Winged Deamon prince, again khorne or undivided.

I'll post pics if i can get some of the army tommorow

Bloodthirster 270
Might

There is no reason not to take Blessing. Its 5 points that can really save your butt.

Fateweaver 333

Not a fan of this guy. You have nothing that can really take advantage of the rerolls that well besides a few 'Crushers. I'd take a 2nd Bloodthirster probably or use those points elsewhere.

4 BloodCrushers 160
4 BloodCrushers 160

Good choices. If you want, you can mess around with the upgrades for Wound Allocation purposes but I think this is fine.

5 Fiends 160
Unholy might

Might isn't bad but I'd rather the points go towards a 6th Fiend.

6 Bloodletters 96

This is your weakness. You need larger scoring units. 6 guys with a 5++ save won't last 1 shooting round against a good opponent. Since all you have is Bloodlettters, I'd aim for 3 x 10 or 4 x 8.

10 Flesh hounds 160
Fury

Not a bad choice but I'm thinking they'll have to be cut for more 'Letters

Soul Grinder 160
tongue

95% of the time, its better to take Phlegm. The BS3 matters less and its a better all around power. If you want heavy anti-armor, you can hit them with your DCCW or charge your 'Thirster at it.

Well THANKS FOR BEING MY ONLY REPLY!!! heh heh


on that note... Blessing tends to be cause arguements and end up being next to useless at tournaments so i usually dont bother..

um on the second bloodthirster..did you not read the "here's the models i have" part of my post? i only have one :( though i understand fateweaver tends to be a points fart.I have as of today come into possesion of a (FREE) Keeper of secrets! maybe that instead of another thirster?

So the bloodcrushers are good eh? yay

um..again..only 5 fiends

i find bloodletters useful in more circumstances at smaller numbers because people ignore them...anything above 7 and they attract alot of attention..but maybe another 6 man squad could help. In the end..they just dont kill anything worth their points even in large numbers..but they're the only troops i got.

Fleshhounds traded for bloodletters? not a chance...bloodletters can't be an offensive unit because they have to deepstrike within twelve to ensure a charge the next turn and are less ST5 attacks per point (i know they get power weapons, but in the end power weapons don't help me kill tanks in any way.) while flesh hounds need to deepstrike within 19 to ensure a charge.

Your probably right on the grinders...i may just switch them out with 2 princes because of their obvious fear of meltas..


Again thanks for caring enough to post!

i'd drop a SG and take a Suited up B**tard of a Daemon Prince. Daemon Princes are pretty useful as they can be swapped to a Range guy in one game. and a Melee guy the next!

Have you taken a look at the missions yet? You are going to need Lots of scoring units. As has been noted three small groups of Bloodletters won't cut it. You are going to need at least four scoring units that can fare the course of a game. I run my Bloodletters at 15 - 20 per squad and they do quite well at those levels.

Sarnath666, Sorry I read your list of models incorrectly. I thought those were the extra models you had to play with in addition to the list.

well if drop fateweaver for a keeper of secrets w/musk i get 113 points to add in bloodletters hows 7 more seem? o.o
