CSM-Khorne Berzerkers Armylist.; 1750 pts. Tournament Armylist

Hello! I was wondering if any of you battlescarred veterans have anything helpful to say about my 1750pts Khorne Berzerker Chaos Space Marine Armylist.

I'm planning on using it in a tournament at a game convention (SSK) in Stockholm (Sweden). I have to send in the armylist before the end of the month, and it has to be moderately balanced. The less balanced the armylist is, the more penalties you get, (which, of course isn't very good in a tournament you hope(or are trying) to win). So please hardened veterans of the Ammo Bunker, help me with your great experience and knowledge in wargaming, tactics and armybuilding. I need some guidance.

Anyway, here it is:
-------------------------------------------------------------

Chaos Space Marines
"Khârn's World Eaters"

HQ 1: Khârn The Betrayer 165p

HQ 2: Daemon Prince 140p
Wings, Mark of Khorne

Troops 1: Berzerker Squad 259p
8+1 Khorne Berzerkers
2 Plasma Pistols, Skull Champion (Power Fist, Bolt Pistol)
Rhino (Extra Armour) 50p

Troops 2: Berzerker Squad 280p
9+1 Khorne Berzerkers
2 Plasma Pistols, Skull Champ. (Power Fist, Bolt Pistol)
Rhino (Extra Armour) 50p

Troops 3: Berzerker Squad 260p
9+1 Khorne Berzerkers
1 Plasma Pistol Skull Champ. (Power Weapon, Bolt Pistol, Melta Bombs)
Rhino 35p

Heavy Support 1: Chaos Predator 165p
Twin-Linked Lascannon, 2 side sponson Lascannons

Heavy Support 2: Chaos Land Raider 245p
Daemonic Possession, Dozer Blade

Summoned Daemons 1: Summoned Greater Daemon 100p

Total: 1749p



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for all advise!

EDIT: Got Khârn in the army, and the Skull Champions gave their Plasma Pistols to some other (unlucky) Berzerkers.
MOST RECENT EDIT: Got daemonic possession for LR after all ^^ Also put a dozer blade on it. The 5 spare points went on Melta Bombs for a Skull Champion.

//Khârn, The Betrayer

Hey there, this isn't advice on the list exactly, but posting the individual points values of the wargear items puts us on thin ice with GW's IP standards. Please edit out the individual values so that it looks like this:

Chaos Lord (145)
+Mark of Khorne
+Daemon Weapon
+ Meltabombs

In my mind it also makes it easier to read. Thanks.

Oh I was not aware of that. Hope GW can ever forgive me :(

I just wrote the points for my own note. I'll see into it immediately :)

And the main reason that some of the dudes got meltabombs was that I got about 10-15 points left over when I was done with the list. Didn't really know what to do with them, so I spent them on some anti-armour.

Looks great, except for the Chaos Lord. I would change him to Kharn the Betrayer. For more points, you have a much nastier character, even if he can be a little unstable at times... :D

I think taking away plasma pistols in exchange for additional berzerkers seems a bit wrong. That would mean they wouldn't be able to ride their fancy transport any more.
I too would suggest exchanging the lord for kharn (the SSK tournament does allow named characters :) )
And if I were you I'd replace the Havoc launcher on the LR for daemonic possession.

see you there ;)

I think that Brambleten meant that I should take the Plasma Pistols from the Skull Champions and put them on the berzerkers so that the Champions don't suffer the risk of melting. Good idea :) I've seen my Champions melt before. It ain't funny.

Thanks a lot for the help :)

I'll see if I can put Khârn himself in there. But hey, if Special Characters is allowed, wouldn't that mean that the other armies will contain an unknown number of Marneus Calgars, Dantes, Epidemiuses, Abaddons, Nightbringers, Ghazghkulls, etc? Sounds scary enough...

EDIT: And yeah, one more thing. The Land Raider can fire all the guns if it remains stationary, right? In that case, I would use it as a support vehicle instead of a transport, and so I think it's better to hit on 3+ than taking to Daemonic Possession. It will be of good use, helping the Predator shoot enemy tanks and other big stuff. 5 Lascannons are better than 3.

Now I've made a few minor changes. I hope this list will work, because this is what I'll use at the tournament.
