IT HAS TO BE MONO KHORNE
Thoughts?

I would think about maybe changing the crushers and herald for some flesh hounds with Karanak in them, Karanak's special rule is going to be devastating in a 1000 pts game. the reason I would suggest replacing the crushers is simply because you can fit in ALOT of flesh hound goodness for the points you would else put in the crushers (I think you could get alteast 12 in there with karanak and infiltrate them) and the infiltrate is safer than deepstrike since a 1000 pts game you can't afford to rely on a deepstrike since those points are going to be lost if you can't get them out in the right turn. So yeah, I would go safe and replace the crushers with hounds

Hope this helped

In 1k pts game with such army list you have only quad gun for destroying enemy tanks. Also bloodletters are really easy to kill (4+ cover save or 5++ and only T3), so your quadgun team can easly be wiped out. I would take Soul Grinder - in 1k game its really low cost (135pts or with Phlegm 165) and it has 5++, 4 hull points and such good armour.

Also herald as infantry is really easy to kill if you have no spells or good throws on rewards. Versus orks or IG your bloodletter will die before they get enemy cuz of their mass shoots.

Go herald on Juggernaut with Fleshhounds or pick Karanak instead of this herald.

I would recommend to take more than 10 bloodletters in squad, even without bloodreaper, banners and instruments.

Thats my opinion^^

Sorry forgot to add my MoK grinder in for no reason.
Anyway here is my battle pan:
Deploy the quadgun with team and the cover hugging crushers and grinder. 1x letters come in near crushers and bring in 1x letters with the instrument, 1x letters come in bring the bloodthrone with the instrument never scattering because of the blood banners. The blood throne gives rage to everyone within 6" and they are right next to the enemy. Commonly known as the bubble of rage.

But the squad numbers arent in intervals of eight.

I have never been a fan of the blood throne, they seem too weak to stand up to any real shooting. I usually buy Heralds and give them loci, so they convey them to there unit.

But if you have the experience in the throne by all means use them

Yeah it tends to work well. The problem with letters is their low number of attacks but on the charge the are devastating! Including the blood reaper that is 37 attacks on the charge! That is enough to wipe squads with ease. I find they stad up to shooting well. I had a game against a guy who took this list:
Lord eye of night plasma pistol power sword sigil VotLW
8 chosen 4 flamers combi flamer rhino destroyer blades VotLW
8 chosen 4 flamers combi flamer rhino destroyer blades VotLW
forgefiend
hellturkey

And I tabled him turn 4! It was a crusade match and my guys pummeled him. I did lose my back-field herald to the warpstorm table though but he lost two flamer chosen so I guess it makes up for it. My bloodcrushers were actually my MVP. Making sure my first letters didn't scatter after hiding out of sight turn one blew up the forgefiend 2 rhinos and wiped a chosen squad! It was funny because my bloodletters passed reserves which brought in more letters with the instrument and they brought in the chariot with their instrument! All the time not scattering because of blood banner spam!

I don't care.
And I corrected your grammar.
