Have an up coming tourney. Wanted a fun, not competitive list, that packs a punch in CC. My meta consists of eldar serpent spam, some varied Dark Eldar, and lots of defense lines etc with imperial and tau armies.


HQ- 650
Bloodthirster- 2 greater
Herald on Throne, locus of Fury, exalted gift
Herald on Throne, locus of Fury, exalted gift


Troops- 420
20 Bloodletters
10 Bloodletters, instrument
10 Bloodletters, instrument

Elites- 780
5 Bloodcrushers, instrument, Banner of Blood
5 Bloodcrushers, instrument, Banner of Blood
5 Bloodcrushers, instrument, Banner of Blood

The idea: with 5 instruments I will get my stuff on the table quickly. I enjoy redundancy in my lists, but I am open to suggestions. I thought of taking an allied khorne lord on juggernaut and a min cultist unit in place of the third blood crushers unit. I'm still pretty new to Daemons. Any C&C would be appreciated.

That's almost never going to work. The bloodletters with their 3 T will force the enemy to shoot at them instead of the crushers at best. The problem is that your crushers cost ALOT of points, and they don't form that big of a threat if you put them into 3 squads with 5 each, if you put them in o1 big squad, the enemy is forced to shoot at them because otherwise he'll be in trouble, now it's going to end up with either no bloodletters on the table, or either no crushers, which is both bad. I would say, take less bloodletters, put the crushers in 1 big squad, and consider putting some flesh hounds in the list. Flesh hounds with their 2 wounds each will force the enemy to shoot more at them and less on your other stuff..

Hope this helped.

Hate to break it to you, but you just said your meta consists of serpent spam,tau and DE/E or taudar while i love the sound of it because I have always admired khorne it's just not going to work.

Did I say my meta consists of that, I don't see a single thing that is actually to the 'meta' since if I would be telling him the current meta he would have a screamer star or flying circus

I'd at least give the heralds juggernauts and have them ride with the Bloodcrushers. That way they have ablative wounds and can buff the Bloodcrushers with their loci
