Well, this is my first post of an army list here, as well as my first post, I'd like thoughts on my current 1000pt army list.

Chaos Lord 175
Jump pack, Melta Bombs, Mark of Khorne, Demon Weapon, Combi-melta

Thousand Sons 329
8 Sons
Sorcerer, Bolt of Change, Melta Bombs
Rhino, Demonic Possession

Noise Marines 260
7 Marines
Sonic Blaster, Blastmaster
Champion, Melta Bombs, Doom Siren, Sonic Blaster, Power Weapon

Raptors 235
6 raptors, Icon of Tzeentch, Flamer, Meltagun
Champion, Power Fist

I thought about a demon prince(because my lord has this bad habit of killing himself with his demon weapon.), but alas I don't have one right now, but looking back on it a demon prince seems to be the way to go.

I love my raptors to death, but I see the wisdom of swapping them for Obliterators. As for the Sons, although they take a chunk of my points, the store I play at has a power armor(Necrons, SM, CSM, DH, SoB) obsession it seems, and the Sons have proved their worth many times.

Thank you for your opinion Rot.

Oh....Reading back on that I get it now( I should really read more carefully). I kinda thought it was odd that the Sons weren't popular >.> silly me. Sorry about that Rot

I still love my raptors( as no one at my store uses them, thus they always surprise people), they fly with my Lord and ride side by side with the Sons, I use them to crack the shell of transports, while the Sons load out and gun down those silly marines.

If I did change the Lord out for a prince, what kind should I use? The other Chaos player at my store uses a Winged Lash prince.

 

[KahRyez]

Hmm, well, one of the main problems is I don't have Oblitorators to field in the first place. Thank you all for the advice.

I redid my list, keeping a similar layout but taking some of you guy's advice.

HQ- Demon Prince= 165 pts
Wings, MoN, Nurgle's Rot

Thousand Sons- 324
8 Sons
Sorcerer Bolt of Change, Melta bombs
Rhino-Ext Arm

Noise Marines- 285
5 Marines- 4 Sonic Blasters, Blastmaster
Champion- Doom Siren, Sonic Blaster, PW, melta bombs
Rhino- Ext Arm

Raptors- 225
6 raptors, 2 Melta guns, MoS
Champion, Twin Lightning claws, melta bombs

I changed the Lord out for a DP with MoN and NR, he's a lot tougher, and Nurgle's rot will help me thin out the horde armies that sometimes run at my store. The Noise marines became a lot more shooty, with the Rhino it gives them more mobility( and a buffer for the blast master). The Raptors switched out marks and gained another meltagun, which might make them a bigger target than needed, but it'll help in my tank hunting.

 

[KahRyez]

Although the demon prince should be able to handle tanks, I'd prefer to keep the raptors around for a second tank buster unit. And the second list is not something I'm going to field right away, just looking for a second option to eventually field.

Changes >.>

The DP will have warptime, and I could replace the Noise marines with this

Plague Marines- 276
6 Marines- 2 Melta guns
Champion- Power fist, Twin-link bolter
Rhino- Extra armor.

 

[KahRyez]

Well the squad is 7, so that would bump it up to eight. But the EA goes good for Rhinos that will always move flat out when they move, as the PM would most likely be riding side by side with the TS in their rhino. But I see your point.

I've slightly altered my Current Army list to add more firepower and speed to the raptors. I'd like to know what you guys think of it.

Chaos Lord- 170
Jump Pack, Combi-Melta, Daemon Weapon, Melta Bombs, MoS

Thousand Sons- 324 - squad size 9
8 Sons
Sorcerer, Bolt of Change, Melta bombs
Rhino- Extra Armor

Noise Marines- 280 - Squad Size 8
7 Marines, 5 Sonic Blasters, Blast Master
Champion, Doom Siren, Sonic Blaster, Power Weapon, Melta Bombs

Raptors- 225 - Squad size 7
6 Raptors- IoS, 2 Meltaguns
Champion, Twin Lightning Claw, Melta bombs
