So first things first, this is my first time writing a thread, but i have been in these forums since i got interested in 40k. But it was not until last sunday did i absolutely get the leaving crap beat out of me when i played apocalypse with a couple of my friends against the store owner with his necrons, it was so bad that i had to get a charity bloodthirster given to me to play with when i got wiped out. so i was thinking ive always loved chaos and khorne and nurgle where always my fav but lately ive been favoring khorne, however i am stuck now i really dont know how to make a good army, and i usually hate asking this but i kinda need help with my army list. it doesnt matter how many points it is i just need to know how to use the units i have right now. so here is what i got:

x3 chaos lords (2 are form the dark vengeance set and one is a converted dark angel from the set)
x1 sorcerer dark vengeance set
x20 bolter marines (10 are from the dark vengeance set)
x5 chosen (from the dark vengeance set)
x1 helbrute
x 5 terminators (dark vengeance set)
x20 khorne berzerkers
x4 rhinos
x3 bikers (dark vengence set)
x40 cultists (20 autoguns, 20 ccw)
x1 forgefiend
x1 defiler
x3 heldrakes

so ya thats it im looking to get some units but i dont know what , and i do intend of having allies so i can fit in things that i cant use in the khorne daemonkin for example the sorcerer and the chosen, i will also be playing against necrons a lot so thats what i am gearing for

1st thing you must do is return Khorne Daemonkin and get your money back.
You need to play codex: Nurgle DaemonKin which is due to release October 6th, 2012!!!
Codexes: Black Legion, Crimson Slaughter, Khorne Daemonkin are fluffier than Charmin's toilet paper and money down the drain. Only IA13 is any good.

4 Gods Sake! You have 3 helturkeys! How are you losing? You bring great shame to dailymiddleborro! The turkey gobbler man!

What you need to do is convert all your khorne into nurgle!
Take your 20 KBs and turn them into THE ULTIMATE close combat experts...Plague marines! Shave off the teeth on the chain swords and axes and turn them into plague knives. Paint them green! Turn your marines into T5 with MoN. Spam Plasma with the Plague marines and then Melta with the Marines and put 2x10 marines into 2 rhinos, then the other 2 rhinos get 2x5 plague marines plasmaguns and then foot slog the remaining 2 squads of plague marines with 2 plasma guns each.

Convert your 5 terminators into Nurgle Obliterators. Then buy 4 more cheapo terminators and make a total of 9 Nurgle Obliterators. They are so much better than forgefiends.

Alternatively, you have 40 cultists so you can do a double CAD with minimal tax.

2 HQ and 4 Troops to unlock 6 fast and heavy.

Use the 3 helturkeys and then a squad of bikers. Buy more cheap DV bikers and then max them out or make msu to spam 2 melta guns. Then spam 6 squads of Oblitz! Ideally 2 man teams or singletons. If you have spare points then go 6x3!

Gorepack with a lot of flesh hounds. Fleshounds will be in combat second turn every game. Your opponent has to deal with them or be locked in combat. Put a Lord with some kind of mount and you have a unit with rage, counter attack and furious charge. Depending on the points I run 30-40 hounds. I have played 3 games so far 1 at 1250 and two at 1500. I tabled my ork opponent. Had my eldar opponent concede on turn two.(in his defense he had no wraithknights or scatter bikes). My last matchup I played a armor heavy astral list which gave me some problems. I also use belakor as a ally. He is strong and invisibility helps keep your Lord with hounds become unkillable.

thanks guys! that really helped i already knew that i had to eventually get the flesh hounds but i never liked the model so i might just end up going nurgle

It's fairly common to substitute less expensive or more appealing models for the finecast GW flesh hounds (which I don't really like the look of either). I think most people use Chaos Warhounds or Fenrisian Wolves. The Warhounds in particular are MUCH cheaper.
