I am thinking of splitting my BT into a Khorne/herald with a squad of 16-20 bloodletters/plaguebearers instead. Or is having a GD in 2k+ armies will make a much bigger difference?

Also, is the setup of 1GD + 3 heralds overall(points + use) better than 4 heralds?
I am thinking setup of BT/Keeper w/ 3tzeentch heralds OR 2 tzeentch heralds + khorne/nurgle herald
Or
Khorne/nurgle herald w/ 3 tzeentch heralds... any suggestions?

Blood thrister = play like an absolute muppet to lose your game.

It can be decked out so it wil be nigh on unstoppable by most armies.

In the tourney scene here in Oz BT = almost 0 for comp.

4 heralds however are much more flexible and add more to your army as a whole. They offer you and your opponent challenges.

Personally I want to do a mixed army with 4 heralds, one from each power and 1 troop unit from each power.

I think overall 4 Heralds is more powerful in the long run - BTs are great, as are all GDs, but they cost a hell of a lot of points and do suffer from bad matchups. They really arent much different to dragons, so strong tournament lists will take the out (eg, BT vs Lizards = a joke)

how about khorne herald w/ 3 tzeentch heralds? decent magic and the "best" combatant second to GD (and skulltaker).

Well what about it? You havent really asked a question...Ill asume you're wondering if it is good, and the answer can only be "it depends on the rest of your army"

How is a Bloodthirster a joke against Lizards?

Shaselai you're asking these obvious questions on every forum. Just play with the army instead of endlessly metagaming with it. BT+3 heralds is great, as is 4 heralds, as is any other GD+3 heralds. I don't like any other Heralds except Tzeentch ones, but to each their own.
