Hi All,

I've been toying with another list idea, this one is designed to show that Khorne is the true melee king! Any feedback for improvements would be greatly appreciated. I'd like this to be competitive!

FYI all of my swearing got edited to weird words xD

How It Works

So, if I have first turn (which is more likely than not because of the legacy), all of the World Eater units move forwards with their 2d6 movement, whilst the hounds scout. The chaos marines and havocs can grab objectives, so can the spawn if necessary. All of the bikers and the spawn then move their standard 12 inches, then if the bikes are within range for melta they'll take some shots at vehicles. The hounds will run, and so will the bikes if not shooting or within charge range. The lord and his bikers will get an extra 3 inch range plus the 3 inch more from movement phase, so they should charge in comfortably (especially with charge rerolls).

Then it goes as expected, charge and kill. Bloodletters and termies deep strike in, blood tithe is used to buff units with fnp or +1 attack, or summon in more hounds or letters.

If I don't secure first turn, then Ill cling to cover and LoS blocking terrain as much as possible with scout and 2d6 movement. The flesh hounds can screen (which stacks with jink??) for a 2+ cover save on the bikes (5+ interfering and the 4+ from jink).

Pros

- Mobility
- Board control
- Melee
- More units than able to destroy in time (and can regenerate with tithe)
- Ten melta's and 6 melta bombs on v fast units will scare the gak out of tanks
- Decent anti psyker with adamantium will on all world eaters and collar of khorne on hounds
- Alpha strike armies will be dropping into a murder pit of khornate bloodshed and untold terror (even terminators aren't safe from so many fething s5/s6 attacks)
- Obsec for everyone in the warband

Cons

- Not much shooting
- Opponent might cry
- No anti tank outside of bike units (savvy opponents might target them if they can)
- Flyers and fmc's will laugh as bloodletters desperately throw hellblades at them (aka theres feth all anti flyer)
- Literally everything is fearless and has furious charge (meant for the pros section lol I'm tired)

Have I missed anything? Any areas of improvement?

Cheers

FYI: Jink does not stack like that. They are two different cover saves. You pick which one you want to use. 5+ for models in the way OR 4+ from jink.

Looks like a really solid list to me. that possessed tax hurts so much! 150 points! If you didn't have to take them you could almost fit in a Bloodthirtser :(

Just ditch the slaughtercult and get more butcherhorde. It's not like they have much synergy with your list.

Why is opponent might cry listed as a con? :p

I agree with Bob. The slaughtercult isnt really serving any purpose here. Also just go with axes on the termies.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but since the the FAQ only 1 Relic per Character, thus no Gorefather & Talisman on 1 Character.

But yeah, ditch the Slaughtercult & Lances on termies - add some more CSM squads of 5. These guys, especially in the Butcherhorde, do pretty much all the heavy lifting.
