Taking inventory of my Khornate units, I realised I'm still missing some elements to the army. I also recently obtained a second Bloodthirster (sale at a local gameshop) and are getting two or three boxes of Bloodcrushers. Currently however the army is pretty pisspoor in terms of actual combat. I have a better time winning a coin toss, as if I dont get into combat fast enough I get womped out of existance by enemy shooting. it's likely due to the lack of Bloodcrushers in my army (all of my guys die easily to mass dakka firing). Again, as with my Tzeenchan army, it's against mainly fire prism/aspect Eldar, Necrons, Mech Marines, and Biker Boyz in Annhilation. Here's the lists:

In the two larger lists I can change out the Bloodletters for Crushers if need be. I can also switch out the Soul Grinder for more Letters or Crushers as well. Being a pure khorne list, I rely on the Grinders to provide me with the firepower I would otherwise be lacking.

tiny bumb since I got no feedback whatsoever....

In the 2000 point list, I would make the bloodletters six squads of 5. This gives your a more favorable daemonic assault number, and gives you more scoring units. It also makes your opponent divide fire more in order to kill all of your troops.

I'll do that thanks. However I am kinda concerned that the Daemons might not make it into battle if their reserve rolls are poor.

something to consider when taking small squads of fearless units- if they do loose combat then they have to take a separate fearless check for each squad

I guess it'll depend on the confrontation then. Bloodletters shouldnt loose combat anyways due to the high amount of attacks and Powerweapons they have. But if I face Nids or Eldar Aspect Warriors I'll join em together again to get some omph going.
