I am in the process of building an army and am kind of torn between couple of khorne and slaanesh units:

Hounds vs Seekers:

Hounds got better stats while seekers got lower stats but has rend and more attack. Is a mix of this a good idea or have all seekers/hounds?

Bloodletters vs daemonettes:

Bloodletters aren't as fast but they can be a beast in CC if they get there. Daemonettes got rending and can probably get to the enemy faster than the bloodletters. split?

crushers vs fiends :
crushers is more durable but fiends are insanely fast and can probably get to 1-2 more units than crushers. Crushers will probably finish up units faster than fiends.

Any input on these units?

In 4th there all fairly equal, once rending gets nerfed Khorne is going to pull way ahead. Slannesh simply wont be able to do enough damage to justify how fragile they are. Against marines one in twelve attacks will rend in fifth, that doesn't chew up enough of the enemy not to get creamed by the return attacks, considering deamonettes and seekers are as survivable as guardsmen and fiends aren't that much better. Khorne all the way.

Seekers will still be better then Hounds in 5th. Same WS, better Init, more attacks, rending plus Aura for a measly 2 pts. Bloodcrusher movement kind of limits their uses beyond augmenting the hitting power of Bloodletters, while Fiends can reach out and tie up heavy weapons squads.

But yeah Bloodletters in 5th.

I dunno about the seekers/hounds, but I'd go Bloodletters over Daemonettes, because of the changes to rending in 5th. And besides, who doesn't want a 10-man squad with a SM statline, 5+ inv save, and power weapons? I'm seeing something that might stand up to pariahs here...

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Because we all need something to stand up to those cheezy Pariahs.

I hear Ogryns are the perfect foil to Repentia.

Repentia? Blast weapons maybe? Slaaneshi Lords with Blissgiver?
