Hey so as a quick note no I don't have any add on codices or the new traitors legion codex because I can't justify spending £60 on books that only give formations and no huge needed changes because A) privately I don't like the idea of formations so I wont use them anyway and B) yes my list wont be as good and it will bug me not having the formations but I doubt I will buy any anytime soon.
My list is more fun and fluffy than competitive, I mean if I don't buy the formations and play chaos i'm already at a disadvantage...

Ok so now onto the list.

HQ: Chaos Lord 125 points (MoK, Axe of Blind Fury and a Plasma Pistol), MoK allows me to get khorne Beserkers as troops, Axe of Blind Fury allows me to be a beast in combat while spending less points and my Plasma Pistol is only there because I had 15 points left and is on my lord because it's easy to put a power axe on my dark vengeance lord from one of my chosen than buy a new model.

Troops: Chaos Cultists x 5 50 points, filler for the troop slot and to capture objectives.
Khorne Beserkers x 5, they get lots of attacks in combat, make sense in a khorne army and are one of the main reasons for this list, while I acknowledge that they aren't that great I am playing for fun and I really like Khorne Beserkers and maybe in the next codex they will be pretty good.

Fast Attack: Raptors x 5 125 points (2 Meltaguns, MoK), they are my anti-tank which I had problems with at first and are made to be more close combat oriented because my list is about close combat, while bikes could have filled the same role and I constantly hear people saying bikes are better, they are more expensive, can't deep strike next to vehicles and aren't as close combat oriented, also I love the idea of raptors and in my mind they go much better with a khorne army.

Dedicated Rhino 45 points (Dirge Caster, Dozer Blade) dirge caster goes well as it will transport lord and beserkers because charging into a gunline without being shot at is great, also a dozer blade is great for only 5 points.

I'm not sure any transport is necessary at such a small points cost, and raptors are CC/faster so don't need one. Cultists are cheap points wise and aren't worth getting a rhino for, and a chaos lord on it's own.... Nah, 10 model vehicle for one model.

I would perhaps get more cultists and take off the rhino, and I'm not sure MoK is worthwhile when there's no Khorne Berserkers.

Fluffwise, I like it, very khornate, and I agree on your idea with the raptors.

Good luck with your games!

Hey thanks for the reply!
I thank you for the feedback but I believe you missed that I actually had beserkers XD.
Would you say the rhino is worth it with beserkers?

Oooooh! Right, apologies!

Perhaps even with the berserkers it might not.... Though on the other hand, if you've got a big, open field to run across, you want to get there quickly and the rhino can prove useful as a shield, too so you receive no casualties. Especially if they are to keep up with the raptors so you have 1 strong CC assault.
