Up against a guy playing a (faction unknown) tourney list and trying to think of ways to make a fairly competitive list. Wanted to run the hell forged hunting pack but 1750 is about 100 pts short from what I really want to have in it.

There's a fair amount of speed, the 3 troop choices to grab backfield objectives and obviously the hope of getting invisibility onto the Bloodthirster as soon as possible! I'm not expecting multiple knights, so hopefully have enough anti tank. Main thing I'm worried about is that it feels a bit eggs in one basket, with Belakor and the thirster taking up a fair chunk of points and Belakor not able to benefit from the blood tithe.

if you want to run the hellforged pack i suggest taking a minimum blood host and then maxing out on warmachines

Hope to be able to in the future, but at the moment my other machines are Drakes and Blood Slaughterers with another Maulerfiend on the way at some point.

I've been doing some testing with thirsters lately and I'm really starting to like the wrath thirster.

What I do is fly him the first couple turns doing whip attack (or flame breath) + vector striking to keep him alive, and when the hounds have engaged/tarpitted the things that can take him out then land him.

I find the big problem with the insensate one is that he attacks last - this is very bad against anything that can hurt him. He is also useless in the sky since he has no 'shooting' weapons.

I also ran a houndstar with a lord with goredrinker+power sword+melta bombs and 15 hounds that was basically invincible. It is just too many 5++ wounds to have to chew threw.
