Hi guys! I'm pretty new to the hobby and i'm going to attend a campaign/league (i'm not sure what to call it, so i'll just call it league). I've played few games on Vassal40k but this event will be my first wargaming experience on a real table.

Here's my list:

HQ (145pts)____
Sorcerer : 2x Additional Mastery Level , Bike, Spell familiar

Troops (255pts)____
Chaos Cultists

Chaos Space Marines
9x CSM, 2x Plasma Gun
Chaos Rhino

Fast Attack (108pts)____
Chaos Bikers
2x Chaos Biker, MoN, 2x Meltagun

Heavy Support (175pts)____
Forgefiend
Hades Autocannon

Total 683: 17 pts free

The plan is sorcerer, hopefully gets invisibility, joins bikers and goes hunting. Forgefiend pops light vehicles and fliers, and provide a light dakka with its BS3 with the help of dice god. Cultists lay down and chill on an objective. CSM troops fill every other role remaining.

This is just a all round concept list for my red corsairs army. I'm going to know which codex i'll be fighting against so i can modify it.

So here's what i have:
CSM Battleforce(the one with possessed marines),
Dark Vengeance set ( only chaos ),
a magnetized forgefiend/maulerfiend,
a magnetized sorcerer ( head and power sword wielding arm)
3 additional bikers, (magnetizing now)
and 3 additional CSMs i got to paint before starting the hobby.

I'm magnetizing 10 of my csm troops now so that i can swap between ccw or bolters. I ordered Huron Blackhearth and hopefully will arrive before my second match.

There are 20 players ( including me) and every race/army there is excluding blood angels. I'm going to fight against every one of them. Both players will get additional 50 pts to spend on their army after each battle. I will be penalized for my unpainted army with proxies for each match ( -1 victory point). I'll probably run out of units to field after 10th game.

I want this army to be fun and fluffy but also competitive. Is this army list any good? What will be my worst match-ups? Which units do i need?

Thanks for help

Not much to add but I like the list... Only question I would ask from a fluffy perspective is do the Red Corsairs usually employ daemon engines? Especially in such a small force...

Well, no they don't. But this one is a "gift" from Word Bearers. RCs salvaged it from a Word Bearers ship which was drifting on the edge of Maelstrom and my HQ sorcerer, whom i haven't named yet, managed to control the beast.

give cultists guns with the extra 17 pts, that should by you a shotgun, flamer and full auto guns for 10 men, and all those models are in the DV set, so no proxy penalty.
