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:

Assuming this is 2,000 point list:

Ok, Firstly: Obliterators are Heavy support.

Troops: Rhino's dont really benefit from having Havoc Launchers, because they're designed to help get Troops from A->B without footslogging, so you want them moving at cruising speed constantly (12"), so if you dropped those, that frees up 30 points leaving you enough points for a good HQ;

Seeing as your army isn't themed, and you don't have Terminators; the best option would be a Daemon Prince, with Warptime + wings weighing in at 155.

If your tempted by a lord, i would proberbly avoid that, because if you want something in terminator armour, as a HQ (Special Characters: Abaddon ect OR Sorceror/Lord) You will proberbly need body guards, because it'd get picked off easily on it's own.
Where as a Daemon Prince can fair on it's own easily, because it's a Hench Killing Machine.

That's just my 2cents :)
