in your experiences what have you found in forge world that synergises well with khorne daemonkin?

**Dozer Blades**

Typhon and Greater Brass Scorpion.

**CrownAxe**

Well since KDK only have the chaos knight and Krytan as FW units I'll say those are the best

ITC allows the GBS.

Not as a KDK Lord of War choice.

The link is for the Chaos LoW choices for ITC.

And if you aren't playing ITC, the kytan is probably number 1.

FW has also answered email queries by saying anything that can be taken by daemons and/or dedicated to Khorne can be taken by Daemonkin, but no word on whether or not they get Blood for the Blood God or trade Daemonic Instability for Fearless.

I know some people refuse to accept such answers, but the rest of us have more options.

I haven't really tried anything yet but I'm looking forward to using the Fist of Khorne formation for some turn 1 assaults and with any luck, drop the D. This uses a Kharybdis, which is a FW unit. Overall it's still a ton of points but may allow the rest of the army to close the gap relatively unscathed. Sounds fun, if nothing else.

Blood Slaughterers are another one I will use (still have to build them) but compete with Maulerfiends. Still, Impalers are too cool not to mess with. Against MC with poor saves I think they will rock.

The dreadnoughts are all lame or overpriced, so nuts to them.

I like the idea of the giant spawn, but they're slow. Still, for 80 points they could have their uses.

Brass Scorpion brings some decent shooting, but is pretty pricey. The Kytan is awesome but overpriced. I think the Knight of Khorne is the most realistic/worthwhile option we have for SH. Anggrath is a joke and looks horrible IMO, so he may as well not exist.

Taking an allied CSM detachment of Kharn, cultists and an FW dreadclaw. Putting Kharn and a unit of KD bloodletters in said dreadclaw. The bloodletters are much cheaper than berzerkers and have AP3 hellblades. The T3 on the bloodletters is mitigated by the Dreadclaw being an assault vehicle. The points difference between berzerkers and bloodletters covers the cost of the cultists and you get an objective secured cultists unit in the bargain. Kharn and 9 bloodletters assaulting out of a claw can put a big dent in a lot of units. And anything they kill racks up blood tithe due to the KD bloodletters.

That doesn't say KDK can take the Brass Scorpion. It just says which Chaos LoWs are legal. You still have to follow your codex for unit entries.

Or are you also going to argue that Chaos Daemons can take a Fellblade?

**Dozer Blades**

Not even worth arguing.

Because you don't have an argument. You're just reading what you want to hear.

Sorry for threadymancy, couldn't find never post with quick look.

Found this from Heresy Online:

Hello, I have a rather simple question here and I couldn't see an answer anywhere but to me the thing is glaringly obvious though until it is put up in print by yourselves it seems my friends (some of them are rules lawyers) deny me.
Basically could we have a list of the Forge World things that are usable by the new Khorne: Daemonkin book. Or at least a blanket "Anything Khorne from FW is allowed by Khorne Daemonkin"
This reared its ugly head against me when I was nicely deploying my army and threw down 3 Blood Slaughterers (though I managed to take these as a battle formation) and a Khorne Decimator. He challenged it saying I could not use them as they are Codex CSM or Codex Daemons only currently.

Of course a blanket of all the CSM or Daemon units that have been done would not work, as they can not take various tanks and things, it would be rather odd to see a relic predator for daemonkin when they do not get a normal predator. But as said the Titans, Blood Slaughterers, Contemptor, Decimator, Brass Scorpion, An'ggrath, Uraka & Maybe the Spartan should be allowed.
Equally as the rumour mill continues to say a Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh version of the Daemonkin Codexes will be coming later then it would be easy enough to also make a list of the models that would go with each of the respective gods to release within a week or 2 of the new Codex dropping.

If I could have an answer personally that would be great, though a release of a quick FAQ "Forge World models in Khorne Daemonkin Armies" would be even better.

Hi,
Thank you for your email. any codex updates like this for our products takes a long time to complete, as they have to fit in with the writing of new books. So, until this appears we would suggest the following -

Anything that can be taken in a codex Daemon force can be taken in a Daemonkin Army as long as it is Khorne based. Please note that this includes the Greater Brass Scorpion, as the stamp for Codex Daemons was missed off its profile.

No word about instability or if they get BftBG...
