His usual list is tank heavy with two squads of fire-warriors mounted in devilfish, a hammerhead or two, at least one pirhanna and 2-3 battlesuits. I'm hoping to put the hammerheads out of commission fairly quickly, but I also want to be able to secure objectives and hold table quarters if need be.

The familiar means he can take the extra power for the fraction of the cost of the tzeentch mark, but I'd rather keep that sorceror back so I can take advantage of warptime (and since one of the possible rules of engagement scenarios is assassinate leader, its a nice idea to have him behind a wall of troops to defend against deepstrikers).

I could replace the regular marines with a squad of chosen infiltrating with a lascannon, or else I could go for Khorne. If I take out the regular CSM I have 186 pts to spare...that's a rhino and six berserkers, champ and meltabombs, but they'd need to cross the table fast, and since theirs is the only rhino that wouldn't be able to fire on the move, they'd be vulnerable.

Do you reckon the berserkers are the way to go?
