KARNAK
Belakor
5 furies


thoughts on which is the better of the two? thanks

I would go with the second, I have personal experience that the murderhorde will slaughter everything it hits and your first list seems to have a lot of 'could cause chaos, could be a disapointment' (although I guess that is the point when you have blood tithe, but an army can't run of blood tithe).

One question though: why are you taking the furies? You could dump them and get more hounds.

I could get two more hounds


But i think tactically being able to jump around and corrupt objectives would be better than 2 more wounds.

Perhaps, but I have found that the furies are reduntant if the rest of your army can pull its weight. I still see your point but I shall leave furies to those who use such things as tactics.

On the KD side of things, that is a solid bloodhost, nearly identical to my own list. The only difference is I've been using a second squad of cultists instead of spawn for a little more versatility, sticking them in the rhino on turn one and deepstriking the possessed with an instrument on one squad of letters and an icon on another. Probably a silly thing to do, but it's fun and distracting, and having more cultists lets me pretend I have a shouting phase that matters.
