I am planning on taking a Khorne Daemonkin list to a local tournament coming up in a few weeks and I was looking for any comments or thoughts on this list.

Blood Host Formation

Slaughtercult
135 - Chaos Lord with Axe of Ruin
32 - Spawn
32 - Spawn
185 - Posessed with Rhino
184 - CSM with Rhino, CCWs and a Flamer
105 - Bloodletters with Bloodreaper and Banner of Blood

Gorepack
96 - Bikers with 2 Meltaguns
96 - Bikers with 2 Meltagums
80 - Flesh Hounds
80 - Flesh Hounds
80 - Flesh Hounds

War Engines
130 - Maulerfiend
130 - Maulerfiend
135 - Soulgrinder

The strat will be to scout up the Hounds. Then send bikes and Maulerfiends at vehicles.
Lord will hang out with Bloodletters who will hang out midfield in cover until I can turn him into a Daemon Prince and get a free Bloodthirster. Spawn will camp own objectives.

Does this sound effective and any ideas on ways to make it better?

List looks sound

I wonder if it would be worth deleting one of the flesh hound units in order to put an upgrade on the Grinder (preferably Phlegm Bombardment) and a Rhino for the CSM. If you were to go with phlegm and a rhino, you would have 10 points left over, meaning you could add one more bloodletter to that unit. The Rhino would help the CSM get where they are going faster, and although it is not very resilient it can protect your guys as they move up the field (the enemy has to first kill the metal box before they can shoot the marines inside). Otherwise the list looks pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback. I double checked the list and points and a Rhino was in the points for the CSM, but I forgot to list it. I edited the post.

Though, I will try replacing one unit of hounds for some upgrades and see how the two compare.
