the over all plan is to move all my vehicles up. With the dp hiding behind the landraider , while the nose marines hold an objective, i am a little iffy on the termies, but i think they will deepstrike by my icon in my rino, and join up with the mechinised wave of doom, oblits will do a similar thing, i dont think i will be able to defend very well though, please comment/criticize

Seems solid, definately a well rounded list, strong slaanesh theme.

Hope it works well at the tournament.

thanks everyone,i have never tried deep striking 5 temies before, i think since they cant assault on the turn they come in wont they be blown to bits the second they drop down, anyone else used this strategy, and could give me some tips on how to work it better?

also i know i will be fighting nids, so how do i adopt a defensive posture with a mechanized army, can it be done?
Erwin Rommel says so but that was ww2 and this is 40k, so again i ask can it be done?

So. I've played multiple incarnations of this list, and I think it isn't very strong. The anti-vehicle ability is extremely limited.

Mark of Slaanesh on your tac squads is silly, they shouldn't be getting into assaults. If they do, going a wee bit faster isn't going to help them a whole lot. They should also be consistent, I don't much understand their special weapon choices.

5 noise marines holding an objective... ain't gonna last long. Both because of what they are and how little there are of them. If you want something to sit on an objective, go with plague marines. T5, 3+ save, and FNP is god damn annoying; the shooting you lose is minimal.

Chaos terminators suck. Don't field them - you saw them get stomped by optimus prime, almost by himself. lol Deep striking terminators is also extremely risky, since for one turn (or more) they sit on their ass with a big IGNORE ME or SHOOT ME sign. At best, they'll mess with target priority a bit or eat a unit of bubblewrap and then die.

The Land Raider having a dozer blade is silly. Yes it's annoying when you get immobilized in terrain, but it doesn't happen a whole lot and is entirely avoidable. If you are using the Land Raider to deliver some close combat troops, giving Extra Armour is a good idea so your opponent HAS to immobilize it or destroy it in order to stop it from delivering troops.

One land raider by itself at this level is kinda meh. I dunno about 1 850 but at 2 000 two are almost a requirement if you want to run raiders. I would assume almost the same. lol

everytime someone has deep struck termies against me not a one makes it to the following turn i template the heck out of that tightly packed group haha but then again i play guard other armies it might work against

I think the point you missed HC is that it's a Slaanesh themed army, yes it's way more powerful to lean to mixing and matching chaos marks however if you have a theme for an army that you enjoy then taking something out of theme is kinda like leaning in something sticky, it just doesn't feel right. From playing Necrons, even a game you lose can be fun.

I got that, but I think an army shouldn't have a gimmicky theme.

Fair enough, but take a look at the last 20 years of 40k, gimmicky themes are the shizzle. heck, the 4th ed. codex had gimmicky theme entries! I've noticed new players to 5th have gone with the "unit selection for wins" over "feel, look, and fluff". Not illegal or nasty, just boring to play. "oh look, another chaos mix army with slaanesh princes, nurgle and khorne troops, and oblits, how original.

Ben, keep that theme! Its what the cool kids are doing
