The basic idea is to have the terminators and lord at the center flanked on each side by a rhino containing the flamer units. To one side of that lies the possessed and dreadnought and to the other side is the chaos predator and large unit of chaos marines. Lucius travels in one of the rhino tanks ready to get into combat, and the lesser daemons can teleport directly in with Lucius, the 10-man squad, or the lord, as all 3 have a personal icon. In terms of modelling, everything except Lucius will be plastic apart from the dreadnought which will be the forgeworld resin sonic dreadnought.

What do you think of both the list and the tactics?

I like this list. However, a couple of small things. Take out the Possessed Champ, its only an extra attack, so points would be better spent elsewhere. I realise theres not much points to spare, but the 5 man units would be more effective with an extra man or two. And one should be equipped with Melta Gun for anti tank.

Thanks for the tips. Also i just realised i misread the "one model in the unit can have an icon" as "one model in the army..." hence why only one squad is marked as Slaanesh. I am going to work on a list with less chaos marines and more noise marines, and a lot more marks of slaanesh! I will post it up in the same thread here once im done. Thanks again

If you need extra points to spend, maybe take the Lord out, as you already have Lucius.

Better yet, take out the Possessed altogether, they're crap. Take out the Dreadnaught too if you haven't bought the model yet - that's crap too unless given two close combat arms. Put those points into more Chaos Marines and Noise Marines, if you value your theme. The least you could do to your Rhinos is put havoc launchers onto them, as well - hilariously good upgrades, you can drop off your squads then go hunting for light targets with them, they make your Rhinos halfway Razorbacks without losing the transport capacity.
