Hello people, so I was wondering what would be good allies for KDK and which units. We all know KDK have 2 flaws :
1)Lack of numerous anti-tank
2)Lack of numerous ranged power.

I was thinking CSM plague marines and predators. What do you think of it ?

**ZergSmasher**

CSM offers many good options including (but not limited to):
Be'lakor
Obliterators
Havocs
Cypher and his formation
Juggerlord with AoBF
Marks other than Khorne on units common to CSM and KDK
Various Forge World Stuff
Chaos Daemons also offer some decent stuff if taken as allies to KDK:
Fateweaver
Grimoire of True Names
Be'lakor
Daemon Summoning (esp. Pink Horrors)
Spammable Heralds/Psychic Daemon Princes
Various Forge World Stuff
I mentioned Be'lakor twice because he can be taken as CSM or Daemons. I have run Cypher's formation with KDK before, and it worked out ok. The others I haven't really tried, other than Be'lakor at a tournament (and because I played very foolishly and got very unlucky he was a nonfactor).

I'm running:

KDK CAD
CS CAD
CD Allies

The Crimson Slaughter has some nice wargear and has better access to Forgeworld units than KDK.

**CrownAxe**

Renegades and Heretics

**Captyn_Bob**

All good suggestions here. Some good plug ins.

Kharn/cultists/land raider with dirge casters and legacy of 1st war of Armageddon or dreadclaw.(or sorcerer)

Belakor , 11 horrors.

Bloodthirster of rage, grimoire , greater rewards. Nurglings.

Renegades , mutants + lots of guns.

Vraks Purge + master of ordnance + lots of artillery.

Belakor to make the d-thirster invisible, or to make all of your FMCS shrouded so they can fly up a little safer.
