So if I take 2 hq 4 sets of bloodletters and 2 sets of possesed toss in two heavy choices I got two blood host detachments and 2 slaughter cults so I produce 2 tithe points a turn and when I turn them in I chose 2 of lesser amount and they can be the same?

I don't see why the saultercult's bonus has to be the same for both

Well it wouldn't have to be but if you have a bloodletter squad with a bloodreaper you get them as close as you can and pop off your heavy choices (personally I'd go with khorne lords, grinders, or defilers) and you are basically promised a skull cannon and 2 sets of bloodletters. Basically some one to join the bonbardment crew and more expendable troops growing hopefully faster then depleting. Or even a turn 2 producing 2 bloodthirsters and 2 daemon princes with armour and wings out of 2 cult leaders, and a lord with the bloodthirster axe.

Not to mention if you use the Lord to make the daemon prince he keeps his axe for another 2 bloodthirsters later

So I'm curious if that is all possible

When you use the tithe pints you lose them. So at most your army can summon one unit, then the 1-4 result.

The Slaughtercult bonus is only between 1-4. You can't summon with it

Aha I see missed that line. So at most you could summon 2 bloodthirsters with the axe or a daemon prince and a bloodthirster (keeping in mind that the daemon prince keeps the axe) and then 2 of any of 1-4 which isn't bad at all just not q broken like it was looking

I don't get the impression you're allowed to track two blood tithes in one army.

If your army consists of two blood host detachments, each with a single slaughter cult formation then the blood tithe works like this.

At the start of your turn you have X blood tithe points for your entire army. Before you spend any points each blood host detachment will increase this amount by 1. In this case you will have X+2 points to spend this turn.

When you spend any blood tithe points you will loose any points unspent. Lets say at the start of the turn X was equal to 4. The two blood hosts would make that 4+2 or 6. If the Daemonkin player chooses any option with a cost less then 6, the unspent points would be lost.

When you spend blood tithe points the slaughter cult formations each get a free pick from the blood tithe table. This pick cannot cost more then 4 and must cost less then the number of tithe points spent on the 1st item. Lets say that the Daemonkin player choose to spend all 6 tithe points. Each slaughter cult would get to pick an option of 1-4.

The slaughter cults act independently of each other. They may pick the same result, or they may pick different results. Each slaughterer is its own formation and the effects they pick will not be applied to each others formation.

If your warlord is equipped with Kor'lath and you spend 7 tithe points to summon a Daemon Prince and pass all the needed rolls you will get a Daemon Prince equipped with Kor'lath and the removal of the warlord as a casualty will cause you to get a Bloodthirster and each slaughter cult will get its free 1-4 selection.

If your warlord is equipped with Kor'lath and you spend 8 tithe points to summon a Bloodthirster and pass all the needed rolls you will get a Bloodthirster equipped with a normal axe and the removal of the warlord as a casualty will cause you to get a Bloodthirster and each slaughter cult will get its free 1-4 selection.
