looking for some help going to 2k with the following list:

csm primary

be'lakor 350
10 cultist 50
10 cultist 50
heldrake flamer 170
heldrake flamer 170

doc ally
bloodthirster , 2x greater 290
10 plague bearers 90
20 fleshhounds 320
demon prince DoK, armor, wings, grimorie, axe of khorne- 260

that's 1750

what would you add to get to 2000?

**Elric Greywolf**

A Lord of Change is pretty much always a better choice over a Bloodthirster. See my tactics article for some reasoning.

You might also consider Horrors instead of Plaguebearers: Horrors can get mostly the same cover saves as 'bearers (with G2G), and they can shoot. (And with a Psychic phase added to 7e, having more psykers to generate Warp Pool dice is good for Be'lakor.)

Get some Bloodcrushers, maybe? Having two CC units will ensure that one of them stays alive, and it looks like you only have the Elite slot open on the Daemons list.

Or you could add in some Oblits, since you're really lacking in firepower.

with demons as the ally here, is fateweaver wasted? would he make abetter choice as the demon hq?

i love crushers, but my god they're awful! what about beasts of nurgle, or fiends?

**Elric Greywolf**

Yeah, Fiends would be fun.

Fatey's re-roll is a powerful thing in any list. And knowing so many powers makes him very versatile. But if you're thinking of a 'thirster, then that means you want a CC monster, which Fateweaver definitely is not.
I'd say LoC and Tzeentch DP for CC abilities; otherwise, Fatey is a decent choice, if only to control the Grimoire a bit better.
