Ok, instead of digging through the old thread, I decided to make a completely new one. That other thread got really off-topic (my fault of course).
After some play-testing, brain-storming, and suggestions, I feel I have my 1,500 point army down. It's not perfect, but I don't want it to be. I have some oddities, but I'm chalking some of it up to fluff. It's fairly shooty, with a daring Prince to back it up with a back-hand.
HQ
Daemon Prince Haekaule
Mark of Undivided, Dark Blade, Bolt Pistol and Frags. Infiltrate and Furious Charge.
Daemonic: Aura, Speed, Strength and Resilience. (162)
[Already in the process of writing his fluff...I'm trying to create an alliance with Iron Warriors!]
ELITE
3x Obliterators. (210)
TROOPS
Fire Junkies: 10 CSM, Mark of Undivided, Infiltrate, Furious Charge. CCW/BPs, Frags. 2x Flamethrower. Champion w/ Power Fist, Bolt Pistol and Daemonic Visage. (242)
The False Cures: 9 CSM, Mark of Undivided, Infiltrate, Counter-Attack, Bolters. 2x Plasma Gun. Champion w/ Power Fist and Bolt Pistol. (212)

Shield-Breakers: 5 CSM, Mark of Undivided, Infiltrate, Tank Hunting, 2x Meltagun. (115)

1,500 points even.
I like the fact I've stayed away from Daemons for my army, and plan to keep it that way. But I still have the issue of trying to decide how to go from that to 2,000.
In the debate of - Bikes vs Raptors, I think the Bike's invuln edged out the latter for me.
But in a 2,000pt army I mainly want to address my weak-points. If I am reading/seeing it correctly, I lack horde-control and CC-focused defense.
I own a Defiler, all painted up and everything, and I love it. It is always my strongest shooter whenever I fielded him before, and with the Battle Cannon, I can take out quite a few models. Would that be a good choice for that final spot in the Heavy? A small squad of Bikes for some FA...or even some Termies.
What do you guys think?
(btw, a slightly smaller 1,000pt version of this list just roasted a Horde/Scream 'Nid army. After 5 turns, he was wiped out, and I had 700+ pts left on the field. That confused me a bit cuz I thought I was low on horde-killing...but my Lord managed to kill a squad of Hormas, and 2 Tyrants all on his own)
