Hi everyone. I recently started playing 40k, and I had a large commission done of CSM (bad idea if you play with a bunch of power gamers, let me tell you). I need some help build a good strong list to handle the plethora of imperial armies I see. Yes, my poor CSM has to deal with endless amounts of Imperial knights, thunderfire cannons, GKs (god I hate them), and all the other crap GW gives to the imperial armies. Anyways, here is what I am working with:

Abaddon
Kharn
Typhus
Huron
Sorcerers
Lord on Bike (Brand, power fist, lightening claws all magnetized)
8 spawn
45 plague marines (7 w/plasma, 4, w/ flamers, 2/meltas)
80 cultists
9 obliterators
3 heldrakes
3 maulerfiends/forgefiends
2 daemon princes (one with black mace the other a sword)
Be'Lakor
2 Helbrutes
5 Terminators (not assembled)
2 Predators (weapons magnetized
3 Rhinos

A lot of the stuff I am painting myself, but that is what I am working with. Any suggestions would be great.

I usually add more cultists, but ehhh.

wow, you have every thing you need to win.

That list you put looks very strong to me.

Play typhus and make those cultists zombies, 4 squads of 20 works. Run a lord on the bike with the spawn. You have 6 heavy slots, is this unbound?

Looks double CAD to me.

Two HQ's four troops and what not.

I see any anti-armor fliers like MM/TL Lascannon Storm Ravens having a field day with your vehicles
