So? C&C.
The Chaos marine book allows me to field auto-cannon devs (fluffy weapon, no?), i can still field a 'command squad' albeit swapping apothacary for being scoring. It also alows me to showcas the WE prefrence for combat with all tacs having cc weapon, bolt pistol. Beserkers are modified marines to show the legion in part-transtion. Overall im pretty happy with it.

I think the WE had "Berserkers" before they turned to Khorne anyway. Indeed I reckon it to be the legacy of Angron's implant technology.
Don't worry about the Apothecary - I don't imagine WEs go back to help their wounded much! I've used a Medicae strategem from Cities of Death to model a little diorama of a WE Apothecary, because I also normally use the Chaos codex.

Do people like my 'command squad' idea? i thought it was rather clever :lol:

I do like the command squad Idea.
I've a couple of suggestions for you to think about.
1. Your army is entirely on foot so you may find that your 10 man squads will get shot up before they reach the objectives.
2. I'd consider putting your beserkers all into one unit and give your sgt a power fist.
Two reasons, he should live longer from enemy shooting and this unit will scare the crap out of just about any enemy. Even a full strength unit of Orks will think twice about assaulting this unit as it will hit back very hard.
Also the points saved from the other sgt is nearly enough to give your "scoring" command squad or a tactical squad a transport option.
3. One of the main advantages of the Chaos codex over the marine one is squad size limits. The marines get combat squads for flexability however they can't use massive units of 20 marines for one slot. (20 chaos marines=40 cc attacks,60 on the charge!)
Had you considered using a squad of havocs with 4 special weapons (melta/plasma) mounted in a rhino for "drive-by" style close support fire?
Hope this helps. ;)

Hmm some things to consider.
See the other way to go is to lose the havocs and go mech....
I think 2x 7 zerks beats 1 unit.
Twice the scoring and more tactical options imo. Plus i have a fair few PF and PWs make best use of furious charge...
I will write a diff list to compare tomoz B)

Certainly very aggresive. (anyone notice how i like ~60 marines at 1500?)

Looks good but I think you need transports, especially for the Berzerkers and the melta unit. Even Marines are fragile footslogging through fire.
