Hey dakka, I've been experimenting with the black legion hounds of abbadon formation and finally decided to do it, with the exception of the knight I have all the units required, would the knight supplement this list well or do you think there are other units which would do it better?

*Hounds of Abaddon*
Chaos Lord, Axe of blind fury, Juggernaught, Sigil, Melta-Bomb
8 man CSM squad, Mark of Khorne, Icon of Wrath, Champ with Lightning Claw and Melta-Bomb, Veterans of the long war
8 man Khorne Bezerkers, Chain axes, Icon of Wrath, Champ with Lightning Claw and Melta-Bomb, Veterans of the long war
2x dedicated Rhinos with dirge casters, Dozer blades
5 man Raptors, Mark of Khorne, Icon of wrath, Champ with Lightning Claw and Melta-Bomb, Veterans of the long war

*Chaos Space marine Allied detachment*
Kharne the Betrayer
20 Cultists with Mark of Khorne

Renegade Knight with battecannon, Chainsword, Melta and Stormspear rockets

The knight is there for tank popping, and although I've never used Kharn in a blob I've heard it works pretty well. The raptors are bodyguard my lord on Juggernaught since I don't haven any bikes.

What do you guys think?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but BL & CSM are always Battlebrothers, thus no allied detachment. The only way is to make it 2x10 Cultists + Khârn in a CAD.

And, if you run a normal Knight Paladin (i.e. Battle cannon & Chainsword), maybe make it a Chaos Knight with MoK. D3 attacks on the Charge, +1 on the D-chart against MC / Gargantuan in melee (the Foe-Reaper) and reroll of stomps.

My prediction is, that Khârn will ultimately die quite early since he has to footslog across the board since it's not part of the Hounds (no Run & Charge in the same turn).

Otherwise it's a funny Army although the Knight might provoke other people to bring some cheese which can escalate quite quickly (i'm looking at you, eldar & tau).

The most fun I have had throwing dice was kharn in a full squad of 35 pistol cultists with mok... got 30 into attack phase, 120 attacks with hatred from those cultists
