I'd swap a few things around: have a csm squad with two meltas and another with two plasmas. Then each has a more dedicated role that can dictate how you use the squads.

Then take the rhino from the plasma csm squad, and give it to one of the Chosen squads; all those melta guns are in danger of being out of range for a lot of the time....

Then get rid of the melta bombs on the chosen, and upgrade the chosen on foot to have 2 plasma and 2 melta - with three melta guns and a power fist, those melta bombs are not really needed, and it'll give the chosen squad on foot a little more punch at range.

Lastly, and this is more of a judgement thing, it's possible to have the power fists in the chosen squads on normal guys, and the aspiring champion without any extra equipment; that way if you bring in the greater daemon using one of the chosen champs, you don't loose the powerfist. However, the trade off here is that you loose one attack with the powerfist in close combat, so that's really up to player preference there.

Apart from the things WW mentions, I would probably advice against taking the greater daemon. There are so many more needed things to bring, like two rhinos for the chosen(who would otherwise be ineffective on DoW deployment) and some havoc launcers/combi-meltas on the rhinos...

I'm also a critic against only three troop choices at 2k points. My personal rule of thumb is one troop choice per 500 points...

Thanks alot I'm rewriting slowly (at work on a Sunday gah) I'll post later on but I have one question, if chosen have a rhino bought for them are they able to deploy via infiltrate and I just set the rhino up normally? Also would you guys think it stupid to change one chosen squad too 1 Msl 4x plasmas infiltrate into terrain etc an just hold like a firebase.
I hope that made sense lol

If you look here, I've written a short explanation as to how using rhinos with Chosen can work.

As far as the plasma firebase goes, it's not a bad idea, but remember just that although you can infiltrate close to the enemy, it's not always necessary to do so; you can still infiltrate to cover other fire lines.
