I'm going to have to see how it plays - it's a little heavy on the meltagun front, to be sure, but I'm playing with the miniatures I've got. I might swap the squad's meltaguns for flamers and/or heavy bolters if the Terminators turn out to do their work. I can also swap out the Summoned Demons for Possessed, but that's kind of a risky thing.

Your thoughts?

My FIRST thought is I like how this army will look on the field. My SECOND thought is I'd ditch the Terminators for another 2 Marine squads, but as you don't have them then the Terminators fill their role. My concern would be their speed (your "tac" squads are in vehicles, leaving the Termies to slog it across the ground.)

I like the list, but to be honest it needs the Tom seal of approval to be considered a good list; its been ages since I even opened a 40k book.

Well the Termies would Deep Strike I'm supposing, but otherwise I agree with Katzu....probibly would be better for another couple CSM squads....or at the least breaking up the termies into two units possibly.

You don't have your two basic troop choices. Although Demons count as troops, they don't count toward your minimum.

Also, if you're going to have demons then at least one of your squads needs to have some kind of icon, either personal icons or one of the Chaos icons, otherwise you won't be able to summon the demons (demons can't come in from reserve if there's no icon on the board). I give all my squads personal icons so I can be sure to bring out my demons (as well as all other deep strikers) where I need them.

The two Chaos Space Marine squads arent Troops choices?

[Katzu]

Its a bit hard to read because unlike teh other entries they aren't separated, but he has 2 10-man CSM squads.

[skeletontom]

Yeah you're right I missed the two chaos marine squads. Somebody still needs a Chaos icon or personal icons though or you won't be able to bring the demons out.
