The idea of this list is very straight forward. Kharn with one unit of berzekers, Dark Apostle and Exalted Champion with another unit, and the Chaos Lord with the final unit all in Rhinos. The Prince would follow The Predator if I chose to move it up as well/Kharn's unit as it's not a great idea to be within 1" of Kharn for the Rerolls. The Oblits would be in reserve and the two units of shooty cultists would just sit on back objectives with the Havocs. The large Cultist blob would advance up the field and either grab an objective, or spend 2 CP for tide of the traitor to redploy them at starting strength to charge something I needed tied up. The list gives me in total 14 CP to work with so I could use a some of the expensive stratagems (IE fight another time for 3) if I need to. Let me know what you guys think!

I like it. I dunno about the combi-meltas on the Rhinos, I feel that it's a lot of points that might get more benefit as Havoc Launchers instead, as they're cheaper and good for clearing screening units - I mean your berzerkers will delete anything they charge into no worries, but your issue is getting the right charges off - no point using berzerkers to slaughter the screen only to get marooned in no-mans land and shot off the board next turn. I get that the combi-meltas are there for some ant-tank, but it's not really value for points. Perhaps consider power fists on the berzerker champions instead? Would you be inclined to keep the Chaos Lord back with the predator/havocs to give them the re-rolls?

I really only take combi meltas because I will run my rhinos straight into their front line to hopefully deal with transports or strip off a few wounds before they eat overwatch for the rest of my army. As far as screens go, depending what they use, I could counter with cultists. It's not ideal but tide of traitors turn 1 to deep strike them to charge the screens so turn 2 they don't slow down berzerkers. The lord I wasn't sure if I wanted him to stay back for rerolls or run with the last unit of berzerkers.

Fair enough, YMMV. I wish you all the best with the combi-meltas, I really love the idea of them, I hope you get some good results with them. You might actually catch a few enemies off guard with them by getting some good damage rolls to soften up vehicles before your charge. You're right about the Cultists, I do like a good giant blob of Cultists throwing many, many dice. Especially with the World Eaters Legion Trait benefits.
