So this is a Bloodthirster bomb list that should generate 3 BTs as soon as it gets to 8 blood tithe. Here's the list:

BLOOD HOST

SLAUGHTER CULT
Lord: bike, power fist, Kor'lath 180
Berzerkers: Axe of Khorne, melta bombs, Rhino 232
Berzerkers: Axe of Khorne, melta bombs, Rhino 232
Possessed; Rhino; combi melta 195

WAR ENGINES
Maulerfiend: lasher tendrils 140
Maulerfiend: lasher tendrils 140

CAD
Blood throne: exalted locus 155
Blood throne: exalted locus 155
Cultists: 58
Cultists: 58
Spawn: 32
Spawn: 32
15 Flesh hounds: 240

So that's 7 fast moving combat units, plus 3 units in Rhinos. Once I get to 8 blood tithe the fun begins, I get a Bloodthirster, using the Slaughter Cult option I also get a Daemon Prince, sacrificing my Lord. He dies thus the axe gives me another Thirster whilst the Prince retains the axe giving me yet another Thirster when he dies . 3 MCs being thrown into my opponents face.

Issues are obviously with AT. Without taking Insensate Thirsters Knights are going to cause me problems though the Lord punches a Knight potentially 6 times at S8, if the Maulers got to strike (say putting both into the same Knight) they can cause pain particularly if supported by the loci. If only the Forgefiend wasn't so hideously overcosted with the Hades.

Good luck with init 1 lord getting cc attacks vs knights. Not with how few wounds he has.

Why would his wounds make a difference? I'd put all the Knights hits through the flesh hounds. The Maulers aren't too bad against Knights either as they only get 1 attack if I charge. However yes Knights cause this list an issue, as I stated.

Slaughter Cult's free Blood Tithe reward has to be 4 points or lower so you can't summon a prince with it.

Also this isn't scary as both bloodthirsters are the mediocre basic version so are easy to kill and don't do that much damage. Then you have to deep strike both of them within 6" of the lord and his unit making it easy to mishap, especially the second bloodthirster since there is now a giant FMC near the Lord too. Also they arrive deep striking so arrive swooping and can't change modes until next turn so won't get to assault for two turns meaning the earliest you can assault with both of them is turn 4 and that's only if you got 8 points by turn 2.

Yeah.. good in theory.. in practice ...not so much.

I know how summoning works and its limitations. The idea was 3 MCs in a turn to pressure the opponent. Reading fail on my part. Oh well back to double Insenate Rage Thirster and Dogstar .
