5 Terminator Chosen = 180, not 150
Banner of Rage = 20, not 15
6 Bloodletters = 156, not 150

Ok I think your list is very interesting, the 2 oblitz at the bottom of the list really threw me, fluff and otherwise I mean.

My very first army in 40K was World Eaters, sentament has kept me playing them over the years and I am always facinated by other peoples take and style. There is a reflexive thought across the back of my mind when ever some one mentions Berzerkers and Blood Letters... 164 and 208 (points costs for favored units, I always give my Champions Talons). So I am sitting here scratching my head as I am counting down points and then I see the Blitz at the bottom and I have to go out and have a smoke to allow it a moment to sink in.

Those two Bits are not costing you 70 points each, they are costing you 83 points each cause the favored units would recieve the champion upgrade for free if they were not on the list. if you were bringing more units of dudes then they would be costing you more infact.

I know why you bring them, Khorne armies suck against heavy armor and you need some tank popping power. That is what Power Fists are for (I have many thoughts on how to improve the list to compensate for their lack of tank popping but must admit that they are a very specialized army and would be even more broken if any of my adjustments were ever made). When fielding a Khorne based army think of Power Fists as your Heavy Weapon. And, unless you are regularly fighting Necrons with Monoliths, Talons are your friend. they are cost effective variable (if not neccessarilly reliable) weapons. Rending Does Not Suck! e'specially on the attack heavy Khorne Berzerkers.

Think of Bloodletters as cheep assaulty terminators! 26 points, S5 Sv3+(5+) Power Weapons!... and they take little if any fire crossing the field since they are summoned

For 32points per model you could have Possessed with RENDING instead of Powerweapons and they get to use the enhanced move potential.

your lord is good, keep the points cost down I might even suggest you reduce him to a leiutenant. your lightning claw is costing you 25 points, your plasma pistol is costing you 15 points, 2 lightning claws cost 30 points. spiky bits are nice... not necesary.

other than that, think about predators or dreads instead of Oblitz,

over the years I have found it best to keep it simple, you don't need much in the way of flashy war gear and being able to field several units is much more impressive than a few, especially at 1000 points.

and if your not interested in the Favored unit bonus than follow your own advice and field several small units (they have better LD than Nids my friend.)
