3 squads of 4 Crushers with icon,fury,and instrument.

Troops:
6 squads of 8 bloodletters

Fast Attack:

Doesn't have very just anti heavy armor but.... yeah. I was also wondering what should be fateweaver roll with? the princes of the crushers.

I also can if I wanted to get a little more anti raider and speed factor which I think my be better then the Bolts of Change princes, and drop a bloodletter squad to bring it to 5 squads and turn the princes into winged princes with iron hide and unholymight.

I'm not a huge fan of the triple Tzeentch prince /w Bolt combo.

Here's why, if someone plops down a landraider (or worse yet, two landraiders) and then focus fires your Bloodthirster, you literally have nothing that can touch it. That land raider will be able to do as it pleases, fully uncounterable, for the rest of the game.

My suggestion? Khorne Prince. Give him UM and his additional attack makes him a key helper for the BT to hunt heavy armor.

Fate crusher is a nice combo, but I agree you will get a much better return with Khorne princes. Even with them its going to be rough to eat through some of those heavy mech lists out there. And you will see them round after round in ard boyz.

As for what to drop fate weaver with, hands down the blood crushers. IMHO

Well my plan was for the hounds to go in first and tie up infantry, and the prince focus only on tanks in mech list, bloodcrusher will focus on both infantry and tanks. fateweaver mainly bolting tanks. What do you guys suggest for my first wave? Ill turn the prince into khorne prince and drop one squad of letters.

Maybe try seekers instead of one units of beasts? They move like jetbikes, so can be deepstruck farther away. Or can be a very large (size not durability) meat shield to give 4+ cover to blood letters etc.

I am meh on the Tzeentch Princes; they are par for the course for me. Bolt is essentially a missile launcher with AP1. Which is hard to cope with on the penetration roll. Heralds of Tzeentch on Chariots work just as well, and move faster for cheaper.

Perhaps one unit of Plaguebearers? Add a little durability, though less hitting power.

Btw, has anyone tried a Slaanesh Daemon Prince with Hit and Run? Or a Keeper of Secrets for that matter? I feel that might help mobility. And avoid tarpitting units. Though the main perk, frag grenades, can be taken on a Nurgle prince, which could be argued is way better.

Definitely find a use for the missing HQ slot. A Herald of Khorne on a Juggernaut or Tzeentch chariot heralds or perhaps even the Masque (to try to pull units out of cover, slowly, very slowly). I feel that would help make the list more versatile.
