First off, the army is illegal.

The cyclopean cabal is not an HQ choice, it is it's own detachment (each formation is a separate detachment). I assume the rest of the army is a combined arms detachment? You will need to find the points for an HQ choice for that detachment, as the sorcerers don't count.

You're probably going to want to drop either the helbrute, and/or the raptors plus downgrading the chosen to chaos marines to make room for an HQ choice for the combined arms detachment.

Thanks for the help. Would a cheap sorcerer or a cheap chaos lord would be a better HQ choice? I have been out of the chaos loop for a long time and rusty at list building.

Lords are only really good for unlocking cult troops. I'd go with another cheap sorcerer. You could probably get most of the points for that turning the chosen into chaos marines and dropping a special weapon from both unit.


Looks like a neat list.
