Really for a casual environment since you cant polish the turd known as the CSM dex, but I wanted to take advantage of the traitors hate formations to at least not lose on setup. Lord goes with the spawn and the warpsmith goes with the bersekers in the land raider. Obviously will suffer badly to alpha strike armies but should be a decent all rounder. Let me know what you think.

AoBF on a Warpsmith makes him WS3 and given that he only has 2 wounds to start with, giving him something that will deal an automatic wound 1/6th of the time might not be the best plan. I'd give him his AoDG and leave it at that, he's already got quite a few attacks with his power axe, but he's mainly there as a tax and to fix the land raider if it gets immobilised.

Speaking of, with the 45 Points you'd save on the warpsmith, you could take a dozerblade on the land raider (insurance on immobilising yourself) and extra armour (cause a warpsmith can't fix stunned and not moving is bad) and daemonic possession on the vindicator (so you've got a reasonable chance at still firing your blast weapon if you get penned, shaking off crew shaken / stunned). That leaves you 15 points for whatever, I'd suggest blight grenades and a gift on the nurgle lord.

id find the points to put deamonheart on your lord. nothing like a 2+ and IWND!

Aren't warpsmiths "bulky"?? Too many bodies in that Landraider.

I'm away from my books at the moment, but I'm fairly sure that they aren't and a quick check on battlescribe (for what that's worth) backs me up.

They've got warpmetal armour, not Terminator armour.

Also, blight grenades on a Nurgle lord are near mandatory IMO.
