Chaos 1500 pointer - Khorne lead

[Denzark]

Hey guys

Would welcome your thoughts. Current list:

HQ
DP, MoK, Wings
Troops
9 x berzerkers, pf, champ
8 x Plague Marines, 2 x melta, pf, champ, rhino, 2 x tl bolters
10 x CSM, MoK, 2 x melta, pf, champ, rhino, 2 x tl bolters
Heavy Support
Landraider, Combi melta, Daemonic Possession (for Berzerkers)
Defiler, 2 x CCW
Defiler, 2 x CCW.

Comes in at 1500. Tactics is 'blood for the blood god, with DP taking on dreads/ICs, defilers for MEQ battlecannon until they can assault, Land Raider to drop off berzerkers to asault then lascannon stuff - the 2 rhinos can either garrison objectives or get thr troops in close for more assault.

Now, heres the rub. Having just had Drop pod death from a first turn Ironclad and his smaller dread mate, I'm not sure I have enough on deployment zone to kill this sort of thing first turn where necessary.

So my alternate consideration is drop the landraider, get in another defiler and another daemon prince, and rhino the berzerkers (i may need to drop a plague marine or berzerker for a few points).

My constraints is that mine is a khorne led army, don't want any psychics/slaanesh/lash - although I'm not saying they ain't good.

Comments would be appreciated.

You could just go all monster-mash with 2 DPs, a GD, 3 Defilers, and Zerks in a Rhino. Not the most competitive pick, but hilarious nonetheless.

Instead of Zerks in a Rhino you could do LC Termies, they tend to make a mess of things. Instead of the CSM I prefer Plague Marines since they can survive most return fire that comes after nuking a vehicle.

I don't have my Chaos Codex in front of me, but I might reccommend something more like this:

2 x Daemon Prince (wings, Mark of Khorne)
1 x Greater Daemon
2 x squad Berzerkers w/ champ and powerfist in Rhino w/ Possession
2 x Squads of Plague Marines w/ 2x meltagun in Rhino w/ Possession
3 x Defilers w/ 2x Dreadnaught cc weapons

Maybe an all-laser Predator instead of one of the defilers? You'll have to play with the numbers, but I think trying for 4 x Rhino squads of cult marines would be best. Regular CSMs with Mark of Khorne are useless - trust me, I know.

thanks for the comment. Not sure how I'm going to fit this into 1500 without reducing squad size and i feel better to give away less kill points and have bigger squads. Must respectfully disagree on CSM MoK - my 10 man squad is getting 40 attacks on the charge after 2 spec weapon shots and is death to any other similar sized troop squad in most other armies - useless is quite harsh.

[SlavesToDarkness]

Yeah, you'll definately have to shrink it down squad-size wise. It's just my opinion that Berzerkers are FAR, FAR better than CSMs with Mark of Khorne. Let the Nurgle guys carry around the special weapons.
