Decided to try and get into daemons with a super fun khorne horde list. Take a look and tell me how it will do please.

How would that do? Obviously not competitive but in a friendly game?

This... Looks uncompetative? Struggling for constructive critisism here.

If you are running khorne daemons, you need the daemonkin book. You lose the daemonic gifts, but gain fearless so instability won't destroy you.

Have you seen the new bloodthirsters? They are kinda nice.

Maybe mix in soul grinders so you at least can shoot open transports.

Yeah the new bloodthirsters are what inspired the list, was thinking of getting a soul grinder but I wasn't sure if the bloodthirsters would've been able to handle vehicles by bashing in the back armour. So just lose a squad or two of bloodletters for a couple of soul grinders?

Bloodletters are pretty mediocre because they're are slow and fragile (also their damage is nothing to brag about since they only get 1A). So committing over half of your list to them is not good.

The best Khorne units are Flesh Hounds (especially when supported by Khorne Heralds on Juggernauts). Soul Grinders are all just good in general but you need to take multiple for them to function well

Yeah I'd go daemonkin ifin I was you gives you access to the bloodthirster of khorn wrath who is baller. And the way you can exploit the Blood tithe table makes the bloodletters much better, either by getting you blood points in death or being buffed up by the table.....which hopefully gives you more points which can be used to make mare bloodletters. Plus taking two blood host detachments gives you 2 auto points a turn and when you cash in your points you get 2 more choices on the Blood tithe table ( between the first 4 choices)
