Underdogs

I've had many conversations with gamer friends over the years about my bad luck when it comes to dice rolling. There's been suggestions that I start a Lamentors army so it at least made sense. I have takn it a step further if my dice are going to betray me why not let them do so in a more spectacular fashion? I've looked around and settled on the Chaos Space Marines. Who else is more self destructive? Daemon weapons, plasma weapons and Bile upgrades. Let's do this!

The Underdogs (Loyalist Chapter)

Fabius Bile 160pts
Chaos Lord w/Mark of Khorne, Daemon Weapon, Personal Icon, Plasma Pistol 160pts
5 Chosen w/5 Plasmaguns 165pts
10 Upgraded Chaos Space Marines w/Champion w/Combi-Plas, 2x Plasmaguns, IoN, Rhino 320pts
10 Upgraded Chaos Space Marines w/Champion w/Combi-Plas, 2x Plasmaguns, IoN, Rhino  320pts
9 Upgraded Chaos Space Marines w/Champion w/Combi-Plas, 1x Plasmagun, IoN, Rhino 287pts
9 Upgraded Chaos Space Marines w/Champion w/Combi-Plas, 1x Plasmagun, IoN, Rhino 287pts
2 Obliterators 150pts
2 Obliterators 150pts

So here we have a self destructing army. Dying to Bile upgrades before the game even begins and to its own weaponry during the game. Regardless though my whole army is fearless and the upgraded marines end up being S5-6 and T5(at least for a while). The lord as well killing himself with his daemon weapon on any roll of a 1 on 2d6! Utter self-inflicted calamity! Complete underdogs! If I win the victory will be all that sweeter. Although at full strength there's 10 plasma guns, a plasma pistol and 4 plasma cannons. Which is nothing to sneeze at. Thoughts?
