Saturday Mini Tournament - 500 pts

So, this Saturday, three friends and I are meeting up to do a little mini tournament. Our goal is to play several 500 pt games that evening. Force Composition is restricted to 1 HQ, 2+ Troop choices, and 1 Heavy, Elite, or Fast Attack choice (that is 1 of them, not one each). The attempt here is troop heavy combat that are fighting in city terrain. 500 points isn't much to work with, so I'm going for quantity.

Here is the list:

500 Pts - Chaos Marines Roster

Troops: Chaos Space Marines (5#, 120 pts)
4 Chaos Space Marines @ 120 pts (Bolt Pistol; Close Combat Weapon; Bolter; Flamer x1; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades)
1 Aspiring Champion (Bolt Pistol; Power Fist; Bolter; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades)
Troops: Chaos Space Marines (6#, 125 pts)
5 Chaos Space Marines @ 125 pts (Bolt Pistol; Close Combat Weapon; Bolter; Flamer x1; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades)
1 Aspiring Champion (Bolt Pistol; Power Weapon; Bolter; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades)
These are my front line troops. Their the assault types, and what I plan on using as front line fighters. Pretty simple here. Flamers are picked because we are using city terrain, and 2 out of the 3 armies I'll be facing are horde (Orc and Tyranid), so will be using cover.
Troops: Chaos Space Marines (6#, 100 pts)
6 Chaos Space Marines @ 100 pts (Bolt Pistol; Close Combat Weapon; Bolter; Meltagun x1; Frag Grenades; Krak Grenades)
This is my ranged/tank killer choice. At this point level, I don't imagine I'll be seeing much armor, but I'd rather have it just in case. Besides, it's instant death to anything it hits.

HQ: Daemon Prince (1#, 155 pts)
1 Daemon Prince @ 155 pts (Close Combat Weapon; Fearless; Wings; Warptime x1)
This was a difficult choice, in truth. He's in here because of the mobility he offers, as well as the insane power he provides. 5 attacks on an assault, Warptime, and MC weapons: he's my my killer unit. His job is to get in and destroy the opposing "big scary unit" that I'm bound to face.

The prize for winning is pretty big: free dinner later that night!
