I like

if i could only field 8 defilers it would truely add to Khorne's blood thirst

Seems good, except i might feel you're a bit low on Anti tank, those 4 meltas might not be enough to be honest :/

Good list, though a few power fists wouldn't go a-miss. See power weapons are ok, but against monstrous creatures you will struggle and walkers. Ok, you've got melta bombs for them you say, but to plant grenades on walkers you need a 6+ to hit Against vehicles you only get that one shot too, and if its moved can be a 4+ to hit. I'd rather take the power fist for dual purpose and pay the extra 5 points over the power weapon and melta bomb combination.

Power fists on bikers are a better choice. You've got melta, so do some damage on a tank and if it doesn't work assault it. More damage than a melta bomb

What you taking on your defilers? I find that twin linked heavy flamer and extra dccw is the nuts

will be running defilers with dccw and linked hvy flamer,
will need to drop a rhino or a biker to swap out PW & melta bomb for PF

Kharn: is ok.
Zerkers: some power fists would be nice…
Power weapons and melta bombs do NOT equal the price for a powerfist…so there will still be some juggling with the points.
I suggest 1:1 ratio of power weapons and fists.

Bikers: I know you want 8 total, but IMO that doesn’t fly very well.
In addition, not enough bodies in the squad to be that useful. ICON of Khorne is meh for them.

I say drop the bikers and load up on CC Dreads and then CC filers…though it becomes a walker list, it’s very combat oriented which fits…but I’d go for Dreads than defilers for a background reason.

‘Filers are still essentially Black Legion gifts. Not exactly World Eaters/Khorne though they may be dedicated (very strict background I know, but /shrug, just another point of view).
