and it was glorious.

17,000 points (Valhallan)
10,000 points
6,000 points (Order of Our Martyred Lady)
Proud Countess of House Terryn hosting 7 Knights, 2 Dominus Knights, and 8 Armigers
Stormcast Eternals: 7,000 points

Wraithguard fly up, leap out and shoot, the scorpions get out of the wave serpent behind them. Scorpions get a 2+ cover save from being behind the wraithguard for a turn before charging (spiritseer + primaris for shrouded, scorpions already have stealth)
Farseer casts buffs on the wraithguard.

This list will work once only.

Perhaps you could get some Dreadclaws for a CSM "Drop pod" list?

I would like to try a heavy mech list with blitzkrieg style play.

I play Tau, so i don't know how effective that would be, but i think it would be cool.

I try to find ways to change up the style that Tau (at least) are known for.
