Ok, so with the idea of using the blood host, and as many fast daemonkin units as possible.

I've gone with the crimson slaughter juggerlord, as I prefer it to the daemonkin one (2+ save is so much better)

Possessed and herald go in the Land raider, which will boost the invun saves of the maulerfiends so hopefully some will survive to connect. It also has dirge casters -woo.

Enough hounds to run disruption, bikers to cause trouble. Relying on cultists and letters to take objectives..

Could fit the Brazen rune, which is a nice way to mess up a psychic army.

Nice! I like the dirge caster land raider - might have to borrow that idea :3. 2 quick questions - do the bikers have special weapons or just a combi weapon on the champ? why the bloodletters as opposed to csm in rhino (more bloodtithe points and faster to zip around with meltas blowing up tanks/taking objectives).
Otherwise nice list!

The bikers have one special one combi weapons. Mostly because of models available and so I have one unupgraded designated first casualty up front.

I would much prefer marines in rhinos but totally ran out of points, this was supposed to be 1750 as is.

Would need to drop... Flesh hounds I guess. Plus a bit extra to flesh them out...hmm

I would drop a unit of Flesh hounds and push the other 2 units together. I would use those points for mote melta Hounds. Ranged AT (and AT in general) is the weakness of this list/the codex. For that reason I would also swap the flamer bike squad over to melta. Another issue is that you currently only have 3 characters to summon through.

Can only use an allied detachment with a CAD. Just add another cultist unit to make the CS a complete CAD and you're set.

Ha yeah. Actually I think it's just two... But was going on to focus more on the lower blood tithe results- more reliable

Pretty sure you don't need a CAD to take an allied, just a primary detachment. Which could even be a formation.

Sorry what? Why do you think this?

Does mean the Herald is stuck as the warlord.

2 biker Champs, and I was thinking Possessed Champ was thinking of CSM champs forgetting that Possessed are of course Daemons...

Or any other Character in the Bloodhost. Though Herald seems best choice by far.

Incorrect. CSM and KDK are different factions that treat each other as battle brothers. While it's technically not allowed to take a CSM Allied Detachment with a CSM CAD, it is perfectly acceptable to take a CSM Allied Detachment alongside a Daemonkin Detachment.

this looks an awful lot like how I am running the daemonkin list.

A few differences-

I prefer the CSM juggerlord with the Axe of Blind Fury. Exceptionally brutal, especially when buried in the mound of ablative wounds that is 15 hounds.

That saves you a chunk of points, especially after you drop those other 5 hounds and put the 5 in with the 10.

Other thing that I like to do is to throw more melta in the list. A couple of rhinos with Chaos space marines with meltas and havoc launchers makes a few pretty nice gunboats.

And yeah, put those meltas on the bikes!
