Hey all, This is the list I've managed to come up with for a competitive Khorne-ish list for 8th edition. please let me know any feed back!

Battalion Detachment (+3CP)
HQs
Daemon Prince w/Wings, 2x Malefic Talons (tossing up between Khorne or Nurgle for Psychic powers and FnP)
Dark Apostle <Khorne> <Word Bearers>
Chaos Sorcerer w/ Force Sword <No mark> <Word Bearers>

Troops
10 x Bloodletters
10 x Bloodletters
10 x Bloodletters

Elites
13 x Berzerkers, 12 /w Chain Sword and Chain Axe, Champion /w Power fist and Chain Sword <Khorne> <Word Bearers>

Fast Attack
3 x Bikers 2 x Melta Gun 1 x Combi-melta 1 x Power Sword <Khorne> <Word Bearers>

Heavy Support
5 x Havocs 4 x Autocannon <Khorne> <Word Bearers>
1 x Landraider w/ 2 x Twin Lascannons 1 x twin Heavy Bolter <Khorne> <Word Bearers>

Super-Heavy Auxiliary Detachment
1 x Renegade Knight 2 x Avenger Gatling Cannons 2 x Heavy stubber 1 x Ironstrom Missile pod

Points Total: 1998

Tactics: Dark Apostle and the Sorcerer Ride in the Landraider with the Zerkers. Apostle gives them 6" re-roll to hit bubble and Sorcerer attempts to cast Prescience on them giving them +1 to hit rolls. Bloodletters Deep strike in where ever pressure is needed. Prince moves up Behind bikers then does prince things. Bikers and Landraider target Vehicles and Havocs and Knight melt priority low armour targets. My main concern is that there is NOT enough in the list dedicated to the assault flip side is it has much better shooting then most assault based armies. Any feed back is most welcome!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I can't comment on the competiveness of the list. Just not experienced enough... In fact I'm still waiting for any feedback on my own Khornish 2000pts list (https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/731674.page). But I'd like to mention some index limitation for yours.

Land Raider can transport 10 model. So you can't fit 13 Zerkers and DA into it.
Bloodletters can't just DeepStrike all at once! You can summon them by your DP of Khorne instead of moving him. But only one unit per turn.

I have no experience with bikes but I'd like to use them. Do you think a unit of three is tough enough? I think that if they go with melta then they just come close, shoot, score one or two hits, pop nothing, then get charged by an enemy next turn and die or have to fall back. So it resemble a one-use-only melta-termicide unit from the 7th ed.

Yeah no deep strike for bloodletters any more.

You can summon them, but it's a bad mechanic, and they will no longer be your compulsory troops.
(You can set your bezerkers to world eaters to make them troop, there's not really a reason not to at the moment, as there at who word nearer rules)

Either you drop down to 9 berserkers so you can get them and the apostle into the land raider (his buff really helps them), or you work in a transport with a larger capacity (spartan, storm eagle, Kharybdis, etc). Or, you take two rhinos or work a rhino into your list. You really dont won't the berserkers to be foot-slogging and right now your landraider can't take them.
