I considered dropping one Bloodletter and the Cultist's shotgun to put a Havoc launcher on one Rhino, but decided that Havoc launchers aren't that good for 12 points. The shotgun is only there because I had 2 points left, so why not? I also considered leaving the cultists out entirely and putting a few more dogs and/or Bloodletters in, but decided to run the cultists as backfield objective holders and/or an additional Blood Tithe point. I realize that Chaos Marines are not that great, but I've had them do some good work for me, plus the extra meltaguns are nice.

Whoops... there doesn't seem to be anything here.

It serves to give him a bonus for 2 weapons since both it and the Axe of Khorne are specialist, and also gives him a high strength weapon for taking on walkers/MC's.

I would recommend exchanging the axe of khorne for the axe of rhuin, for 30 extra pts you get a bloodthirster when he ends up dying, I would also never consider the blood-forged armour on a chaos lord as he gets the 3+ ArSv on his own, 50pts for eternal warrior and FnP is just too expensive.

I would also recommend a replacement of the cultist which are much too expensive as mark of khorne for some single unit chaos spawn, they are faster tougher and can hold objectives and generate bloodtithe points
