After a terrible defeat using my CSM & Allied Daemonkin vs Tau I decided that if I'm going to fight this uphill battle I might as well just go full Khorne and hope he protects me as I get into CC.

Drop three talons, give the. Lord the blade of endless bloodshed for the BT point, if you need points to get. One or two groups of cultists to max out on the champ morphing into a BT and the BT points for even using them as meat shields... If needed to free up the points drop a few raptors or 5 flesh hounds (which I would keep because the here pack is beast!)
