Carrying on from the discussion in Tactics:

The glaive prince doesn't have any control over his own movement, so he can't really be used for antitank (unless your opponent is nice enough to positon his tanks as the nearest unit to the prince).

So all your antitank duties must be carried out by the defilers. They can do it if you roll a lot of ordinance hits, but personally I'd rather have lascannons. Against tank-skimmers especially, massed lascannons are better than ordinance. Even if the ordinance shot manages to stay over the skimmer, it just gives you a single glancing hit.

If my math is correct, you still have 95 points to spend.
This means, that if you drop the rhino, you could get yourself 2 cheap predators, a defiler and deamonic resilience for your prince ( 4 wounds, T(5)6, a 4+ inv. and FnP goes a long way  ).
As for the predators, I would equip them like this:
Predator
Autocannon turret
Lascannon sidesponsons
Deamonic possession
145 points.

It's a lot cheaper then the annihilator with all the goodies and still packs quite a punch, especially against skimmers.

Good luck with your list!

Actually Flav...

The glaive prince's job is to run around and hopefully draw ALOT of firepower. He can suck lascannons and what not all day long. Against tau, he's pretty well boned, but hey he's 150 pts. My normal tankhunting prince is only a few points more with either 2CCW's and speed, but he loses the handy 4+ save from the glaive.

I guess the preds are the way to go to stay moderately competetive, I just love Dreads and Defilers in khorne because they "feel" more right, ya know?

The cavalcade
The extra 95 points accounts for the extra points spent using two All lascannon pred annihilators. If I could save that 95 points, I was trying to throw a small unit of Fleshhounds in cuz no one ever uses flesh hounds.

This looks like a good value. I'm gonna playtest this with my own WE army.

I would recommend the following:

Tricked out Lord on a Bike with Rune, Essence, FnP, Icon and Meltagun. 

4 units of Zerkers with ToBB and Champ with fist

2 units of Bloodletters

1 unit of fleshhounds

2 Predators with autocannon and lascannon sponsons.

This gives you a Lord that can choose his own course and deliver demons - not to mentions shoot up armour.
