Ideas for a pure khorne army. Really want to run the scorpion.

First wave of scorpion bloodcrushers and warptalons all deep striking (and the Herald I guess?)
Second wave of houndsand bezerkers and juggerlord

Really want more CP....

I would trim the talons down and adjust the berzerkers to have all axe/sword plus whatever on the champion, power fist is good or power axe(my favorite). You may need to trim a bloodcrusher as well.

Kitting out the bezerkers is desirable. They did get trimmed to fit everything.

hmmm I guess 3 bloodcrushers saves me a CP for DS. But lose out on punch.

Then again I only wanted the banner for boosting charge range, which actually doesn't help that much compared to the locus. And costs a CP which isn't worth it on a small unit.

Decisions Decisions.

I would not build lists under the assumption that anything outside of the Daemons Codex can deep strike. - Breaking news from the world of ITC - https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/60/733325.page#9779234

Yeah, there is some confusion on this topic but I would not come to the LVO assuming I could use Daemon strats on anything other than units that were Daemon Faction units.

I would assume if I was a Daemon player that a Daemon FAQ would be coming out quickly on the heels of the Daemon book as has been the case with other Cdoex releases. We will look to them to answer these questions but no, I would not plan on deep-striking (or any other similar uses of stratagems) Magnus, Mortarion, the Lord of Skulls, etc. with the Daemon codex. Again, we will look to GW for official answers but as friendly advice, that would be what I would say to anyone thinking about bringing that to the LVO.

The Frontline Gaming guys know whats in the pipeline, and they have hinted before when NOT to do something, and shortly after an FAQ came out nerfing whatever thing they were hinting at not to do. So this changes pretty much everything about the interaction between the Daemons Codex and CSM Daemons. We'll have to wait two weeks before it's official, but since Reece is saying to not do it, we can pretty safely assume it will be nerfed.

Well damnit. I knew That, but assumed the scorpion was a daemon unit. Didn't realise it was legion. Pah.
