u dont have to pay -1cp cause the skullreavers comes from your warlord detachment so it's free. for 100 pts... maybe get some korne hounds 6-7 of them for some extra psychic protection, i would take out power fist on Berzy champion, for me better power axe or lightningclaws, with the saved points you can put some extra hounds.

The Bloodthirster is my warlord and the Armor of Scorn is his relic. The Demon Prince has a gift of chaos and the Dark Apostle does, too.

You guys thinks Flesh Hounds would be better than a Skull Cannon? I actually have Flesh Hounds I could use... and those were the guys I had in the list originally before I removed them with the thought "I have more anti-psychic than I need..."

I dropped 3 Bloodletters and squeezed in 8 Flesh Hounds. I'm a little disappointed my Bloodletters are no longer a multiple of 8, but I think losing the fists on the champs is a bad idea and I had no other options. Only other option was taking 6 Flesh Hounds... which is heresy... or taking 5 and being 28 points under.

oh yes sorry didn't notice the armor...
for me hounds would be better, I use often berserkers never found useful the power fist, always gave the champion chainsword and power axe.

So my battle went well. Nothing that I wanted to do happened, but it went well nonetheless.

The Flesh Hounds were nice and useful, I suppose. He had 3 casts per turn and I had 3 denies per turn. Not sure if the hounds were necessary, but I definitely like them over the ugly skull cannon. Plus shooting is for cowards! C'mon GW... get your fluff right.

Death Guard forces:

Demon Prince w/ Suppurating Plate (murdered my Demon Prince, but was killed by my exalted champion!)
Plaguecaster
Chaos Lord in termie armor (killed by zerkers)
5 terminators (killed by bloodletters)
10 poxwalkers (reluctantly killed by zerkers)
2x7 plaguemarines (killed by demon prince and zerkers)
blight hauler (tarpitted by 10 bloodletters)
plague crawler
another blight hauler (killed by bloodthirster)
2 blight drones (killed by zerkers and 10 bloodletters)
helbrute (killed by zerkers)
Plague surgeon

Those power fists sure came in handy! My berserkers fight too many vehicles to give up their power fists. Plus, they will forever be my swiss army knife that I use to crack open anything and everything, so I do plan on keeping those 4 s10 attacks.

What did you deep strike and what did you run up the board? How long did your Slaughterer live?

I actually quite like the list.

I assume the big blood letter unit is in deep strike reserve and will only come in turn 2. So turn 1 is basically the Rhinos charging up the board. Then turn 2 is when the blood letters come down and everything charges.

I know its not as thematic, but from a more board control point of view, if you think having that locus benefit is quite so crucial, you might want to consider having a general chaos daemon batalion instead and having nurgling swarms instead of the two small blood letter units. The reason is that I think they might actually be more resilient than the the small blood letter units, and more importantly, nurgling swarms are scouts, so they can deploy 9 inch away from your opponent deployment zone. You need to claim some of that premium board space so that your big blood letter bomb has good places it can deep strike down on.

Otherwise, if you play a chaff heavy list which likes spread out to cover a lot of the board, you might find your blood letters deep striking near your own deployment zone even in turn 2. Of course, the downside is that then you won't have the pure Khorne theme.

I play Khorne - nothing more, nothing less. I also prefer very little to no firepower. Khorne says ranged combat is for cowards and he blesses his devout followers with bloody victory. I organize my army in units of 8 or their multiples, I run only Khorne units, and I avoid ranged combat. In exchange, Khorne blesses my dice.

25 Bloodletters deep struck on turn 3. Bloodslaughterer died on turn 2 and never did anything.

I deployed 10 bloodletters far on each flank. I put 3 rhinos in the center of my deployment and put the Bloodthirster there, too. I put the hounds in front of the demon prince on my left flank and the bloodslaughterer even further to the left.

My opponent gave me the first turn because he wanted me to move into charging range. I don't know if that was an unwise decision on his part or not. He has very little long-range firepower.

Everything moved forward. My rhino on the right flank moved too close to his helbrute and was charged the next turn. My rhinos split up, 2 on the right, 1 on the left. On the left my bloodthirster joined the rhino. The hounds headed towards my center with the rhino and thirster. My prince and bloodslaughterer headed to a position to charge turn 2.

He shot stuff on his turn. He killed 6 of the 8 hounds. He miscasted on his demon prince's smite. I dispelled his sorcerer's smite. He almost killed my rhino and then did kill it with the helbrute in the fight phase. He severely hurt my bloodslaughterer, bringing it to 2 wounds left, which became 3 on my turn. He did a wound to the bloodthirster. He moved his poxwalkers to where my bloodthirster wanted to go and now I had no good places to go with the thirster.

On my turn 2, from left to right... My 10 bloodletters charged his blight hauler on a hill where they fought for the entire game doing nothing. My blood slaughter and demon prince charged 7 plaguemarines. My hounds charged his sorcerer. My exalted champion charged his plague surgeon. My khorne berserkers charged his pox walkers... they were in the way and there was no other way through. My bloodthirster flew to the right flank and charged his plague drones and blight hauler (the other one). The khorne berserkers that had their rhino blown up charged the helbrute. The other berserkers got out of their rhino and charged the plague drones with the bloodthirster. The 10 bloodletters on the right flank just moved forward.

In the fight phase... my demon prince killed all 7 plague marines and my blood slaughterer was stuck out of combat without having done anything and died in the next turn. In hindsight, I should've charged his demon prince with my demon prince (I keep forgetting wings let me charge over units) and then stuck the slaughterer in with the marines alone. The berserkers kill the pox walkers and moved into the other plague marines and the plague surgeon. The helbrute was killed. The blight hauler and 2 plague drones survived against the bloodthirster and berserkers, though they took heavy damage and would die in the next fight phase.

On his turn 2, pretty much everything was dead or in combat. But Death Guard is wicked. He killed my blood slaughterer with his plague crawler. Using Nurgle's Rot and a smite (didn't dispel it this time) he killed all the berserkers in combat with his plaguemarines. He only had 1 marine left with a power fist in his second squad.... and now all of the berserkers were dead, leaving my Demon prince and champion alone. He charged and killed my demon prince with his. My exalted champion killed his demon prince! He deep struck his terminators and terminator lord separately and into poor places. He had no where useful to go. I had pushed so far into his area that he could not even fit in his own deployment zone. His blight drone flew out of combat and sniped my dark apostle from an inch away. My bloodthirster and zerkers killed the hauler and moved forward. His terminators took pot shots at the rhino and then I deep struck my bloodletters down and slaughtered them. My zerkers rushed his terminator lord. They failed their 8" charge twice, but he said "screw it" and picked them up and placed them in close combat. I assumed he was ready to end it, but when I killed his lord in melee before he could fight back he was disappointed and said "I shouldn't have given you that charge." I was like... yeah, duh!

We ended the game on his turn 3 because the store was closing and the game was pretty much over.

He had:

1 Blight Hauler
Plague Crawler
Plague Surgeon
Plague Caster
Plague Marine champion with power fist

I had:

Bloodthirster
25 Bloodletters
8 Bloodletters
9 Bloodletters
5 Berzerkers
8 Berzerkers
2 Rhinos

Deployment:




I moved and he shot me, blowing up a rhino with his helbrute in the fight phase.


My Bloodthirster changes directions and the World Eaters prepare a charge.


My other flank is in the process of charging.






Demon Prince duel after the plague marines are butchered.


Hero battle


Most things have died...

That list is very similar to what I might try to run. Would you run the Bloodthirster again?

Yes! But I'm a Khorne fanboy.

On here, I was told that the Demon Prince is better than the Bloodthirster and that I should spend 2 CP to Denizens the 'thirster otherwise he'll get shot off the table on turn 1. I've used him twice now and he has never died. He's a beast, he popped a land raider in a single fight phase the first time I used him. My opponents aren't the most experienced or competitive, though. If I were you, try him out and if he doesn't survive the 1-2 turn flight across the board, try using denizens. Especially if you're using an all-khorne detachment, which allows you to reroll charge ranges.

I give the Bloodthirster the Armor of Scorn for the 4+ invul, and it's always nice to have another witch denier! The 4+ invul can be made a 3+ for a single phase with 1 command point. I haven't used this, but it's a strategy I have for if I'm really worried about it surviving.

I'm about to join a 1500 point league and I plan to squeeze the Bloodthirster into 1500 points. I'm either going to use a Bloodthirster as a patrol with my World Eaters battalion, or I'm going to do x2 battalions with princes instead of the thirster.
