Decided to try and make an 1850 point list that is heavily focused on Monstrous Daemons of Khorne. The CSM addition was mainly just so i could run another Daemon Prince and a Baledrake, and the Cultists should hopefully help with Objectives.

HQ:
Bloodthirster - 250

Daemon Prince of Khorne w/ - 265
Wings
Power Armour
The Black Mace

Troops:
10x Bloodletters of Khorne - 100

10x Bloodletters of Khorne - 100

10x Cultists w/ - 56
1x Autogun
1x Flamer

Fast Attack:
Heldrake w/ - 170
Baleflamer

Heavy Support:
Daemon Prince of Khorne w/ - 230
Wings
Axe of Khorne (From Lesser Reward)
1x Greater Reward

Daemon Prince of Khorne w/ - 230
Wings
Axe of Khorne (From Lesser Reward)
1x Greater Reward

Daemon Prince of Khorne w/ - 230
Wings
Axe of Khorne (From Lesser Reward)
1x Greater Reward

3x Obliterators w/ - 219
Veterens of the Long War

Total - 1850

Anyone's thoughts or opinions would be most welcome.

This. FMC are fun, but can be a bit OP when people optimise the list. This looks like a great middle ground between taking pure fluff and something powerful.

Lists like this are the only reason I still have my daemons, who are *this* close to being sold

No flesh hounds though? I tried them once and sold my soul to Khorne immediately. After so long of medicore assault Orks it was great to have something that could actually beat face in hand to hand

Oh god.

The one weakness of these FMC lists is they have too few troops. Lose your oblits and take more troops. Why do you need them? Your 5 FMCs and heldrake will kill everything, you need more tactical power, not more combat power. Consider getting the grimoire and throwing that on your heldrake for a 3++ save on him.

Why the one autogun?

Why would you use cultists for objective holding? If you're playing Daemons I would recommend getting Plaguebearers instead, really cheap and a 2+ cover save when going to ground with T4 , they are beast objective holders so I would replace them with plaguebearers, and why choose bloodletters of Khorne if you're not giving them the banner of blood? Consider putting those 20 extra points in both the squads of Bloodletters

I would recommend some gifts on that thirster, They're not difficult to take down, and it's not difficult to get past that 3+ save and force some invulnerable saves.
I'm with dropping the obliterators for more scoring, as well as those gifts. Plus if you take 2 greaters and a lesser, you can pair the axes and give him +1 attack for two specialist weapons

yeah, i'd definitely swap out those oblits for something better at holding objectives. TBH I think that you'll be fine with 4 DPs (including b-thirster) and swapping out the CSM DP and oblits for something to make plauge marines troops. I'd either go typhus and one squad or cheap lord and two.

I know that just going plaguebearers would probably be better in a competitive game, but Making the CSM allies nurgle would be a lot more fluffy than just having a random group of nurglites in a khorne list.

Edit: Oh, and remember that greater rewards are some of the best things in the daemons codex, and dropping 30pts elsewhere to upgrade those DPs of khorne rewards to them would go a long way.
