What do you guys think of my list? Competitive? (Actually, is it playable really? I think it would be fun to do, having the 4 major lords of chaos on the field) (I know the Lord of Skulls really isn't the daemon, but... Khorne isn't available )


Magnus the Red [21 PL, 415pts]: Death Hex, Infernal Gaze, Warptime

Khorne Lord of Skulls [29 PL, 623pts]: Gorestorm cannon, Hades gatling cannon

Mortarion [24 PL, 470pts]: Blades of Putrefaction, Curse of the Leper, Plague Wind

Zarakynel [23 PL, 460pts]: Cacophonic Choir, Symphony of Pain

++ Total: [97 PL, 1968pts] ++

Is there a better choice for the Khorne selection to fit "demons"? Maybe the Forgeworld Lord of Skulls variant?

Is there a better choice for Khorne?

For khorne you could try the kytan (essentially the fw lord of skulls) who is a beast but has 1 less shooter.
Or if you have points then Angraath is always a good choice but expensive

Definetely it would be fun

Why do you dont take Weaver of Fate Fates for Magnus?
I would give him also Diabolic Strength, to bring Mortarion to 21 Attacks.
I think in some Missions some small Units, like Brimstones, colud be very heplful.

Admittedly the powers picked were just placeholders, but yes

Switching to Kytan knocks off 286 points, bringing it under 2000, but I think I would try to convince them to raise to 2050

Brutal. Out of curiosity, do you actually have all the models or is this just a theoretical list?

Were this me playing, I would forget about the Khorne guy and add some other targets: Defilers, Forgefiends, maybe some Obliterator squads. Mortarion and Magnus are going to eat units, but you don't want either of them going down to smite spam or some other mechanic. I could see Gray Knights finding a way to turf just 4 models.

I agree on the need for more, and as much as i hate to admit it, khorne is the weakest here due to high poiints amd no psychic.
Maybe swap down to the kytan or scrap khorne big guy in favour of some khorne berserkers... keep the blood god happy but give you anti inf and more targets and mobile threats too
Or just add in horrors and a changeling for a good smite battery and fill in with some helbrutes or something
Brutal either way though

Khorne is the weakest because the list includes non-Khorne characters. All Khorne or no Khorne, I guess.

To have them all in 1 army and fight amongst them selfs.. demon admonesty where are you now ....

Yeah khorne is certainly stronger when its mono-khorne, we dont want no dirty psykers in our ranks i still think some berserkers wouldnt go amiss here though, there are a real blender when used well... plus you can always use more killing, maiming and burning in any chaos list
