I'm a 40K player, both my brothers play fantasy (High Elves and Brettonians).

Let me know what you think:

Bloodthirster (general) - 545
Armor of Khorne (3+ sv)
Dark Insanity (2D6+2 attacks)
Firestorm Blade (+1 strength and flaming)

Skulltaker on a Juggernaught - 200

The Masque - 90

3 x 10 Bloodletters of Khorne with full command - 450 (3x150)

1 x 12 Chaos Furies - 144
2 x 10 Chaos Furies - 240

4 Bloodcrushers of Khorne with full command - 330

I haven't even picked a WHFB army yet. I prefer close combat with heavy, tough, fast units but am somewhat averse to playing Brettonians and Empire as I already play humans in 40K.

You're lacking hounds. They are one of the best units in the Daemons book and also happen to be Khornate. Why so many furies?

Full command on small units is too expensive for little benefit. Blood crushers don't need command at all.

Alright, I dropped the command units. Changed only units counts

Same:

Bloodthirster
Skulltaker
Masque

Different:

10 Bloodletters
10 Bloodletters
12 Bloodletters

7 Furies
7 Furies

5 Flesh hounds
5 Flesh hounds

4 Bloodcrushers of Khorne

I thought you said this was a Khorne army. What's the Masque doing in there? Trying to woo the Bloodthirster over to Slaanesh?

Looks pretty standard for a mostly mono-Khorne list.

It's the bloodthirster's concubine ;-).

Nah, I don't know the specifics on the rule yet (haven't gotten my hands on the rulebook yet), but she has dances that pair pretty nicely with the Bloodthirster. More specifically one that drops a units leadership by 2, and combined with the terror-causing bloodthirster means I can play some pretty cool psychological tricks on non-ITP units.

i dunno, its just me, but having all khorne smashy units and a single slannesh unit...seems off. honestly, if your running the full tilt khornate army, you WANT to be smashing into things full bore, and playing LD games before you get there seems.....cheap... imo if your fighting something thats going to run away, its gonna do it as soon as you declare a charge anyway. trying to make enemies run away is more of a slanesh trick then khorne. id replace the masque with another herald and have him lead your larger unit of bloodletters. since your going to pretty much dominate the CC phase, i think your only foe is a dedicated shooting list, or someone who can out manuvere you. in which case, playing LD antics with the masque isint going to do much.... plus shes more likley to get singled out and killed, and is therefore a waste of points and more important, free victory points for your opponent.

One thing to remember with the masque is that while the LD might drop on the unit it does not effect the test if the test is taken on the General's LD.

Get rid of the Masque and a Blood Crusher and get a Herald of Khorne on Jugger in there.

Hmmm, interesting. I like that (@negativemoney).

I dropped the Masque and a unit of Furies, increased the other unit to 8 furies, kept the bloodcrushers, and added a Herald with the Armor of Khorne for 175 pts.

No magic, no shooting, just face-smashing. I like :-).
