Now this is just a thought but try Removing the Blood Letters and add PlaugeBearers. Plauge Bearers are much better and harder to take down

It's a mono-khorne list.

Entire army of power weapons :-D

... Is basically the point. Plus Plaguebearers are ugly (obviously) and although that can add to their appeal, I only want to collect the models that appeal to me (I know painting ooze, puss and disease is fun for many people, but not what draws me to the hobby, though I can appreciate their work). I might (big maybe) expand @ 2000 and go with some Tzeench, as Flamers/Screamers might be good, as maybe Fateweaver. But, I'm still just thinking going Mono-Khorne for now.

I suppose I could consider Skulltaker ... With the crazy instant death he can inflict, and his mounts he seems pretty good. Expensive for what he does, yes, but his Skulls for the Skull Throne skill looks awesome. Also ... I have to wonder if the Bloodcrusher Mount or the Chariot are better now. The chariot seems pretty good as it's 15 points less and he gets +2 wounds, though he cannot join squads anymore. I wonder if the new chariot rules apply to the Demonic Chariot, probably, I gotta check on that.

Also curious as to if they have a model for it, some converting would be underway if I had to Kitbash to make it work.

Edit:

Oooh, Chaos Demons have lots of new models out ... I like that I've started to collect an army that may be getting an update soon ...

Skulltaker on a juggernaut, definitely. When I take him, I usually give him a full squad of crushers as a retinue. He pretty much auto-wins any challenge, unless the opposition has eternal warrior.

Sounds like I'm gonna take Skulltaker on a Juggernaut, and Some Fleshhounds (at least 5), as I'm modelling my army for both Game types(magnetizing models to bases) and I hear Fleshhounds are ok in 40k but rock in Fantasy, as Bloodcrushers are ok in Fantasy and rock in 40k. Plus, Skulltaker just looks like fun.

i'll probably tone back on the FMC's as I played against a Nurgle Demons List with my Marines, and then Watched the same list play against Dark Eldar, and the Demon Prince was the first model to die in both games (and Nurgle's obviously harder to kill with +1 T). I'll still bring 1 for sure, but Not so sure on 3 at this point, They might die really easily @ T5.

Here's an updated list @ 1850. Although 2 Bloodthirsters still looks tempting, I thought I'd try a little more Infantry here.


Skulltaker list/Moar Infantry!

175 - Skulltaker - Juggernaut Mount
255 - Bloodthirster - Blessing of the Blood God
355 - 8 Bloodcrushers - Fury of Khorne, Chaos Icon
234 - 14 Bloodletters - Fury of Khorne
243 - 13 Bloodletters - Fury of Khorne, Chaos Icon
223 - 13 Bloodletters - Fury of Khorne, Instrument of Chaos
205 - Demon Prince - Daemonic Flight, Iron Hide, Unholy Might, Mark of Khorne
160 - 10 Fleshhounds - Fury of Khorne

Ok, here's roughly twice the number of models on the board, adding in some new model ideas. Interesting to note I can basically exchange squads of bloodletters for a demon prince, if I still want to run 3, but as I want to run this in WFB and you can't really use as many big creatures like that as in 40k due to their organization, probably going to shift my collection's focus to bring more troops. Probably at least 40-bloodletters, and some Hounds for variety (Plus I'm told they're good).

EDIT: List was edited once, as my excel document had an error in calculating the points total and allowed me an extra 175 pts. Darn budget army builder.

If I may ask ... the reason? More Scoring units? I kinda want the units to be resilient to some shooting. Also, your opinion on Mark of Khorne, Chaos Icons, etc.
