So, hey guys...I caught the daemons bug again....this time geared towards the Lord of Skulls. I've played a pure Nurgle list for quite a while now, and have usually done really well, but in a recent game against some friends, they brought 3500 points of combined SMs and GKs, so i added 1500 more points of daemons from my (still in progress) fantasy army. Having run out of nurgle units, i was forced to take a Bloodthirster, Skull taker, and a bunch of Bloodletters. Let me just say "OH MY GAWD," Khorne always seemed a little lame to me, but seeing how they performed in 40k, i fell in love with them.

So, without further ado, i give you my proposed list... (drum roll fades out)

HQ
-Bloodthirster [275]
-----Blessing of the Blood God
-----Unholy Might

-----Unholy Might

------Blessing of the Blood God

-Daemon Prince [155]
------Iron Hide
------Unholy Might
------Mark of Khorne
------Blessing of the Blood God

-Soul Grinder [160]
------Phlegm



Daemonic Assault:
---Wave 1: Bloodletters (with Skulltaker), Bloodletters, Bloodcrushers, Flesh Hounds, Daemon Prince (w/ wings)

---Wave 2: Bloodthirster, Bloodletters, Bloodcrushers (with Icon and Herald), Daemon Prince (footslogging), Soul Grinder


Still kind of uneasy about the Soul Grinder, seeing as its got the worst DS footprint in the game...considering getting the Forge World Blood Slaughterer instead. And yes, i know i have a lot with Blessing of the Blood God, but after seeing how well (AWESOME) it did against my buddies Grey Knights....ill drop an extra 5 or 10 points for that every now-and-again.

Any tips, criticisms, or playful banter welcome.
Thanks in advance guys

Blood for the Blood God!

Skulltaker is awesome. On a juggernaut, he is even better. It give him a bit more survivability.

The soul grinder stand out imho. The only 'tank' in your army, and with a huge DS footprint. Even if it does land successfully, alot of lascannon fire is coming his way. Not to mention BS3. I try to cram in 3 DPs in a khorne list. Go crazy when you get into CC

only 6 bloodcrushers? seems a little small. But if your packing 3 DPs, skulltaker and bloodthirster, it'll have to do

This is a serious change of pace from nugle, i wish you luck
