Made this list for my own Chaos warband called the Cannibal Creed. Basically deviant Word Bearers who revere Khorne and Nurgle but despise Slaanesh and Tzeentch. While this is first and foremost a fluff list (no Prince of Sex or Master Troll units allowed) I still don't want to get beaten to a pulp every single game. Wondering if I should ditch the corndogs and take more daemon troops, what do you guys think? Never used daemons before. Only caveats are Fabius and the Bloodthirster are definitely staying how they are.

FAST ATTACK:
Heldrake, baleflamer 170

Allied Detachment

Bloodthirster, x2 greater rewards 290

TROOPS:
x10 Plaguebearers of Nurgle 90

It looks fairly strong. But my advice would be to drop the rhino from the Bile squad, replace the meltas with flamers, beef up their numbers as much as possible (trim some points from anywhere) and footslog them. It's amazing to watch them go nuts in combat.

Hmmm, you're probably right about the rhinos on the Khorne squad, I'm just nervous about footslogging MEQs. By mathhammer they do only kill 5 MEQs right now which sucks, so yeah, I'll probably footslog them. I guess it'd be kinda stupid leaving them to a charge after popping a transport with the meltas so the flamers are probably a good idea as well, and will give me 10 points for more dudemans.

Updated the list. Now I'm a little worried that I'm short on tough troops, but I tried to mitigate that, idk.
