Hi everyone. I'm trying something different from what is commonly seen with CSM list. Note that this is for a no-flyer game.

Sorcerer : Sigil of Corruption, MoN
Total: 100

Chaos Space Marines x10 : Plasma Gun x2, MoN
Total : 200

Chaos Space Marines x10 : Flamer x2, MoN
Total : 180

Chaos Space Marines x10 : Meltagun x2, MoN
Total : 190

Mutilator x3 : MoT
Total: 189

Chaos Spawn x4 : MoN
Total: 138

Total: 997 / 1000

If you face any long-range, ignore cover shooting you're gonna struggle.
Personally I would drop the Mutilators, and instead add Huron to get at least one of your units closer. It would also free up enough points to take the 2+ iwnd armour from the Crimson Slaughter supplement on your sorcerer

What size tabletop you playing on and what codex are you going up against?

I think this list will struggle against any army with any mobility. Apart from the spawn everything is a bit slow. Even deep striking your mutilators isn't as big a threat as it could be. Are you choosing the units for any particular reason? Fluff? Cool models etc?

If you just want a more optimised list if be tempted to trade mutilators for oblits. Or even havocs if you want to stay infantry. I'd also be tempted to make your hq mounted, either a bike or if it's a lord- a juggernaut etc. This way he can run with the spawn and do a little more damage than they will alone. Troops are solid but a little short ranged. Which is ok if you have some ranged shooting and mobility elsewhere- which I think this list is lacking at the moment.

Hope that helps!
