This list is designed for an ITC Major. Off the top of my head, psykers are my first weakness. Anything else that might be a potential weakness?

Someone pointed out that board control will also be a weakness. Opinions?

Hmm, the cheapest way of boardcontroll for chaos i can think would be a min battalion of R&H.

I've used a battalion of WE cultists with hellwrights. That works good.

Well We cultists are now just cultists, might aswell go as cheap as possible then, no?

My idea for this list is, that I don't "need" the cultists. I intended on using the killyness of the knights to get objectives and points. So far the field I'm going against looks like a lot of power armor, only a couple other full knight armies, mix of xenos.

Do you have enough plattforms with the right firepower though.
That is an issue for you.

Just what I have on the top post. 3 big boys, 4 little.

Do you think you would survive against a horde list?

The closest to horde I've played against was GSC. That was tough. It was also with my other version of this list with CSM. Had I used different tactics I could have won. I also haven't seen horde lists in my meta in a long time short of Orks, and even those are not being played as much anymore.

Split it into 2 superheavy detachments for the extra cp.

You kinda do have board control. Push the knights since with stomp they will be a threat to all the small stuff while they shoot and kill anything else. Park a Armiger on a objective to get that 1 point/turn.
Vs horde you have the stomp and just weakened things before you go in. Castellan will be biggest threat since it will kinda eat a knight a turn.

I'd thought about splitting, but do I really need 12CP with only 2 strats? I like that strategy, I usually park the helverins on the closest objective anyways, I do need to be a bit more aggressive with my dual avenger guy. I usually sit him back. The dual heavy flamers can put in work. I've done against one castellan, it's such a pain to kill. I have to over commit to killing it, which leaves the rest of my opponents stuff free. But, if I don't that boy will have it's way with me.

12cp is 6 Rotate Ion shields and there is 6 turns in a game.
Re'roll a save or d6 damage.
3cp for free can be the difference between an extra save from a volcano cannon or turning that D1 into a D6.
You only increase your drop by one.

Yeah, that makes sense now. I suppose and extra Rotate and Trail of Destruction isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I just remembered, if you don't have any Titanic boys you don't get any CP. One Titanic nets you +3, three Titanic nets +6.
