Flesh hounds scout. The whole army up the table turn one. Bloodletters camp if necessary. All MSU for more blood tithe points. Unfettered Fury Bloodthirsters can Go after The Elite Infantry/Troops or even go after Heavy Armor since they are striking at initiative and then the D-Thirsters Roll in for the D-Strike. This will look awesome as well on the table.

Spend blood tithe points on the FNP and if necessary the summoning. Take advantage of Fearless Khorne Daemons in assault and no Daemonic Instability.

Utilize the Gorepacks to the extreme and have the meltas rush the armor. Only have two D-Thirsters in this list, maybe keep those or maybe go with Unfettered Fury Bloodthirsters to strike at initiative and spread the points out. Bloodletters are still in this list to camp out or die for blood tithes. Use BloodTithes The Same way.

I'm a big fan of the gorepack, so I'd go with list two, but I haven't gotten my hands on any bloodthirsters yet so I don't know what you'd be missing out on.

Thanks Man, I appreciate the input! Ill have to wait until CSMs get an update and hopefully new models, or Ill heavily cover some with AOS for the Bloodborne bits to have it look cool. Hopefully something great comes out when Kharn comes out next month!

You don't think it's worth the tax for slaughtercult?

I like the second list, I think you can take the CAD from daemons and drop somerhing for one greater and one lesser reward for both the Bloodthirster and take the sword for choose to attack at normal initiative or initiative 1

I do really like what the slaughter cult brings to the table with Boone of Khorne (blood tithe reward + another of lesser value) but I would be sacrificing mobility of the hounds for the possessed which I believe are just so underpowered. I guess I would make that lis like this:

CAD + Slaughtercult x2

This totals at 1830 so i have 20 its to play around with. but I am really looking to utilize all the Bloodthirsters I can because they are my favorite model, i got a ton of them already built because friends knew I was building a KDK/Khorne daemons army- they bought me like 3 of the models, and I like the lore of a KDK Warband that has made it to the big leagues, all mortals have died and now its just a bloodbath of daemons.

Thanks for the input man, I actually have another list of Daemonic Incursion specifically just Khorne Daemons where I splurge on the greater rewards and the awesomeness that is the Skullreaper on one. I like to keep my lists single faction. But that would be a really good idea i might roll with a few games to see how it plays.

I want to like slaughtercult but it's just not worth the tax I find that's less dogs you could be fielding which I find do the meat of the work. Not to mention double slaughtercult does not achieve double free blood tithe its in the faq. So doing more than one is a damn waste. Stick to your list #2 it's lean and aggressive a fuq. I have a similar list and have had good success with it

Only thing I would recommend considering. Is moving some points around removing a blood letter squad and field 3 independent spawn. I have noticed people don't like devoting a squad of shooting that them and they may not even kill the spawn. And they become a cheap nuisance for your opponent. I often keep the three together but as separate units. Not to mention when they die its a cheap blood tithe. I think they are over looked as a cheap effective unit. I never make squads larger than 2

Awesome advice thank you. I'll make sure to make that list with some spawn to race around the table. What do you think about the D-Thirster vs the BTUF? I have read a lot of reviews on D-Thirsters getting lit up before their turn to strike. Do you have better results with the D or the "Stock" Bloodthirster? If I go with the BTUF I will also have 50 more its to play around with.

I like the BTUF, it's a good unit if it doesn't stay out in gliding for long. Another thing I like about it is it's a huge model and it's scary, people like to target it and forget about some of my other units that can grab objectives or kill stuff. They'll forget that cultists can sneak around to objectives while they're pouring tons of firepower into the BT.
Gorepack is a great formation, melta bikes are great for popping transports. Plus hounds get HOW and Bikes get shred for their HOW.

Agree to all! I will see which type of bloodthirster plays well to how i am going to field them. Thanks!

I'm finding thirsters are fickle. There is a fine balance between keeping it gliding to log to avoid danger and dropping down to early and having it get melted. I feel they are necessary to provide that heavy armour cracking support kdk needs.

I have been starting to encourage my self to start landing him earlier in games. To get the point value out of it. Even if the dthirster does get shot up try to use him to put you opponent in the position that he has to make a difficult choice.

Like securing an objective or shooting the thirster
Or directing fire power away from the sea of dogs. So they can keep mopping up
