I would say use Plague Marines rather than normal CSM...

I looked at plague marines but I'm not sure about them they seem costly what would you recommend

They have more staying power then CSM because of feel no pain!

That's somewhat why my list incorporated rhinos for more mobility and for protection for my CSM. All the options that I looked at with plague marines I didn't think would work well. So if you have any ideas of a list please comment on it

Have you tried using plague marines? The tend to outperform regualr CSM in almost all areas, despite their increased cost. They are very hard to kill with T5, FNP and defensive grenades. What really makes them worth it is their fearless ness. It is too easy to get unlucky with a morale test and see your CSM run off the board, particualrly in combat when you get negative modifiers. Plague marines dont have to worry about this.

I have looked into a list but because right now I only have 8 plague marines it is going to have to be mixed.

Daemon Prince
Wings
MoS
Lash 155pts

CSM x6 145pts
MeltaGun <------_______ One or other not both
IoCG <------
Rhino

Plague Marines x7
Meltagun
Rhino 206pts

496pts with decision above

All you need is one squad of 8.

Here is my suggested list:

HQ
Lash Prince

Troops
Plague Marines x8 w/ meltagun

Heavy Support
Vindicator w/ Daemonic Possession

The rhino is no entirely necessary at 1000pts. Just have your tau partner take out anti-MEQ stuff and you should be able to march across the field at will!

Thanks for the suggestions andI will probably add wings on the prince with the left over points but won't move him to far a head and i'll add a flamer in the plague squad too

Thanks for the suggestions

I would actually change the Daemon Prince to a Sorcerer with wings if thats what you want to do. The reason for this is that it can stay with the plague marines (and not be singled out) or if you need to make a longer move at the end of a game to be able to move a unit of an objective then you can. You can even add a rhino if you drop one plague marine.

New list:
HQ
Sorcerer w/ MOS, LOS, Wings

Troops
Plague Marines x7 w/ meltagun, Rhino

Heavy Support
Vindicator w/ Daemonic Possession

Re:2v2 White Dwark rules list Tau+CSM

A problem with that list is I don't have a sorcerer
But I will probably use the list you posted earlier with some changes

HQ
Winged Lash Prince

Troops
Plague Marines x8 w/ meltagun

Heavy Support
Defiler w/R. autocan + CCW

Defiler over the vindicator for more mobility and charging with Plague Marines

That will work I'm more of a vindicator man myself but if it works for you then go for it. Glad I could help!
