So the list should be pretty obvious but I plan on throwing the Rhino's filled with Khorne at them. I'll use the blob of people to walk upwards and fire off kakophoni plasma with Huron to back it up. The lord and champ ride the party van and the sorcerer jumps down and blows stuff, while making the other kakophoning terminator's better. I want to be as competitive as this type of list can be. I say this because my shop tries to be competitive but they are not very good at it and don't try to study. I don't want to be that guy.

I've shown this list to some one and got some great feedback. I'm wanting to cement a list as much as possible so I can start buying towards it, thank you.

cut the flamers on the csm squads:
give the Termites some sort of weapon to make use of slaanesh (probably a reaper autocannon or 2)

Consider the fact that you somewhat lack in AT weaponry and don't have access to VotWL which means that you should probably get some more AT in the list.

you got 8+8+2 CP from detachments due to beeing red corsairs.
That is more then enough imo.
+3 from Battleforged and plus 1 from Huron that would be casually 24 CP.

Thanks! I honestly have taken your advice to heart but really don't know what to alter. I haven't played the game since sixth edition and am really lost as to the changes.

I'm making the list now so I don't waste money in the long run buying stuff I don't need. I like the models in here and honestly don't want two battalions but I am not sure if I can not afford to have the CP with the constant 2CP tax for either double shot or double fight.

The terminators and Berserker's where simple enough for me as is the blob of 20 with plasma. I can get my head around what to do with them. With tanks being what they are now I am at a loss as to how to take them down. I would love Havocs and a ten man squad with two chain guns and a combi bolter, but I honestly don't know what to build around or with.

Essentially I took HQs I know are good by looking at them, a blob of something I know is good by looking at them. Bersekers cause they sound like a fun project, and terminators because the deep strike double shot seems horrifying.

Thank you.

This is pretty close to what I like to run.

Sorcerers are your friends in this edition, alongside Dark Apostles. I personally think they are both mandatory choices.

Having used the plas on the lord, I'd drop it. It never does anything and getting into CC is much more important. When supported well with a sorcerer and a DA, you can wound anything on a 2+ rerolling 1's with a 3++. Bring the Champion along with a chain axe and chainsword and you get more attacks and rerolles of 1.

For your terminators, I personally wouldn't run in them in that big a squad.

2 5 man squads (1 with Combi-Melta and 1 with Combi-Plas) Marked of Slanesh with Chain Axes and Icons of Excess can be brutal, especially to imperial armies.

The flamers are mostly useless. I'd cut them for Plasma guns, which is the only real viable way to run CSM squads.

Deamon Prince is a great idea, I really dig that kit out.

I like the big termie squad. That many bolters firing (with strats) would shred blobs of chaff to pieces

CSM can have thunder hammers now?

That's what I was thinking. I'd love to add autocannons but am trying to figure out how. Yes the captains can now with the new codex.

So after fiddling with some stuff. I stripped down my marines and did some tweaking to get this. Basically the party vans of Khorne escort my prince down towards who I want to kill. They can handle damn near everything save hoard. For hoard I pop down my termies who can deal with that easily. The prince and champ ride in the van. The sorc pops down with the termies and helps them shoot and keeps them moving. Lastly the regular marines add some extra dakka and cover objectives, the blob in particular escorting Huron to the middle objective where he pulls out a lawn chair and basks in his greatness.

After some tweaking. I think I like this list a lot better. It goes 50/50% Slaanesh Khorne. I think it can be stupid.

Now this i like:
28 berzerkers in 3 busses with lord support,
another 30 marines of which 20 can be recycled, very nice, blackheart for a Power including his hamadrya and a hammer squad in form of 10 termites with reapers.

It's in your face, mobile, has 3 firemagnets and a guaranteed alpha strike with the termites.
