I play Dark Eldar and CSM, and while they don't play nice together in the fluff I would like to start taking different kinds of armies. Of the two armies I feel that the parts that could ally best are the Haemonculus Covens and the Worshipers of Nurgle. This list is supposed to be somewhat thematic so I am taking some stuff for the fluff and not efficiency, but regardless, let me know what you think.

1850pts

CSM-CAD

HQ
Lord
-Nurgle, Sigil, L-Claw, P-Fist, Palanquin
Allied - Haemonculus
-Webway Portal, Liquefier Gun, Scissorhands

TROOPS
10 Plague Marines
-2x Melta Gun, P-fist, Rhino w/ Havoc Launcher
35 Cultists
-3x Flamer
Allied - 5 Wracks
-Champion, 2x sniper rifles, venom w/ 2x splinter cannon


ELITE
1 Mutilator
-Nurgle
1 Mutilator
-Nurgle
Allied - 4 Grotesque
-Champion, Liquifier Gun, Raider w/ Night Shields

FAST ATTACK
5 Spawn
-Nurgle
5 Spawn
-Nurgle


HEAVY SUPPORT
Talos Pain Engine
-Shred


1814 pts.

The Wracks, Grotesques w/ Haemonculus, and Mutilators will deep strike. The Chaos Lord will go with the cultist blob.

I was thinking of adding the anti-psycher item to the Heamonculus. Let me know what you all think. Where could I add some points/shave some off.

Would this be fun to play?

Would this be fun to play against?

instead of a normal ally detacment you cold take a grotesquerie whic is:
Urien/Haemi
2x Grotesques units

After warlord traits roll on the following table All units of Grots gain the corresponding result:

1 +1 Strength
2 +1 T
3 Fleet
4 Shred
5 Rage
6 FnP 4+


then a fast nurgle lord on bikes, escorted by 5 spawns, 5 more spawns, 2 units of plague marines on rhino w/ 2 meltaguns and meltabombs...
So:

Haemunculus
webwayportal
105

6 Grotesques
210

5 grotesques
raider w/ ethersails
235

(550)

Nurgle Lord
bike
sigil of corr.
powerfist
lightingn claw
(165)

5 Nurgle Spawns
(180)

5 Nurgle Spawns
(180)

5 Plague marines
2 meltaguns
meltabombs
rhino
(180)

5 Plague marines
2 meltaguns
meltabombs
rhino
(180)

1435 pts, you could still add some long range fire power or extra melee punch. I'd take

2 Forgefiends (because pinning is great before you assault)
(350)

And still have 65 pts.

There's much mobility here and much more punch, imo.

Your changes make a lot of sense. The only thing is that I have converted a Lord on Palanquin and I'm eager to use him. Aside from a Land Raider, do see any viable option for getting him into combat? I also don't have 2 forgefiends, so the Land Raider might be viable instead.

 

[neferhet]

the landraider is never a viable option
you spend 230 pts to get one single charcter in melee...
No forgefiends, so landraider it is you still have points to give him some bodyguards. maybe chosens with acouple powerswords? nAnd dirge caster on the raider, of course
