Hey guys.

I'm a 40K guy, a fantasy guy. I cant understand why people are enjoying Aos so much, but you know what? Those models are pretty and I just got that Slaughter Priest from the White Dwarf, so after painting him I'm open to giving the game a try as id like to paint a few more of these Khorn models.
BUT, I don't know my ass from my elbow, so could any of you helpful people out there build me a FUN list, something that any of you would recommend for enjoyment rather than necessarily being "competitive."
Could any of you help me out here? Id request that the list be of the average game size, 1200 pts, 1500, 2000? I'm not sure what the average size would be but ill have to take your word for ladies and gents
I'm aware that you can play without points, but points are something id like to use.
Anyway, if any of you could help id appreciate it!

Whats fun for me might not be fun for you. I have no idea what your play style is, what models you like, what type of armies are in your meta. Gotta give us some more detail and just say build me a fun army! Bloodletter horde? cavalry heavy? Big monsters? etc...

If you're looking for fun, just take whatever you like and bring them up to about 1000 pts.

If you're just starting collecting minis, find someone to split the starter set for the khorne guys, then maybe add start collecting box of either khorne daemons or bloodbound.

I have a newbie in my gaming group who is starting out khorne with the following list:

mighty lord of khorne
bloodsecrator
slaughterpriest
herald of khorne
10x bloodwarriors
3x skullcrushers
20x bloodletters.

It seems like a fun, balanced list to play.

Well im looking for something that keeps the game flowing rather than getting bogged down, which seems to happen a bit in the games I've seen. I tend to prefer hordes though... which probably goes against that wish

Yeah hordes are the antithesis of quick play. So if thats your style take a look into Ogre kingdoms or the new beastclaw raiders. They are nordic orges riding mastadons, alongside units of Yetis hurling rocks at the enemy. fething sick models...and they are VERY powerful.

Well since you are into hordes, khorne also provide that option too!! Mainly using bloodreavers, naked barbarian that devote themselves for khorne. Starter box always the best buy in this, the expansion one is pretty sweet too.
They have 2 types of weapons, one that can reroll 1 to hit or one with rend -1 (reduce opponent save by 1 from this attack). But starter only gives you the reroll one. Bloodsecrator is khorne army best buffer, or might be the best buffer in aos, making KHORNE(so not only the human one, but the daemon one get this too) gains 1 attack and can ignore battleshock and makes any successful magic roll must be rerolled.
So if you are okay with daemon, bloodletters is another must buy, or just buy start collecting afterall.
Well you can read the rules by yourself, its free afterall. I will just give you hordes army list. Here's my list, made with scrollbuilder.com
http://bit.ly/2dxxRxw
Bloodsecrator - meat and potatoes
Daemon princes(or any DAEMON HERO KHORNE is fine) - for activate bloodletters buff
Bloodreavers - well you said that you loves horde
Bloodletters - this horde is also nasty, the banner can return D6 model if you roll 1 in battleshock (remember secrator effect is you dont have to, so you still can roll for battleshock. And with bravery 10 is almost impossible for you to flee some model in roll of 1, so always take battleshock everytime you can)
Skullcannon - at least you can shoot something lol, but that doesnt mean this is weak in combat, in fact, it's a lot stornger in close combat, very nasty
I guess it's more daemon centered, if you wanna bring your slaughterpriest you can remove skullcannon then add him and bloodstoker, which also can buff a khorne unit, which is nice
All in all, i never use this army, so im quite excited to see someone use this army list

Hey, sorry for the slow reply but thank you for such a well crafted response!

Preferably id like something a little less deamon focused but those sound like some good suggestions. Ive had a quick squiz at the rules and I see what you're saying. Skull cannons look pretty awesome I gotta say lol so I reckon ill go with them and with a bunch of the various blood warriors at first.... if im still interested I may add some of these deamons you speak of (That sounds like so much heresy)

If you want to keep it more bloodbound focused, try adding in a mob of blood reavers and a chaos warshine with mark of khorne. The warshrine can give them a 6+ save that will help them stay alive longer so they can dish.out 3-4 attacks each.

Khorne bloodbound is a more engaiging army as you haveto manage buffs and synergies to get the most out of it.

Well I played Bloodbound in our league.
Just a fun list. I felt that the Might Lord is too weak. At least I rolled very bad. Two Bloodsecreators are a must have. Blood warriors and Wraithmongers are decent as are Chaos Knights. Add some cheap point filler.

6+ dosnt sound great, is that like an invulnerable save? Forgive me, im still not familiar with the rules.

Those sound like good suggestions Out of you experience in the League, do you find Bloodbound to be enjoyable after a certain amount of points, or are they pretty good not matter how small a force they are? I'm looking to start small. I bought a box of Reavers the other day

well the problem is, blood reavers don't have any armor. they will die no matter what. chaos warshrine will buff to guys 9" around warshrine to able to deflect wounds and mortal wounds at 6. so you can save again inf you failed your save, like a FnP.
if you have looked at some warscroll, you will notice the "rend" and "damage". rend will affect your saves, and damages is how many wounds gone if that attack hits.
so let's say your blood warrior that has 4+ armor save are attacked by some dude. he gives you 4 attacks with -1 rend and damage 2 each. because of rend, your dice roll for saving those attacks will be minuses by 1, basically you need to roll 5 or more now rather than 4 or more. now you, as usual, make your save roll, since it's 4 attacks, you make 4 save 5+ roll .
let say again you failed all of them, and each attacks give you 2 damages each, so now your unit suffers a total of 8 damages. usually, you have to allocate the damages to 1 guy (anyone, so you can put the damages to the backrow guy) until he's dead, and then pick other guy to allocate the rest of the damages, and keep going until all of the damages has been allocated (so with 8 damages, and chaos warriors have 2 wound each, so 4 chaos warriors are dead)
now, with the warshrine, you can try to negate some of those damages. if you are within it's buff range, you can roll a dice for each damages, each roll of 6 meaning that damages is gone, so in this case, 8 dice. let's say you get 3 dice that shown 6, now you only get 5 damages, so only 2 guys dead and 1 guy with 1 wound remaining.
blood reavers, with no armor saves, you can't increase it by any means (spells, being in cover). but wit warshrine, your reavers at least can try to minimize the damage they suffer.
