Thinking about how to make the str D bloodthirster work (read: get him into combat) and this is what I came up with:

CSM CAD:

Kharn - 160
Be'Lakor - 350

9 Zerkers - 181
9 Zerkers - 200

Fire Raptor w/balefire missiles, reaper autocannon batteries, dirge caster - 230

Chaos Land Raider w/dirge caster - 235


Daemons Allied Detachment

Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage w/2 greater rewards - 315

12 Horrors - 108



Depending on what the army is more prepared to deal with, I can put Kharn wherever. Since the pod can jink and move after it lands, Be'Lakor just needs to give shrouding to it and the thirster for a turn. Invis would be nice too, and I should have enough dice to do both fairly reliably on average. Sadly no room for grim. Maybe I should do CSM allies and have Daemons primary to get another HQ slot that can grab the grim?

yeah.. i'm facing a similar dilemma.. will need to see if the new codex gives better options..

consider the legacy of the first war of armageddon on the LR, to boost the BT inv save.

If (when) I make a list with 2 thirsters, it will undoubtedly be in there (as will the grim on one). As is, I'm not sure it's points-efficient enough without the grim since I'll only benefit with one guy and will only bring him up to a 4++, which he gets with jink anyway

true, but not in combat. and hitting last is a big weakness.
