[Lord Commander Erus]

Put my ideas in red, though not sure how good they'll be received.

Quick notes: This army comprises of every single chaos unit I have. I won't have any more money to spend on figures for about three weeks. Also, I would prefer it if I didn't have to switch around any of the weapons, I already assembled most of the models (save for two possesed and the termi lord)

Retrievers 3rd Division:

HQ:
Chaos Lord-
-Terminator Armor
-Mark of Khorne
-Personal Icon
-Pair of Lightening Claws
Total: 145
Personally, with lightning claws, and this lord, I would have given him a jump pack over termie armor, drop the personal icon, and left it there. Stick him in a squad of Raptors marked slaanesh w/ a lightning clawed champion... OW...


Elites:
Chosen Marines (5)
-Icon of Tzeentch
-Champion
-Melta Gun
-Power Weapon
-Power Fist
-Plasma Pistol-
Total: 205
Waaaay to spread out. You need to use chosen as needle sharp execution strike forces. Pick a role.. Anti-tank, anti-hq, anti-.fiantry, and then equip it for that. If you can state what role you want them/picture them doing, i'll try to give you a good set up.

Terminators (5)
-1 Champion
-Icon of Nurgle
-Chainfists (2)
-Reaper Autocannon
-Combi-Flamer
Total: 260
Hmmm... Not bad... I'd drop it to one chain fist or loose the combi-flamer though.

Possesed (5) (*quick note. I personally don't like these units and will replace them with another set of chosens once I come across more money)
-Icon of Slaneesh
-Champion
Total: 160

Troops:
Chaos Space Marines (10)
-Champion
-Champion's Power weapon
-Icon of Chaos Glory
-Flamer
-Heavy Bolter
Total: 205
Drop the heavy bolter. Mixing a special weapon that is short range (flamer) with long range heavy weapon (heavy bolter) means to use one you sacrifice the usefulness of the other.

Khorne Bersekers (8)
-Champion
-Champion's Power Fist
Total: 208
Can't argure here, though w/ the new berserkers i'd keep it to just a power weapon. Maximizes the shock attack value, as with furious charge, +1 ws and a power weapon on the champion, this unit will RIP up whatever it hits.

Fast Attack:
Spawn (2)- 80
Not familair with the new version, but from what I hear, they ROCK! I'd advise getting some raptors... Your army seems to lack mobility a bit. And that hurts SM.

Heavy Support:
Defiler
-Havoc Launcher
-extra melee arm
Total:155
I'd loose the havoc launcher for an extra melee arm to just make it an insane CC monster.. Defilers under the new 'dex work best kitted out to one extreme or the other. Mult-tasked liek this and they're just.. MEh..

Grand Total: 1418 pts.

Feedback please....and corrections if I did anything wrong.
