Say you put this in a Land Raider, or not.
You charge forward and disembark.
What now?
1. Shoot everything = 4 plasma shots, 4 TL Bolter, 10 Bolter, 1 B.Pistol
2. Shoot and assault = 10 B.Pistols + 4 Power weapon and 27 normal attacks
or disembark early/stay and shoot on range
12" = 4 plasma, 4 TL Bolter, 10 Bolter, 3 Heavy Bolter shots
24" = 2 plasma, 2 TL Bolter, 5 Bolter , 3 HB shots
Looks to me like firepower/mMelee stats from an normal Chaos Squad/Tac Squad from normal SM.
But you are paying over 300 points thats what two 10 SM Tac squads with melter/multi melter cost!
Mixing roles/weapons in this way is bad. FOCUS!
You pay for an heavy bolter but love to insert badgers into my face use it when you walk/charge, you pay for a Power Weapon that you love to insert badgers into my face use when you want to shoot with stuff you paid 55 points for.
Also Icon of Nurgle is 50 points making it 5 points per model that you can loose if you fail one unlucky save. Having a IoN also means you only got your LD 10.
For a tournament with the intension to win/play good stay away from Chosen.
For the 340 points that the squad would cost:
You could get 4 Terminator Champions with TLLC, IoCG and a Lord in Terminator armor with also TLLC.
Giving you 25 Power Weapon attacks on the charge rerolling to wound.
or
so much other stuff that is more versatile, more durable and does more damage.

No comment. Typical GW. Why do they give these "Tips"?
EDIT: If this sounds to harsh, i am sorry it wasn't intended to.
