While this list is fairly standard fare for Daemons, I like it a lot. Your Bloodletter block is murderous and you have dual Siren Songs, chaff Fiends, and full-strength Flamer units.

My first gripe is your KoS's build. It's reliant on Leadership shenanigans so you'll be wanting to keep him near your BSB to benefit from the GIoD...but that forces him to support the Bloodletter horde. They don't need it. I think he'd be much more effective run as a more independent hammer with a Spirit Swallower. You'd lose a Siren Song, but he'd then be tough enough to hold up combat units on his own, which with so few blocks on the field is something Daemons really need.

Another bit I'd comment on is your Herald; it's my experience that even with Loremaster, LoLife on a L2 just isn't worth it. Its casting values, plus the cost of keeping up Throne of Vines, are too high for a support caster. Since you don't seem particularly worried about comp (That's good. I hate forced comp.) I would try Shadow or Light, both of which are extremely good all-around lores that particularly buff your core blocks. Finally, that Herald is awfully lonely with no bunker, so I would try to fit in Winged Horror since it makes him so much more mobile. As it is I can see him dying to enemy flyers or other mage-hunters too easily.

This would only add 45 points, so it'd be easy to tweak the rest to accommodate. Personally I would just lose a Flamer and a Daemonette.

don't take daemonettes in big blocks

take them in small units for flanking duties, otherwise you're wasting their attacks. Ideally say a unit of 21 in a 7 by 3 or a unit of 12 in a 6 by 2

too many heroes at the moment, you're better served with boys over toys

drop the slaanesh herald and get some more bloodletters for instance


Glory to the Twelfth! Glory to Angron!

‎"Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

—Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion's 8th Assault Company, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions
