OK dakka, I am literally obsessed with the new Daemonkin book. I'm trying to write a fun fluffy list that can also handle itself pretty well.... Never thought I'd get the chance to say that about a Khorne army....

Blood Host Detachment

Slaughtercult

Chaos Lord - Axe of ruin, sigil of corruption, Juggernaut. Warlord
8x Bezerkers - Champion has lightening claw, Rhino
8x Bezerkers - Champion has lightening claw, Rhino
5x Possessed

Daemon engine

Maulerfiend, lasher tendrils

Daemon engine

Maulerfiend - magma cutters

Combined Arms detschment (still KDK)

HQ - Bloodthirster of Insensate rage

Troops - 8 cultists
Troops - 8 cultists

Fast attack - Heldrake
Fast attack - 10x flesh hounds

Heavy support - Land Raider.

The idea is simple. Lord joins the hounds. Possessed in the land raider. Pretty much everything moves maximum distance turn one. Hopefully a Rhino or two get popped. Some units make a turn 2 charge (Lord almost guaranteed thanks to scout, thirster, maulers and possessed maybe)

Rest makes combat by turn 3.

Blood flows.

List looks sound. pretty much what I arrive at when trying to make a blood host. Personally I would cut almost everything unnecessary to get maximum hounds, as they Will be shot at a LOT, and you're warlords in there, but you pretty much have..

Although, trying to psych your opponent out, by saying - kill my warlord, face a bloodthirster - might work.

I would recommend Berzerker melta-bombs, but I guess that is just my taste because walkers sometimes come up and they are really annoying.

Do people think that this list has the capability to deal with an imperial knight? The idea would be to run both maulerfiends and the BT at it as fast as possible in the hope that at least two would hit it...
