I am looking into khorne chariots - it looks pretty good but is it better than a herald on a juggernaut inside a unit? It might be expensive letting the chariot ride out in the open - one str 7 shot kills the whole unit.. Anyone had any luck with chariots? What is the "limit" on unit size for a chariot to charge straight on into? I am thinking maybe have all melee army. Which setup is good for ~2000?
2 heralds w/chariot + 2 heralds w/jugger
OR
1 bt, 2 heralds w/jugger
OR
1bt, 2 heralds w/jugger, 1 herald w/chariot?

I would not use the chariots because they can be blown out by a Str7 shot.

Heralds on Juggernauts can do a lot of damage in CR.

my oppenant used a chariot agaisnt me once, charged into my spearman, killed four. spearman. pisterliers charged the chariot in the flank. chariot gone. if you charge with the chariot make sure you break the unit on the charge or you've lost a chariot 9 times out of ten

Blood Thirster
Skulltaker on jugger
Herald BSB on jugger

Bloodthirster is crazy, zany underpriced, especially with the magical kit you can give him.
Skull taker is all kinds of awesome (except against anyone in dragon prince armour)
Herald BSB is needed in a daemon army.

should the skulltaker be in a unit of letters? should the BT be tooled out w/ AK,IF,FB or AK,IF,DI? if i give him FB i might be in trouble against dragon princes so i thought maybe 2 heralds khorne instead of skulltaker? if I give him DI then i will be "safe"... ideas for tools?

Chariots cannot be depended upon to break enemy units on their own.

IF you want one, take two, and be prepared to wait until it's supported by troops. Even Flesh Hounds will do, as they can bring additional attacks.
