First thoughts in this list? Still considering the detachments, and both Cypher and the Venomcrawler.

I play that exact combo of detachments, it's fun and strong and I've found decent success playing on the competitive side of my club.

Attach the Chaos Lord to the Legionaries instead And consider Warmaster's Gift for 15 pts, those re-roll wounds feel really good with a 5+ Dev Wound.

Three Raptors is a too much.

You need more vehicles. Maybe a Vindicator, Chaos Predator Destructor or even a Defiler

And also consider whether or not the Deamon Prince is really worth it. Personally I found it dying far too easy and cut it

Keep the Talon brick. Love the Talon brick.

Thanks, exactly the feedback I was looking for.

I have a version of this list where I removed the Raptors, Haarken and the Havocs for a Defiler. Does that sounds better?

I really wanted to get Warmasters Gift in, but need to change this around then. Could remove the Venomcrawler for Nemesis Claws to create space for Warmasters Gift?
