I welcome oppinions but if you suggest to add something to the army please point out what to take out. I have to keep the point cost balanced.

Very fluffy build...

Troops: Give power fists to every one of your troop a.c. Even though zerkers are amazing in c.c., you want to be sure they can handle more than just basic troops. You need a way to deal with monstrous creatures, dreads, rhinos, termis, etc). Drop daemonic strength from the troop squads to garner points for the fists. You can also get additional points from reducing the number of power fists and chain fists in your termis (which you should do anyways). I touched on the reasons for this in your other thread, concerning your terminator point cost.

Side note: Why don't you use bloodletters? These pups are one of the few units that are actually better on the table than they appear on paper, especially against 3+ armies (Necron in particular).

Because of the whole summonig thing. I can never get them where I need them when I want them there.

I see, but you know, I rarely loose letters to the summoning aspect- i.e., a bad scatter. You just have to make sure you have plenty of room, which is sometimes easier said than done.

Critical math error on my part. the terminators turned out to be 419 points. I droped the Heavy Flamers and regretably the Lightning Claws. I've now got about 14 points to play with. Not sure where they'll go though. I'm going to edit the list. Please give your oppinions based on the new list.

*edit*

Ok, I redid the list and fixed all my math errors and did some purchassing of useless CCW on the Terminator AC to bring the 1700 point list to exactly 1700 points.

 

[Mutuus]

I've never liked the Axe of Khorne. It just isn't worth its points imo. Especially not on your terminator champion. On your terminator champ I would drop the axe of Khorne, and buy mutation. I'll take 1 guaranteed attack anyday and save myself 5 points. Same for your lieutenant.

I would also drop strength on all the champions. This will free up 30 points. I'm not a big fan of Khornate possessed because they don't seem that much better than a regular troop to me. If you plan to use them for tankbusting, keep them. If not, I would drop them in favor of 1 pred with the autocannon turret lascannon sponson configuration, and 1 with all lascannons for tank popping.

This leaves you with 16 points.

7 Berzerkers: Khornate Chain Axe
1 AC: Powerfist, Talisman of Burning Blood, Demonic Strength, Khornate Chain Axe

I would add melta bombs to this squad to even out the points and give you some more backup tankbusting.

11 points is a bit hard to put on evenly so I'd throw a ccw in there somwhere, then give a powerfisted champion daemonic mutation.
