Hey all, I am working on a Black Legion Speartip formation, and I was wondering about a few things. The core of the warband can either be a Black Legion Warband or a regular Chaos Warband. The Black Legion can re-roll to hit and to wound rolls of 1 if another BL unit completely destroyed an enemy unit that turn, so could be good against MSU armies or mech. The Chaos Warband gets ObSec instead of that. For reference my list is

Lord, Lv3 Sorc, 3 Termies DS in turn 2, Lord has a 3++
Lord, 5 Raptors, PF/LC, Khorne marks and icon, dimensional key, DS and charge turn 1 to activate key
3 other Raptor Squads-1 dual Melta, 2 Dual Flamers+MeltaBombs
3 other Termie Squads- all with 3 combi-meltas
2 CSM squads with Rhinos and Havoc Launchers
5 Havocs with 4 Autocannons
Aegis with Comms

Tactical decisions:
1) Would you take ObSec on the CSM, Havocs, 1 Raptor unit, Lord and retinue, or lose that for the BL re-rolls? Assume the Dimensional Key goes off turn one, and all reserves come in turn 2 on re-rollable 4+ with no scatter.

2) Would you be afraid of flyers? Ways to deal with? Can ignore?

3) if Lord in unit of Terminators is a 2+3++, should by Sorceror take a Sigil? He has terminator armor already, and its 25pts to improve a save he may not use. Could take a power weapon on those charging from DS raptors or a special weapon for the CSM.

4) Should I drop the terminator annihilation force and sorceror for an Iron Warriors Daemon Prince with 2+4++ re-roll ones and Lvl 3 plus 2 ObSec Oblits with FNP 6+ and Tank Hunter? In other words: BL terminator annihilation force with lvl 3 Sorceror and 3 meltacide squads, or Iron Warriors DP with 2 oblits and 25 pts to spend
