Hey All,

I'm putting together a few lists for an upcoming escalation league. The first round is at 750 points and I'm running pure KDK (One of the rules, has to be single codex). I've got two lists at 750 and I'm not sure which one would be more solid. There are bonus points for theme/story as it goes through, so I'd like to keep my Chaos Lord as a nice little centerpiece.

List 1 CAD

Chaos Lord
-Juggernaught
-Axe of Khorne
-Lightning Claw
-Sigil of Corruption

20x Flesh Hounds

8x Bloodletters
8x Bloodletters
8x Bloodletters



List 2 Blood Host Detachment

Slaughtercult

Chaos Lord
-Juggernaught
-Axe of Khorne
-Lightning Claw
-Sigil of Corruption

8x Bloodletters /w Bloodreaper
8x Bloodletters /w Bloodreaper

5x Possessed

Gorepack

3x Bikes /w Meltabomb
3x Bikes

5x Flesh Hounds

Out of the two the second looks better, maybe drop either the claw or the axe off the lord to free up some points (i suggest the claw).

Maybe swap out the bloodletters for cultists to keep points down and stick some meltas on the bikes as you're lacking anti tank. Also try to get more flesh hounds in they are awesome.

Thanks much!

The claw I was using mainly for the bonus attack and shred against weedier enemies.

I could look at swapping out one of the bloodletter units in the first list for cultists, but for the slaughtercult in the second list I can't use cultists as the obligatory troop.

I'm going to second dropping the claw in favor of melta guns on bikes. They won me my last 750 game almost single handedly.

The single extra attack is nice, but not worth the cost at this points level, imho.
