Any opinions on my list?

I dig it!

The Fire Raptor is a heavy support choice though, I think. May be wrong but take a second look at the rules. Make sure you give it the Reaper Batteries for an incredible amount of Anti-Air. Consider Daemonic Possession as well since strafing run will keep you at BS4 against ground targets and your primary AA guns (The batteries) are twin linked so BS3 versus flyers ain't no thang.

I'm confused by your bikers, they seem out of place.

If you are hurting for points the first thing I'd drop is the GoMs followed by the havoc launchers.

The bikers are a cheap escort/way out of challenge for my lord

Doh!

Of course.

Your list is an interesting attempt to make TSons work.

While many would be afraid to run a list like this, kudos for you for ignoring the shouts of the competitive players. Maybe you will be winning 80% of the time instead of 100% of the time.

That said, there are a few things about this list that interest me, and a few others that concern me.

1) You will be getting a total of 6 + d6 warp charges each turn. You'll be spending 6d6 each time you cast a psychic level 3 power, which only gives you a 65.63% chance of pulling it off. That said, With your sorcerer, pursue powers that are Warp Charge 2 and below. Don't get greedy and he will be more effective.

2) Your MoK lord needs protection to get up the field, or he will get shot up. Consider swapping the bikers for spawn. Yes, the bikers are tough, but you will get further with the additional wounds the spawn offer.

3) The Fire Raptor is going to be winning a lot of games for you. It's what the Heldrake used to be in so many ways. Really think about whether or not you need to Heldrake. I can see it as your anti-air solution, but not as your anti-infantry solution.

4) The 4 autocannon havocs are going to give you a lot of anti-armor, but they need ablative wounds. Consider adding some more marines to that unit.

5) The Obliterators are going to wreck some face. You could split them out into 1 man squads by adding a second combined arms detachment where the sorcerer is the HQ choice. This would let you target your opponent a lot more selectively, I understand it's becoming a popular choice for CSMs.

6) Overall, this list looks thin on troops. There's a lot of heavy weapons there but only 15 troop models. It will do well against mechanized armies, but it will suffer against hordes and any assault armies it faces. You might want to think aspect of play for a moment, and how it fits into the armies of the people you are likely to play.

What about this, the slanesh marines have a bit of shooting, will eat marines in cc, and put some hurt on Eldar while being able to live a bit longer with excess.

Spell familiar on the sorcerer is a great take. You can throw less dice at psychic powers and therefore cast more.

Otherwise looks like reasonably competitive non-mainstream list.

I would ditch the gifts of mutation (and probably the havok launchers..) and get in more bikers. You can probably get away without the sigil on the sorceror as well (should never be taking hits!)

In the psychic phase- are you looking for lots of witchfires?
