I'm working on a list for potential use in local tourneys, I haven't participated in a tournament before, but I've played more than a few games with CSM against Tau/Eldar/Necrons in friendly games. Please post to let me know what I could do to make this list better.

HQ - Nurgle Biker Lord w/ Sigil and Black Mace - 170

Troops - 2 Squads of 7 Plague Marines w/ 2 plasma guns, in rhino w/ dirge caster 238 each
Troops - 1 Squad of 7 Plame Marines w/ 2 melta guns, in rhino w/ dirge caster - 228
Fast attack - Heldrake w/ bale flamer - 170
Fast attack - 5 Chaos Spawn w/ MoN - 180
Heavy Support - 1 Tri-Lascanon Predator - 145
Aegis defense line w/ quad gun - 100

Allied units from Black Legion codex

HQ - Nurgle Sorc on a bike - Sigil, Last memory if the yuranthos, Spineshiver blade, Eye of night, spell familiar, ML3 (4 with the wargear) - 310
Fast Attack - Heldrake - Hades autocannon (WYSIWYG and I modeled it before realizing how awesome the baleflamer is...) - 170
Troops - Cultists x 10 (no upgrades) 50

Total 1999

Seems alright, but jumping jesus crackers that sorcerer is expensive for a 2 wound model. You better have a very, very specific role in mind for him.

For 310 points, you could buy:

A daemon Prince of Tzeentch with wings, armor, black mace, mastery level 2
2 more tri-las predators with havoc launchers
70 cultists

you get the idea

Plague Marine Rhinos don't need Dirge Casters: they shouldn't be assaulting with I3.

I also think that a second Heldrake will net more points than 5 Chaos Spawn.

Just my 2 cents.

The Spawn are there for the escort for my biker lord and sorcerer, So that he has some extra wounds to get him into combat.

I don't assault with plague marines normally, but the dirge casters can also shut down overwatch against my lord/spawn.
