Hey guys, I've purchased the Bloodbound part of the AoS set, I was wondering what to use as a General choice for a small Bloodbound army? I'm looking at the Bloodsecrator, the Bloodstoker, or the upcoming Slaughterpriest.

Generally you want a general based on his level of power, survivability, and his command abilities. There are several good minis that would make a great Khorne General:


Lord on Juggernought - has both survivability and lots of damage potential
Bloodthirster, wrath of khorne - massive damage output and lots of wounds
Khorne Lord (starter set) - can insta kill units with that axe

There are lots of other good characters, like the slaughterpriest, but they are more or less support characters for a general. Personally I'd go with the Lord on Juggernought... he is great, speedy, tough, and throws dons some rendy hurt!

The Mighty Lord of Khorne is great because of his Axe and unbinding potential of his Flesh Hound, but if you were to go for a mounted army I'd say a Lord on Juggernaut, he's reasonably fast, really tough and really killy, mix him up with Skullcrushers and he's perfect for a mounted list.

If you're a footslogger though, the Mighty Lord again would be a good choice, his Command ability mixed with those of the other characters from the starter set can prove pretty nasty, especially with further help from the Slaughterpriest and Skullgrinder.

Even then, there are other options depending on what sort of theme you want, Valkia the Bloody is pretty cool, she's fast, killy on the charge, and quite survivable in combat with her -1 to wound rolls from enemy models.

Really its all about what theme and synergies you wanna go for, so if you have an idea build off of that and choose the General which would be most fitting to work with, remember, Bloodbound is all about Synergy!
