Created with BattleScribe

So this is actually my first army (spent a while theory crafting and wanted to hold off on starting an army until the new codex dropped) and I would greatly appreciate feedback.

The general plan is to have the HQ blob march down the center with the terminator squad to control the middle while still posing a threat that the enemy would need to engage. Between the MoP and Illusory Supplication I imagine the Termies will be pretty hard to get through but with Abaddon and the meltas they should be a ranged threat. Once things close the Lord Discordant should be a blender. Cultist and Legionaries screen the back and go for secondaries, I know the legionaries are squishy but their psyker powers can ignore los so 18" range should let them stay in decent cover. The Venomcrawlers are decent shooting and provide the nice 1 to cast. And then using the bikers (with 4 from tzeentch legionary) and heldrake to provide some board control and flanking. Heldrake might not be the best, but the model is too much fun not to use.
