I'm helping a friend build his first army list and we are both new to the game. We are starting at 500 points and he has chosen to run CSM.
This is for fun time kitchen table play.

Here is two version, we are using some parts from DV to cut down on cost.

HQ:
Kharn the Betrayer
160 Points

Troop:
10 Chaos Cultists
5x Auto guns
55 Points

Troop:
5 Khorne Berzerkers
Rhino, Plasma pistol
155Points

Elites:
5 Chosen
5x Mark of Khorne, Plasma Gun, Plasma Gun
130 Points


----------------- OR ------------------------


HQ:
Kharn the Betrayer
160 Points

Troops:
10 Chaos Cultists
Flamer, Shotgun, 8x Auto gun
65 Points

Troops:
10 Khorne Berserkers
Rhino, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Pistol, Meltabomb
275Points


We will NOT be facing armor outside of troop transports in our 500 points games.

We've both decided Kharn is a wrecking ball and is well worth the points. Where we are trying to balance is fodder vs. shootie vs. zerker melee. Thoughts?

** edited to correct the Rhino oversight.

I'd give rhino to the zerkers, drop the plasmas , and take a combi flamer on the sarg to get the most out of jumping out of it before charging next turn.

I didn't think cultist could have a rhino.

I like the second list a lot better. Try to get the CC cultist in there from the vengeance as well so they can be kharns extra wounds lol
