I can't decide between a bloodthrister or a keeper of secerts as my second HQ paired with fateweaver, my list has 3 winged MON princes so maybe the wings on the thrister isn't need, but that 4 MC just is awesome and can wreck landraiders like its nothing. Also, I almost always have the ultimate deathstar with 4 MC and 8 crushers next to fateweaver when I DS and just kill everything in my path. I have tried the KOS once and he did really well, but I can't stand it when I don't get the charge, with the thrister I get a turn 2 charge everytime.

Please Comment on which you prefer and tactics.

keeper of secrets. dont even bother looking at the thirster.

from what I can see you all ready have a big enough beat stick and the thrister is just over spending so go with the keeper. not that you shouldnt any way, fleet, bounce out of combat and a stupidly high I and number of attacks.

I'd go with the BT with Blessings due to the amount of Grey Knight players there are nowadays. Also, his Iron Hide combined with Fateweaver makes him more resilient than the KoS.

Thats what im thinking to... the iron hide will work well with fateweaver, also he is faster, which is what I need.

'E is got wings 'e does. thats the kicker for me. And it came down to that by thinking "what would I do against a KoS/thirster..." and I can think of all sorts of shenanigans to block a KoS from charging stuff. Wings flys over it.

Not putting down the KoS, definitely one of my top choices for daemon HQ's, its a monstrosity (no pun intended ). It the wings that sold me.

Is the GUO a better deal for his price?

oh dear god no. that thing is waaay too slow to get into combat

if you want a GUO then go for kugath as he atleast has a shooting attack to make up for loss of doing anything

GUO is fantastic in lower point games. At 1000 points or less virtually nothing can touch him. He can struggle to reach combat against fast armies like DE but if you place him properly when you deep strike your opponent shouldn't be able to avoid him.

Once you get to higher point games the HQ slot he takes up is just too valuable. Some of our strongest units are HQ (fateweaver, bloodthirster, tzeralds) so you want to get as much mileage out of those two spots as possible.
