I have been trying to find a build using Khorne bikers but I cant seem to find any

From what i have read they have a ton of assault capability but i have yet to see any build for them or a youtube video with them fielded.

Has anyone out there seen anybody playing them or have a potentially semi competitive list for them? or do they just suck and that why i cant find anything on them

It mostly boils down to Khorne is okay, but Nurgle and Slaanesh are so much better.

Mark of Khorne isn't anywhere near as good as it used to be (it used to be a generic +1A, now it gives rage and counter attack.) So it only works in the first turn of combat and it only works on a charge and the unit can only have a Mark of Khorne Lord.

But MoK lords would much rather have Spawn body guards, because they are cheaper.

The gorepack formation from KDK is what you're looking for. Take in a slaughtercult and spend remainder of points on either soul grinders or Kharn, min cultists and heldrake allies.

You're asking why a unit with minimal shooting (jinking is required to survive and jinking means minimal shooting) in an edition that highly favours shooting heavy armies. Bikes are good, if you can get them as troops, otherwise, there are often better things to spend points on.

You don 't even really need a slaughtercult.

Combo it with other formations, or .. well cherry pick good support units.

Slaughtercult turns them into Astral Claws bikers, Move Through Cover but now with other offensive buffs instead of survivability ones. Not as good as White Scars, but a decent unit to make an army from. But, a single Bike squad will always be better as Nurgle.
