I'm attempting to develop a semi-competitive Khorne Daemonkin list that I can use among friends(meaning minimal cheese).

This is a rush army. The basic strategy is as follows: turn one run up and unload from Rhino's, turn two spend four blood tithe to give +1 attack and FNP, turn three and up should just be close combat. Spawn are there to grab objectives and generally be annoying. Bloodletters are there to deepstrike in.

I'm not super keen on keeping any of the models, though I would like to keep the Bloodhost Detachments and the speed.

How are your two HQ's travelling? They don't appear to have any unit to move with which means they will die very fast...which is fine for the herald due to the axe but the Lord needs some company. Either dogs to scout with

That does seem to be a problem. I could play them as DISTRACTION CARNIFEX'S, though I'm considering replacing one of the Soulgrinders with a Gorepack, to provide some some extra speed for the army, and some dogs for my Lord to travel with.

Here's a Revised list. I added in a Gorepack to provide some extra speed and some hounds for my Lord to travel and scout with.

Heralds can't take the Axe of Koralth.... Only Demon Princes and Lords

You do appear to be correct. My bad. I've replaced that herald with a Lord on a Bike.
