General strategy is to manipulate the warp storm with Fateweaver to try and spawn as many extra units and with the portal from the Bloodthirster. Furies are meant to tie up units that could be troublesome to myself such as deathstars. Soul Grinders act as AA or anti infantry while being really resilient. Objective is to swarm the enemy with as many units as possible.

110 bases + 2 FMCs and 3 Grinders. Pretty decent showing in the wound count.
Would it not benefit some of your bigger blobs to swap one of the FMCs for a couple of heralds though?

Yeah it could but the Bloodthirster is a hard hitting unit that can drop the portal mid field and then wreak havoc in their lines. Plus he is another answer to flyers if needed.

Looks pretty solid to me. Thats a lot of wounds on the table, with plenty of heavy hitting units too. I usually take 2 greater rewards on my Greater Daemons to (hopefully) make them more survivable, but the portal could be pretty handy. Was thinking about trying furies out myself, they look like they could be a pretty promising unit for their points.

The problem with furies is they have such low leadership. If they lose combat, they will die in droves. You really need to run their large squads with heralds to give them a reasonable leadership. I guess if you really just don't care at all, they are a mediocre tarpit for cheap.

Which is exactly all they are going to be used for. Forty of them will last awhile and should take down a few models here and there. Once in able to get into a better position or take out support units then I can deal with whatever they are tying up. After reading some topics on the forums I decided to revamp the list a little bit. I changed two of the Soul Grinders to MoS w/Baleful torrent and gave the Bloodthirster a Greater Reward so he can become even more tough. The MoS SGs will run forward very quickly presenting two more threats and can roast hoards with the baleful torrent. I decided to keep one MoN w/Phlegm just in case the baleful torrent isn't cutting it and I really need the AP3.

I would definitely take one Herald of Khorne on a Crusher in a furies squad with the mark of Khorne.
