Hi everyone. So still not sure how this codex is supposed to be played. I'm still trying to play it CC oriented. What do you think of the following list :

Daemon Prince : Armour, Flight
Total : 220

CSM x10 : Melta x2, Icon, 8xRCCW, 2xCCW, Melta bombs, Axe of Khorne
Rhino : Combi-Melta
Total: 284

I am very frustrated with this codex. Especially with all the red tape for the artifacts and wargear. But here are some tricks I have found.

To make best use of the table plan on recycling your troops (smaller units). And protecting your HQs. Also ally in some normal CSM for help. You can add ICs to vanilla CSM units and vice versa. This way any unit with one model with the blood tithe rule in it gives you pts.

Dogs + AoBF Jugger lord.
Nurgle spawn + Jugger herald with hatred loci

id say the best units in the dex are probably

hounds (in gorepack)
wrath bloodthirster (or insensinate in some cases)
juggerlord with spawn or hounds
maulerfiends
bloodletters now with no instability
chaos bikers (in gorepack)
multiple small units (8 man cultist, 1 man spawn)

and a blood host detachment is almost a must for +1 tithe each turn

as a start i would say drop the prince and change him for a bloodthirster

it seems your list is trying to be a CSM list and ignoring the advantages of daemonkin
