First off, i wasn't sure where to post this so i put it here.
As the title says, i am a new daemons player who is looking for some help with starting a khorne daemon army. ( I know that they're not the best, but i love the looks of them )
Currently i have:

Bloodthrister
Skulltaker
20x bloodletters
Daemon prince

Any suggestion what i should add to them? I was thinking about getting some blood crushers and more bloodletters.
Also some basic tactics would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Crushers not worth it, just. not. worth. it. SkullCannon (or 2) and a pack of hounds with Karanak.

Ok. So, skullcannon and hounds it shall be

Still open for more suggestions though.

Definitely at LEAST another daemon prince. Max out flesh hound units.

Flying Monstrous Creates are very strong right now.

As said, blood crushers are not very strong. I would not take them.

Fleshhounds are terrific, try to get 20 or 30 of them.

Soul grinders and skull cannons provide good fire support. I prefer soul grinders.

back to FMCs, a popular list nowadays is:

fateweaver/bloodthrister
3 daemon princes of tzeentch/khorne
pink horrors/bloodletters
screamers/fleshhounds

Apparently i should get alteast one more daemon prince.
Then what would you guys say is the most urgent, more bloodletters, Fleshounds or skullcannon/ soul grinder?

Next week i'll probably go down to the shop to pick some things up. Also keep in mind that i'm on a fairly tight budjet, so i can't get all of them at once.

3-4 FMC is the core. Daemons work a little differently than most lists. With most armies you choose your troops first, with daemons our troops are the weakest things in our army so build it around big nasty threats so your opponent won't have time to slaughter your troops. That's my advice.

I would try to get up to this:
Bloodthirster
3 daemon princes
20 flesh hounds
and if you're REALLLLLY dead set on a khorne theme, then snag about 40 bloodletters to start. That would be a good core a list would look something like:

HQ:
Bloodthirster

Troops:
20 bloodletters
20 bloodletters

Fast Attack:
20 fleshhounds of khorne

Heavy Support:
3 Khorne daemon princes with greater gifts and a lesser each for the axe of khorne.
