If you've got Rhino's available for the Plague Marines, I think that'd help. 35 points and they can shoot out of the hatch.

Plague Knives are kinda good, I don't think you need to spend points on power weapons. Re-rolling failed to-wound rolls is pretty swanky, especially on a T5 3+/FNP model.

I think you under-paid for the Mark of Nurgle on your cultists? (not sure, isn't it like... 2pts / model?)

I don't think it's a requirement for the Daemon of Slaneesh to have wings, Move up, run D6+3", then next turn you could potentially be charging anyway (with fleet). Power armour is definitely required though.

Vindicators work best in pairs, I'd recommend some of the other swanky heavy support options, like obliterators, they get assault cannons now.

yea, this is mainly made from the models she owns. she just got her first vindi a couple weeks ago and its mostly painted; still needs to do her siege shield, but we ran out of black primer. and your right, cultists pay 2 pts each for MoN and its accurately counted in there. they only start at 50pts a squad.

we have a whooping 1 rhino for her atm, so i left it out for now.

thinking of breaking her champions down to remove the power weapons and remodel with plague knives in the near future, just havent gotten round to it yet since im still making my heresy-era speeder conversions.

she's got 2 oblits i made for her, but, she just doesnt care for the unit so she doesnt field them. she likes her tanks lol.

if i could've, i would have tried to fit her converted storm eagle into the list. it'll have to hold out for when she's ready to play 1750.

10 cultists = 50pts
10xMoN + 20 pts
Flamer + 5 pts
== 75 pts right?

oh shoot, ahahaha, yea, that's what army builder says, but when i told it to export into a text file, the number changed. ill change that.

List actually looks pretty decent. My big suggestion would be find 5 points to give the Nurgle lord blight grenades. That's one of the best deals in the entire CSM book. Why the Slaanesh Prince instead of a Nurgle one? Just the model you have?

The one power sword on the plague marine is almost a waste. Tim has said it before I think but you might want to give them an axe. At I3 your usually hitting last anyways.

This has not come into effect for me yet but a combi bolter on a vindicator seem like a good idea. For five points you give yourself a 50% chance to ignore weapon destroyed on your main gun.

Blight grenades are sweet.

Oh yeah.. Combi bolter on the vindi for sure.. Although it hasnt helped yet

Nurgle Daemon Prince with wings... Am I right in thinking that it would then have a 3+ jink save?

timmy; she picked slaanesh over nurgle cause first, yea, she didnt get the nurgle DP (she hates the model). the other reason being the options it gives her on that DP; nurgle DP become Shrouded, and Slow & Purposeful. slaaneshi gets Fleet, Rending, D6+3" Run moves. with her weapon of choice being the black mace, we figured the slaanesh was better suited.

gavin; her champions were made back in 5th, so this list just reflects the WYSIWYG of the models for the time being. later when i have time to help her convert them, they'll have more appropriate wargear options (maybe axes?) modeled into them. im thinking maybe turn all the champions into a p.pistol/power axe/melta bomb dude. that would make the list 1487. oh, and it seems i forgot to add in the combi-bolter; she modeled it but i left it out for some reason. she picked it for the same reason you mentioned.
