Hello everyone. So I just started collecting Chaos Daemons a little while ago and now I have:
-20 Plaguebearers of Nurgle (2 standard barriers, 1 musician, 1 Plagueridden)
-3 Screamers of Tzeench
-3 Plague Drones (1 Plaguebringer)

And that's all (It's a BEGINNING list).. So now I'm wondering for the next troops choice should I go for 10 Pink Horrors, 10 Bloodletters or 10 Daemonettes? Thank you very much for all the answers.

Well you need an HQ. Another troop choice would work as well, preferably something more offensive. You've got Tzeentch and Nurgle already, so why not stick with that and get a Great Unclean One and some Pink Horrors.

The GUO syncs well with Plague Drones, since they're relatively fast and can carry an Icon to deepstrike the big guy where he needs to be. The Horrors give you another scoring unit that can hit things from range.

Another utility HQ like a herald of tzeentch would work well, either on a disc with the screamers or hanging with the horrors giving them str 6 shots.

A Lord of Change could also work well. Since you're starting small you're probably playing sub 1k games, and while Fateweaver is pretty great, he's not very economical at that level.

So.. are Bloodletters even good then? (thanks for answering by the way).

Yes bloodletters are good as they have ap 3 attacks, which is very nice. The thing we Daemons is there troops work well in big groups so you wouldnt want 10 you would want to get 15-20. I would recommend bloodletters, in fact try them all then see what you like the most. With daemons you could go a full mono list or a mix and match one, so see what ones you like the best and go with a army you like the most.

Bloodletters are the worst of our troops options. Their AP3 attacks are ok but they're slow, T3 and only have 1 attack. Daemonettes are MUCH faster, they rend so they cut through termie armor and have 2 attacks base. They're also cheaper than the letters. TRUST me bloodletters are the worst option as far as troops are concerned.
