Hello, so I've been painting some bloodbound models, and tried to come up with a list for tournaments. Casually, I play against chaos player. Any Suggestions are welcomed.

GORE PILGRIMS (180)
- Bloodsecrator 120 (relic talisman of burning blood)
- Slaughterpriest 100
- Slaughterpriest 100
- Bloodwarriors (15) 300
- Bloodreavers (10) 70
- Bloodreavers (10) 70

COUNCIL OF BLOOD (110)
- Skarbrand 400 (general)
- Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage 260 (relic harvester of skulls)
- Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury 260

I think you can have another artifact i the army since you have two batallions

Make the Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage your General and give him the Slaughterborn Command Trait. That will allow you to reroll all hits in close combat. You do get 1 more relic for running 2 battalions. Talisman of Burning Blood is pretty much useless on the Bloodsecrator. He needs to stay still when you open the Portal of Skulls. You'll get to use that buff maybe once. He's going to be a target. I would give him either Crimson Plate or the Brazen Rune. For your third relic, either Armour of Scorn, Mark of the Slayer, or the Crimson Crown on your other thirster are good choices. I'm not a fan of the Unfettered Fury Bloodthirster. I would go either Wrath of Khorne or another Insensate Rage. Hope that helps!

WOK is indeed a better option here then unfettered fury. In combination with a stoker you might even be able to get skarbrand in melee turn 1.
you'd need to free up some pts though...

Thinking of it, do you really need gore pilgrims for that extra attack on 36" ? The prayers that you are gonna be roling is likely the +1 to hit for insensate rage or other thirsters, and you don't get re-rolls for that one. only for the ones the priests already had on there scroll if I am not mistaken (don't have the tome on hand). I remember vaguely this is due how it has been worded.
