This is my developing list , using my Age of Sigmar daemons stuff.
I have no idea how this army plays.

Any suggestions ?

I love it except for the flesh hounds and soul grinder. They are both too slow and wayyyyy too expensive. You can run this and be fine in friendly games but if you want to play anything more competitive pure khorne is in a tight spot in 9th.

Ok thanks
I have another version with Skarbrand , I think this has more threats/punch
The plan would be to get up on the objectives and get shot.
I expect the army will get shot off the table.

But it some tricks , so might be fun.
Ive spent 6CP , I’ll probably spend another 3 or 4 putting stuff in the warp or reserve.

I like the first one better. One tool Khorne needs is threat saturation. The more large units of bloodletters the better. Skull cannons worked meh in 8th, I haven't tested yin 9th yet, but with the move and shoot without penalty is pretty good. I don't have a Soul Grinder but have considered one. Again, with the new vehicle rules they should prove to be decent even if it's a distraction. Get the hounds in large groups and use the new strat for advance and charge for a possible turn one charge to force the opponents hand. Use the smaller units of bloodletters to cap objectives, perform actions and the big blobs to murder. I'm personally gonna start using furies for fast flying infantry to cap objectives.

OK thanks for the ideas , I didn't realise there was a stratagem for the flesh hounds to advance and charge , also gives +2 to the charge if we can destroy a unit that turn first
