Default CSM - 1500 list

Tested this list out and I beat necrons thanks to deepstriking those 2 terminator squads in the nick of time and using lash to bring heavy destroyers into assault range.

However I feel not so confident about the list, the theme i want is a nurgle/slaanesh cooperation so what do you guys think I could use or do without here?

Notice i've used their preferred numbers of 7 and 8 in the squad sizes to fit the theme. except for the havocs lol no point giving more marines to that unit if they are there to do their thing and die or something.

HQ:
1 Daemon Prince
Wings; Mark of Nurgle; Nurgle's Rot (x1)
1 Chaos Terminator Sorceror
Lash of Submission; Personal Icon; Mark of Slaanesh

Elite:
8 Terminators
Power Weapon (x8); Twin Linked Bolter (x7); Heavy Flamer (x1); Icon of Slaanesh; Mark of Slaanesh

7 Terminators
Power Weapon (x7); Twin Linked Bolter (x6); Heavy Flamer (x1); Icon of Nurgle; Mark of Nurgle

Troops:
8 Chaos Space Marines
Meltagun (x1)

7 Plague Marines
Meltagun; Personal Icon; Mark of Nurgle

Heavy Support:
1 Land Raider

5 Havocs
Heavy Bolter (x4); Chaos Glory


Total Roster Cost: 1496

This list looks low on antitank other than the land raider. I think it needs less of the terminators. I think this list is a little terminator heavy and could have the problem of all of the icons being wiped out. I do not really see the point of a rot prince. I think this list needs more troops because 15 models is not really going to cut it well. Even if 7 are plague marines they can still be taken down really easily by plasma guns. This list seems to be geared against hordes and that is OK if your normal opponents are hordes. Yet for this list You may plan on putting the chaos space marines inside the land raider not the plagues because the plagues can live outside better. I think oyu spent to many points on hqs though.

for anti-tank i'm using the melta guns, the prince and the land raider. leaving the regular marines in the landraider with the sorcerer attached is a pretty good idea didn't think of that one.

originally i had the havoks start in the raider with the sorcerer in it as well to try and reposition them to a more convenient location in my 1st turn.

and i gave nurgle's rot because i just wanted to test it out and see how good it is. it's actually not so bad when you have a lot of stuff near you, flying really helps alot in spreading the plague.

I thought the sacred number of Slaanesh was 6 and 8 was Khorne? It's just the noise marines that come in packs of 8

oh wtf you are right, i checked the gw to see how the models came and noise marines came in 8s and berserkers came in packs of 12 so I figured it was 6. Thanks for pointing that out bro.
