So depending on what you are facing, you choose what to put into the rhinos, the rest is footslogging.

The cultists are there for area denial for deepstriking, and/or hold an objective

The heldrake is mostly disturbance. I was doubting on taking even more zerkers instead...

.

Testplayed this list yesterday, and won. I only lost the heldrake and 1 unit of 5 zerkers. It did a lot better then my lists with maulerfiends, helbrutes etc. where a mauler fiend or helbrute costs +- 160 pts , the same amount of berzerkers has a way better damage output.
Played vs marines,
He had a stormhawk filled with apothecary, captain, 5 assault terminators and a dreadnought, 2x 5 devastators, 1 with lascanons, 1 with heavy bolters
5 assault marines with jetpacks, some scouts and he had a tank with battle canons (not sure what it is called).

They were overrun turn 3, turn 2 I was controlling 60% of the board, by the end of turn 3 80%.

For fluffy games this looks like fun, just like every other Berzerker spam list.

But unless the other player takes an equally fluffy list you most likely won't win often. Berzerkers can't be the majority in your army, they aren't well rounded enough to take on everything. They kill infantry and tanks if you give the champ a power fist, but as soon as you start going against people with bubblewrap and who understand positioning and spreading out and keeping multiple ranks of fire, your list will fall apart.

yeah, I know... But I don't have the stuff that can fix that (yet) and seeing the real competitive lists out there, there is just no way for world eaters to go head to head with those lists.

I am going to add a knight or Kytan next, but my army took some real blows as i come from kdk and all the good stuff (like almost all of my khorne daemons and maulerfiends, soulgrinders) are quite underwhelming for there cost now

I won a local tournament with this list yesterday.

It was a fun tournament so no real heavy tournament lists like scions, 3knights+ magnus etc....

First I faced a deathguard player, he was new to wargaming and we had a lot of fun but he made some beginner mistakes early in the game (like not using his poxwalkers as a meatshield) so it became an easy win.

Lucked out vs genestealers (who failed ALL there cult ambush rolls and had to deploy on random board edges, I got to chose most, giving me alpha strike)

Vs orks I learned that orks have ridiculous options and are made way to cheap and powerful vs world eaters. Berzerkers are worth nothing going up against that. In the end I won on pts, due to a lucky weirdboy assasination with my heldrake turn 1, and it tying up his 30 shoota boyz and 30 boyz, (it survived the turn with 4 wounds) disrupting his logisitics for a turn. but had the game lasted one more turn I would have been wiped.
