Hey dakka long time lurker first time poster, havent played alot of 40k since 4th ed looking to pick up again with a khorne themed army. Keep in mind that this is not a competative list I'm not tryin to win a GT here but I dont want to get beaten like a wet paper bag either.

HQ
Khorne demon prince PwrArm 180
Khorne chaos lord MoK Pwr sword sigil gift 125

Elite
Hellbrute 105

Troops
8 Bezerkers melta bombs pwr sword 182

Heavy support
Maulfiend 125

Defiler 195

Allied detachment
Hereld of khorne 55
10 bloodletters 100
10 bloodletters 100

So general plan was this: screw my own objectives dash across the board to hit things and take thiers, using the maulerfiends, hellbrute and raptors as my anti armour and in support charges with other units. The bloodletters will deepstrike to get in amongst the enemies battle line and generally be a distraction. Thoughts?

The Daemon detachment is pretty gakky to be honest. Hounds + Herald, or Thirster + Prince (+ Hounds) is where its at man

Dropping a unit of bloodletters for hounds is a good idea. Thanks!

I just noticed the herald isn't mounted. Seriously man, throw him on a jugger, give him an axe of khorne and maybe even a etherblade for +1 attack (and different weapons options) and you'll be glad you did

I agree a khorne herald should never ever be on foot even if he is in a bloodletter unit, juggers are too good to pass up! That being said i would try to include some flesh hounds they're really fast and will take pressure off your other fast elements. A bloodthirster would also work well with this army but its really up to you which direction you want to go in.

Also while the single hellbrute might not do bad but a lot of other things could do better spawn are quick and would keep up with the rest of your army or you can put the points towards that bloodthirster...no i'm not hinting that bloodthirsters are awesome or anything.

Rhinos need XA, Dozer and Dirge = 20pts each. THis will ensure your troops make it to their destination (unless they get blow up).\
Give the prince the "black mace" and maybe the "burning brand".
Drop Deamon allies unless you can get the Bloodthirster in there as the HQ.
Dump the defiler for another Mauler fiend.
For 40pts you can upgrade the Lord to KHARN which is much better.

Id rather have landraiders than rhinos any day. Dirge casters are handy as well. Not sure the point of the hellbrute (the data slates are quite good tho) but they are 100 pts in the errata.

iirc Helbrute is 100 pts. Or have you added a combi-bolter?

Yep, and you need a landraider to make zerks even a bit viable. At least one. If you wana go rhinos, take regular marines with bolters. Give them MoK and CCW and here you go, zerks with ws4, without fearless but some range capabilities and a plazma/melta/flamer to boot. And still really capable in mellee.
And take Axe Of Blind Fury on a lord.
Also, Raptors don't really need Melta bombz if they allready have melta. But that's up to your liking ofc.
