Well, looks ok to me, though you have 3 expensive units. I can see why you\'ve taken the rhino, to get those berserkers up close quickly. The problem with that, I think, is they can\'t assault when they disembark, if the Rhino has already moved that turn, and there\'s the problem that rhinos don\'t have good armour. The guy that uses a Khorne army at my local club doesn\'t use any vehicles but I guess that\'s just preference; he has 3 units of berserkers. I think I\'d swap the missile launcher for another lascannon, unless you\'re going to be taking on a number of IG or similarly low enough armour save armies. I\'m still pretty new to 40k really, and if I wasn\'t unwell, I could ask the more experienced players at the club about chaos.

One thing though I will say, Chaos are getting a new codex in September so things could change a bit.

I was sort of thinking that the rhino could get near the enemy stop, pop smoke and act as mobile cover for the unit of beserkers. next turn the beserkers charge around the rhino and into the enemy.

Well, it could work, maybe I\'m just bitter about my rhino in my daemonhunters army blowing up before I\'ve moved my meltagun stormtroopers in postion. lol

The guy at my local club who has used a khorne army has 3 untis of berserkers, I think, along with some las-plas (as those units seem to be termed at the club) and a daemon prince. Obviously you\'re going for more of a variety in your army. Well, I suppose it\'s up to you, the berzerkers are going to get fired at whichever way you choose to move them.
