Hello Dakka, Someone challenged my khorne chaos space marine army to a game, I'm not sure what army they play but they said they won't take anything that isn't a CAD if I don't, keeping the theme in mind I've got no Heldrakes and no Be'lakor but do you think it would still hold it's own?

So it has 5 units with 12" movement who are capable in melee and can help if it's maelstrom and khorne berserker to drown stuff in attacks, it hasn't got inivisbility or black maces but it has some fast relatively hard hitting stuff, would it work?

Spawn are pretty useless most of the time, maybe trade out for more terminators?

Looks decent to me! I think Spawn are awesome personally, Fearless with T5 and W3 makes for a nice unit to join your Juggernaut Lord to. The unit that you aren't sticking your Lord with could potentially be swapped out for something else but they could be useful to keep close to the Lord's unit for him to join in case his unit gets shot up early. Your Lord doesn't really need VoTLW, can be quite useful if you're facing marines but its not essential. If you're looking to free up some points you could lose VoTLW from your Beserkers as well as the Icons of Wrath from them and your Terminators which I assume will be deep striking in close to the enemy anyway. Maulerfiends are good but three of them.with lasher tendrils could be overkill, maybe swap one for magma cutters for extra attacks against whatever they are all tied up against.

Yeah as the duke said, the spawn are there for bodyguard hops and they can destroy wave serpents/transports in melee because enemies will be trying to destroy the maulerfiends. Additionally they move 12 so they can easily grab an objective if it's maelstrom.

So assuming I get rid of 1 lasher tendrils, 3 banners of wrath, and VoTLW what should I be swapping it out for?
The banner on the terminators gives them Str 6 on charge ap 1 attacks (4 each) and a re-roll for the charge, while the berserkers are practically useless if they fail the charge. But I do agree on the overkill on lasher tendrils, and VoTLW so where should shaved points go?

Play Khorne Daemonkin?

So following the suggestion of filch I've written another list instead for Daemonkin.

So keeping in mind I don't actually own the Hounds, BT, more than 1 Maulerfiend if there's a more viable choice tell me please

Chaos Lord, Juggernaught, Blood-forged armour, Lightning Claw, Powerfist, Melta bombs, Sigil
Daemon Prince, Goredrinker, Daemonic Flight, Warp forged armour

8 berserkers, IoW, LC champ, melta-bomb, rhino with dozer
8 berserkers, IoW, LC champ, melta-bomb, rhino with dozer

15 flesh hounds
5 flesh hounds
5 flesh hounds

Maulerfiend

Quick questions about the list:
1) should I swap relics on the HQ's?
2) should the jugger be warlord because of ablative wounds?
3) because the DP has the same price as an un-upgraded BT should I use him for bloodtithe and start with a BT?
4) is this KDK list better with summoning or army wide buffs?
5) should I be scouting my flesh hounds?

thanks in advance
