A. If you're going to take a Daemon Prince, Get wings.
B. Plasma Pistols aren't worth 15 points

If they're not shooting at your prince, they're shooting at marines. Which, isn't necessarily all that great, but not bad.

I'd say run 7 man squads in rhinos instead of 10 mans on foot. you'd save 8 pts, enough for a combi-bolter on both the squad champion that you're not planning on charging with and an extra combi-bolter on the rhino. (you're firing snap shots, but they're twin-linked) A Plasma gun has to roll a 4 or better 3 times (1 if your opponent is really lucky) just to start shooting at your marines, instead of a 2 or better and you're already losing marines.

My comment about plasma pistols was simply based on my experience with them. They don't bring home the same bang for the buck as a plasma gun that gets 2 shots at close range. The pistols have either failed to kill, or killed and been the reason for a failed charge. Maybe just my luck. I'd just as soon take a plasmagun and wait for my rhino to be blown up before moving out to charge. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5200005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5200005.page GMT 500 Point Chaos Space Marines
Plasma gun if you are shooty.

What you could do instead of the plasma pistol in the second unit is to go for a melta gun on one of the CSM and either a flamer on an other or give the champion meltabombs. Meltagun for better anti-vehicle and instant death (okay you lose some CC attacks) over the p.pistol.

The problem with demon princes without wings is the model is awesome. The wings which come with it are too large and make it look a little odd.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5200076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5200076.page GMT 500 Point Chaos Space Marines

With the DP, you are separate and hard to hit. Do they shoot the flyer and only hit on 6s? or do they try and pop a tank? They have more options there. Without dedicated Anti-air (which is probably noone at this point value) your warlord might be too hard to hit and I'll shoot at the tanks. Leaving the DP to do as he pleases.

More options generally means a better chance for what you want to happen happening. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5207156.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5207156.page GMT 500 Point Chaos Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5208539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5208539.page GMT Re:500 Point Chaos Space Marines HQ over 100 points in a game this size, the kind of list I would run here is

HQ
Chaos Sorcerer - 60pts

Troops
10 man Cultist Squad - 50pts

6 Man CSM Squad - 88pts

Fast Attack
Heldrake w/ Baleflamer - 170

Heavy Support
Havocs w/ 2 x Autocannons 2x Missile Launchers - 125

Then you should be able to take out most infantry, you have a very strong Flyer (5+ Daemon Save as well as It will not die). Cultists should stay in cover, as for the CSM squad and sorcerer (I would recommend taking Biomancy on the sorcerer), stick them together and see what you can do with them (Also, you have a spare 7 points, feel free to spend them)! However, this does seem to be very different to the kind of list you seem to want to go for... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5209141.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5209141.page GMT Re:500 Point Chaos Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5210027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5210027.page GMT 500 Point Chaos Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5211042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/502084/5211042.page GMT
