You don’t need the icon with the terminators if you’re using them to escort your lord since he’ll confer the benefits of fearless, so that’ll free up points for the ectoplasma cannon on the forgefiend.
I agree with the lack of marks for a starting point, after a few games you could then tailor them to see where any of your units fall short.

EG
Lord with termi armour power weapon combi plasma meltabombs and sigil- 142
10 terminators with combi plasma and icon of vengence-399
20 marines champ with two power wepons and melta bomb and icon of vengence-330
10 marines champ with two power wepons and melta bomb and icon of vengence- 200
15 marines champ with two power wepons and melta bomb and icon of vengence- 265
Aegis defence line and quad gun-100
forgefiend 175
Total 1611.(oops)
Probably would have been better posting this video after you had posted the Heavy and HQ vid’s.
what’s that in the toilet? it looks like a cat climbing out. lol
My Starter Chaos Warband will be called : BLUE BALLS! 😀
