Call of Chaos

MoT cannot improve the invulnerable save to 2++ IIRC. Also don't give the sorcerer MoT if you are trying to do daemonology, as it forces rolls on the tzeentch table. Just hope for cursed earth and roll 3 times on daemonology. However, otherwise it is a good plan.

Thats right. I would go nurgle on the possessed... Toughness 5 is good to and with a 3++ save it is great

Maulerfiends start on one flank, Spawn with Lord between them for cover. Grotesque Raiders on the opposite side. Cultists scatter, hide, then try not to die. Raptors either Deep Strike or run up behind the Maulerfiends, cover hopping.
Alternately, drop 1 unit of Raptors, 1 unit of Cultists, and the blight grenades for a Heldrake.
Think this is reasonable, something you'd be willing to run? What would you do differently?

This is actually very similar to a list I'd been mulling over the past week. Mind you, this was at 1200, rather than 1500.      

I too would go Chaos as the main force, and focus on presenting lots of fast moving, armoured threats.

3 Maulerfiends, 5-6 Nurgle Spawn with attached Nurgle Biker Lord.

2 minimum csm squads and a melta, maybe a combi melta too, in rhinos. Regular csm are pretty weak, but they're tougher than raptors in their rhino, and it can give saves to my DE with good positioning. 2 Cheap units of cultists should be sufficient.

I wanted to throw in 2 venoms with minimum kabalite numbers for some long ranged anti infantry.
I'd like to squeeze in a Ravager but I don't see that happening at 1200 :L
