alright heres my personal challenge, i want to make a chaos army, either pure csm, pure demons, or an amalgam of the two. i prefer nurgle and khorn.

i can't decide if i want to do csm primary so i can run double heldrakes, or if i want demons primary for double thirsters and soulgrinders.

i have any and all models you can possibly put in either list.

so im thinking the following from my personal tastes are th best from both books.
thirsters
heralds of khorne (probably wont ever run over a thirster)
plague bearers
bloodletters (idk if im sold on these, not bad but not great, i feel troops in both books are better serves as objective sitters, and use the other things to do the killing.)
fleshhounds
demon princes (both the csm and demon variety are good)
lord on jugger
kharn
typhus
cultist
zombies
heldrakes
spawn
obliterators
mauler/forge fiends

i have comd up with several lists using both as primary, and feel like im giving up alot from the other list.

so dakka, help?

Honestly just decide if you like the craziness of the Warp Storm table. If you do, run daemons main. If you don't, run CSM main.

I will say that having a thirster and prince as flying MCs will be wonderful, in addition to giving you a difficult-to-kill heavy support choice for big guns never tire missions. CSM prince would be only HQ.

so with demons as allies would a prince be better as hvy over a grinder?? idk points wise i think the shooting gained from a grinder is better,grinders with some forge fiends and heldrakes could be pretty good...
ill make up two rough drafts so people can see what direction im going to get an idea.
