Whoa. That's alot of points.

Well, for one, daemonic essence is x/- points, so single wound models can't have them.

I see you're using Doomfisting rules. IMHO, still not worth it. They need to get to me first. And, at 390 (taking out Essence) points for 6 models... well, Battle Cannons and Plasma Cannons will have a field day.

I'd keep em as a 6-man unit, give them a Rhino, and a Rapturous Standard. Stick Lucius with them and watch him get a 3+ armour save with a 4+ feel no pain with all those juicy attacks.

Make two of them combat units and it's looking better.

tear it up i wanna know where my flaws are but first i am trying to do a mostly sonic weapon army and i HATE daemons so don't tell me to use em because i won't. and if you think that the chosen is way to expensive recommend me a way to get the same hurt for less points... finally i am using the OLD 3rd ed chaos codex (before they revised it in 2006) so the doom sirens make me always strike first no matter what.
TBH, nearly the whole list is a flaw.

1. Daemons - you don't like em? Why? I'm afraid I don't rate this list one iota simply because of the lack of Daemons. At so little points for a rending Daemonette, who can refuse? You don't have to use them, but if you want a themed army, well... You're better off WITH them.

2. Chosen are WAY too expensive. First turn, you'll have my whole Thousand Sons army shooting at them. Assuming 1 squad is within rapid fire range, you'll be facing 32 shots - approx 3-4 of your guys will die. That doesn't include my Psychic Powers. Better off taking a unit with a Rhino and a Rapturous Standard for Lucius. Alternatively, take Possessed with Talons in a Rhino. Lots of ouch.

3. Use the 4th printing. That's what they use in Tournaments.
