I'm not looking to make changes to the list. Period. That being said your opinion/thoughts on the list are needed as follows.

- Which army of the imperium do you play? or would play vs this list.
- Would you defeat this list on pure brute strength? mission objectives? both?
- Can you win with your most standard list against this? Would you need to tweak your list in order to counter mine?
- What would you find most challenging to deal with in this list, what are you most concerned about?
- Which Imperium list build or units would be of major concern against this list? (i.e. War Convocation, Grav Centurions, etc)
- If you had to list the "Cons" in my list what would they be? (i.e. No Anti-Air, No Anti-Armor, Lack of Mobility, etc etc)

My Gameplan:

After several games running Daemonkin mostly speed oriented. For my 8th and final game dedicated to Khorne i want to try going ALL in from a distance and force the opponent to come to me rather than the usual run up the board and wither 1 round of shooting then assaulting turn 2 strategy that sees many of my units killed prematurely.

In this list the maulerfiend and bloodthristers are counter-assault. If 2 knights blasting away with dual avenger gatling cannons isn't enough for the opponent to bring the fight to me then I just don't know what is.

Knights in my back field their rear unassailable cultists in reserves to avoid giving up an easy first blood.
Bloodthristers in reserve swooping in or if facing an assault oriented army they'll deploy turn 1 and wait to counter assault whatever gets too close.
Maulerfiends can be deployed cover launching at anything that approaches midfield or to run and contest objectives. Alternatively they can guard the knight's rear.

Looks like it could be good. It's probably going to have problems dealing with a flying circus or a horde. A skyhammer or podding grav cents will probably put a dent in either the Knights or thirsters. Eldar may also cause issues as their bikes can easily stay away from any assault threat while peppering you with Scatter Lasers and a cc wraithknight will probably be able to take down anything in this army.

Scatter Lasers can't really hurt the knights but they'll do a number on the thristers. However the knights will do a number on anything at range no need to get close. 24 shots S6 AP3 rending per knight.

The bloodthrister can handle almost any melee threats. CC Wraithknights included. The thrister has a better chance of winning that match up.

Skyhammer and centurions are a big threat to anything in the list except maybe the cultists lmao funnily enough.
