Very fluffy, potentially destructive list. I think undivided does better at 1850 because it's hard to be diverse and still cover all the bases, but this looks good too.

I dig your dreadnaughts. The chaos dreadnaught with possession and plasma cannon is my favorite dread of all time.

PS you will be happy to hear that your autocannon squad only costs 199. My favorite havoc configuration, so I know the points for that one off the top of my head. Buy your DP a pair of lightning claws.

Are you sure? I took 2 veteran skills, which brought my total from 199 to 220.

over all its a pretty good list but there are 2 things id change

1extra armour on a rhino is almost compulsory
2i read somwhere on the GW uk website that with demons its better to go with larger numbered packs than favoured numbers especially since the +1 to summoning only works with cult armies (eg death guard)

i dont know how to fit those in, maybe less bloodletters or demonettes?

hope this helps

Good point. Let me see if I can squeeze some points together.

Bloodletters: I've had good success with 8 letters. They pretty much dominate in c.c.. Anymore would probably be overkill

Daemonettes: You suggestions definitely applies here. For a general purpose squad, daemonettes function better with 8 (instead of the usual 6). Again, however, I simply don't have the points. These girls are mainly for fluff, but they can still cause havoc in a termi squad, or to a vehicle, or simply for reinforcing a c.c. marine squad.

Thanks for the suggestions
