[Ides]

So to verify:
One squad close combat (Bolt Pistol x7, Plasma pistol x1, Chainsword x 6, Power fist x1, Dark Blade x1)
One squad ranged (bolter x5, heavy bolter x1, plasma gun x2)
(I'm browsing the Codex for the rules on veteran skills...)

Outfit the Chaos lord with 50 points plus of daemonic gifts (Daemon prince, Daemonic armour, dreadaxe, wings(optional), Daemonic Stature... Or other ideas. Need to check the codex for points values.)

(If a model has Daemonic stature, and can thus hold a Kai gun one handed, does that mean they can hold another weapon also?)

Chaos Rhino Combi bolter, Havoc Launcher, Smoke Lauchers, Dozer blades, extra armour , mutated hull.

Should I invest in a chaos sorcerer?

And of the three (Berserkers, Dreadnought, Defiler) which would be the better investment.
