Hey everybody,

As the title says, this is my first attempt at a list since 6th edition. At the end of sixth, I had wonderful success running a variety of this list using Khorne Daemonkin. I wanted to make my return using a similar mindset of assault, distraction carnifexes, and speed. My FLGS allows up to three detachments, so I wanted to utilize that to its fullest. Almost everything is made to move into position really quickly and deal with a number of threats. Since I have not played a game of 8th, please feel free to critique or point out mistakes for making the list. I have not finalized the artifacts/Traits/Legion I plan on taking, so suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Ok, first things first. Knights are trash. They are too expensive for what they do unfortunately. Second, shooting is king in this edition. Cultists are insane at it. The setup you go with is a unit of like 30+ cultists mark of slaneesh with a Chaos sorcerer to cast delightful agonies and a Chaos lord for rerolling 1s. Marking them slaneesh also allows you to use the endless cacophony stratagem which allows you to shoot a second time.

Then for your melee you go with bloodletters because you can deep strike them 9” away and they have a 3d6 assault range. Put in a Herald and you are set to reck gak on Cc. You want to try and go for battalions because they give you 3 command points instead of 1. It is easy because all you need to fill a battalion is 2 HQ choices and 2 troops choices.

Also mauler fiends are bad. If you want some more assault you can take Kharn with 2 units of berserkers, set the detachment as Alpha Legion and you can infiltrate your breakers 9” away and they can attack up to 3 times in CC. Pretty stupid.
