It feels light on dudes, but each squad will hit like a brick and has much added survivability, since they will be in the opponent's deployment zone (most likely) and thus getting the increased FNP/IWND rolls. The Butchers with their 2W and 5+ FNP seem kinda rude. They throw a lot of attacks and should just erase units. Kharn and Gahlan both lead fat Despoiler Squads that can and will put the hurt down. Each of them is at a 4+ FNP thanks to the Path and their Apothecaries. The Inductii are at +1S and have a 5+ FNP in the enemy deployment zone and can "pop their feat" and cause a real hurting, throwing down something like 5 attacks per model (1 + 1 + 2 + 1.... Clue reference...? Anyone?). Also, the jinking Kharybdis will light up stuff before dropping their payload and then going off to hunt flyers with their absurd amount of S6 shots. The afterthought Javelins will probably Outflank to get some good shooting on enemy armor with their anti-tank payload. That is one area the list lacks a bit beyond the odd lucky Power Fist, so any time I see some sort of armor that just must die, I will point Chainfists at it and hope for the best.

I wanted to go nasty, but still be damn fluffy. Thoughts?

Looks like a really fun list. It will be an uphill battle against some lists especially if you face a knight or two, but definitely fluffy and fun which is the point. Still thinking how to counter it with my NL.
