Balanced/Versatile CSM List

Hi there, fellow followers of the blood god!

I am new to the forum and I am starting this hobby again after 8 years.

The idea is to create a very balanced army it does not realy have to win all matches or anything but I'd like it to be as versatile and balanced as possible.

I think I made a good start with this list and made it myself and with the help of other list that are already posted. I am still doubting what troops to pick but I think khorne and plague marines do well with the csm and thus makes them a bit balanced in terms of pressure and defense. Of course correct me if I am wrong!

Any help and/or word of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ohh and not to forget, death to the false emperor!

HQ
Not sure what to put here yet to be honest, maybe an DP and an GD. I would really like some advice here.

TROOPS
(8) Berserkers 180
Aspiring Champion
Rhino w/ Extra Armour

(8) Plague Marines 180
Aspiring Champion
Rhino w/ Extra Armour

(10) Chaos Space Marines 218
Aspiring Champion
Missile Launcher
Rhino w/ Extra Armour

(10) Chaos Space Marines 218
Aspiring Champion
Missile Launcher
Rhino w/ Extra Armour

ELITE
2 Obliterators - 150

Chaos Dreadnought | 2 x DCCW - 100

5 Chosen | 4 x Meltaguns - 165

HEAVY
Defiler | 3 x DCCW, Heavy Flamer - 150

Defiler | 3 x DCCW, Heavy Flamer - 150

That would be a total of 1861 points depending on what HQ's I'd take.

Again any help is appreciated! :grin:

I just wanna speak up for the dreadies, they are awesome sauce, the forgeworld models are sweet and if you take dccw and EA they do incredibly well! I try and run 2 dreads now, they work two fold, people pour shots into them hoping to destroy them, which leaves the zerker filled rhinos alone! plus I have found my dreadies quite survivable! Don't forget they have smoke which is tres useful!
Back to the list!
DP wings MofN and WT is a def!

Troop choices I would do as Inigo said although I'd drop the nilla CSM squad for another zerker or PM!

I'd take two dreads with HF and EA dccw
2x2 Oblits

Then a couple of defilers maybe if your set on them! (although I'm not convinced with them)

If you feel like throwing another SC in there kharn is quality!
