So my general idea here is the vanguard force of a much slower moving army, these guys are here to get in close fast and rip and tear. Using the chaos legion rules, as well as khorne ascendant, all of the demons of khorne are now unbreakable without unstable. Everything is essentially immune to psych thanks to frenzy or demon rules. I've got some points to play with in magic items and such.

Thoughts? Am I missing anything major?

Seems good. Can't really argue against DP's, heavy cav, and chariot spam.

One thing I'd say is drop the standard bearers on the crusher units. If they have to flee from losing a combat, you automatically lose the 88 pt. model due to "last stand" or w/e that rule is called that makes the standard bearer auto-die when you flee from combat.

HoME is really good, and you're odds of failing the stupidity check on reroll 8 or 9 Ld is low, but it does exist. If your jugger block with BSB runs forward 7" to a place you don't want them to it could be game right there. Not worth the risk for me, but idk. You could get a similar effect but better with the ASF magic sword and an enchanted shield, dragonhelm, or charmed shield. Actually, I don't think you need a magic item to get him to a 1+, you can just give him a shield for 3 pts.

Ascendent only works in certain scenarios or fun narrative games you play with your friends/your opponent agrees to. SO that for a general list is out.

Also using Bloodcrushers instead of skullcrushers. Either very brave or very foolish, more points for a vastly worse unit.
