Hi

I have a small Khorne Chaos Daemons army (see list below) that I'd like to expand using a second Chaos god. What would be the best choice? Looking for advice on units as well as gods. I want to have troop choices from both gods, and I'm aiming for about 1000 points for now.

My current models:
1 Herald of Khorne
10 Bloodletters
3 Bloodcrushers
10 Flesh Hounds
1 Daemon Prince

Also have a bunch of screamers and flamers and some nurglings, but I'm not married to them.

Hey man!

Tzeentch is definitely a great god (probably the strongest) and a good compliment to khorne. If I was you I would

Add 2 units of 10 horrors + Fateweaver/Lord of Change + make your prince tzeentch (cus khorne princes are the worst) +screamers. I'd use a bloocrusher model as a herald so he can run with the hounds and have AP2. Give your tzeentch prince grimoire and take fatey for dat juicy 2++ jeeh

If youre on a budget and dont care about winning too much heres the move


Herald of Tzeentch +Disk (take a horror and put him on a screamer)
Herald of Khorne
Herald of Khorne on a jugger (use crusher model)
Bloodletters x 10
Horrors x 10
Horrors x 10
Screamers
Flamers
Hounds
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch

Thanks

What if I do care a little about winning?

Where blood flows pestilence follows. Grandfather Nurgle ftw!

I have no input as far as an army list goes however

You mean there's other Gods beside Khorne?

What if I do care a little about winning?

If you care about winning, don't play Khorne I guess.

Goddamn codex gaks all over the god of war in favour of the ones that have magical powers. Furious charge is nothing on shrouded, re-rolled saves or crazy movement. Especially on a Daemon Prince of all things =/

Someone want to prove me wrong? Because Khorne is totes the coolest god and seeing my Daemon Prince get a piddly +1 S and my bloodletters fail so miserably compared to every other troop is getting real old lol

Mork or possibly Gork

Don't force yourself to stick with certain thematic gods at the cost of playability, make a fast multi-god army out of it, everything in their face turn 2.

Crushers, screamers, flamers, dogs and princes on the battlefield moving forward turn 1. Give the crushers an icon, give everything in reserve instruments. Rush and run them forward, deepstrike everything off the crushers turn 2.

Crushers get a bad rap but they're the fastest unit in the codex that can take icons. Use all your other fast stuff as a distraction to keep that icon bearer alive til you can drop the hammer.
Depending on what the faq says about it in a year or whenever, you can also deepstrike units off an already-deepstruck units own icon, and just hopscotch them all over your enemy's deployment zone.

Consider getting a khorne cannon so all your assaulty stuff isn't going last. Throw heralds on mounts in all your fast squads to give them some bite, and unit buffs.

Crushers ain't bad

Thats what I want to hear, got a whole bunch of them for cheap and the models are fantastic. Love to see they have a use even if it is as an icon mule

Slaanesh is a good compliment to Khorne. Their speed and rending allow them to deal with things like terminators and wraithknights/lords that khorne can't hurt or hurt effectively. I like running seekers with my hounds.
Slaanesh princes and keepers of secrets are also fantastic as well.
So even though they hate each other they compliment each other well.
