Strategy: I made this list with the force supremacy campaign mission in mind. Given the limits of Dawn of War deployment the strategy would be to deploy the Rhino with the 9 khorne berserkers and the chaos lord inside it, as my HQ & 2 Troops choice. Then during my turn rush it all the way forward towards the enemy objective.

The 2nd turn is the most important turn as I roll for the terminators. The Chaos Lord has a personal icon so that the terminators may deep strike without scatter anywhere near the rhino (thus why i'd rush the rhino forward from the beginning). With some luck I get at least one group of terminators and disembark the rhino with everything right on the enemy objective or real close to it.

My predators, the havocs and the large group of space marines with a champion bearing power first will sit at my objective defending it from anything that comes at it. So essentially i will leave most of my heavy stuff camping on my objective while assaulting my opponent's objective with everything else to either capture it or contest it.

IMO this should work perfectly for force supremacy but I wanted you opinions/ideas and how do you think it would perform in general in random games.

Sounds pretty nasty with those deep striking terminators, I'll have to recheck my book as I thought the icons only worked for daemons, I could be wrong though, my chaos collection only sees limited action and my buddy who plays chaos uses a more nurgle styled siege sort of tactic and likes to grind me down with tough troops and pieplates thrown from his vindicator and defiler.

my army is Black Legion, go chaos undivided!
