I just miss using my Berserkers after they got beat by the 6th ed. rules and the vehicle rules.

I started my CSM army with Berserkers and loved them in 5th but now I haven't touched them in the 6th.

I want to dust them off and try them again and am looking to see if this list is worth trying.

My biggest issue with this I see is possibly not enough troops. This seems to be the trend with CSM unless you use a bunch of squishy cultists. I also ran out of points to give a Lightning claw or P-fist to my champions but that's why they have a lord or Kharn with them.

Im also unsure if I should take that extra Lord or just scrap him and put P fists on my champs. I just like the black mace. its a pretty awesome weapon and that extra lord adds some strength to the Berserker squad he is in.

over all I have major troop killing with Berserkers and baledrakes.

Armor killing will be left to Land Raiders or Kharn.

Any advice or ides would be much appreciated.

Why are there helldrakes in the list? You're already getting berzerkers into close combat turn 2. What needs to be killed by what the berzerkers aren't already killing?

Especially when your list could go for some more anti-heavy-hitters. I'd imagine that two squads of lascannon havocs or six obliterators would help you more than the helldrakes. That or some combi-melta terminators so that you can have everything in one killy place by turn 3.

Also, you're bringing a khorne lord, but you're choosing the generic Ap4 demon weapon over the Ap2 khorne-only demon weapon. Why?

I usually play against Eldar or Tau so I would be using the flyers to weaken up their troops before I charge in with my zerkers. although that means that I would have to wait till the flyers were on the board which is NOT Khorne-like. ill probably change those out for oblits.

Also I like the black maces special rules but it was kind of a flip of the coin between that and the Khorne one.
