well im slowely building a khorne deamonkin army. but while im building that I thought of a list I can use for models I have. this is completely a fun list not meant to really win in a objective based game.

Blood thirster x2 greater rewards
GUO x2 greater rewards, lvl3

2x3 nurglings

soul grinder w/ plegm cannon

Deamon prince MoN, x2 greater rewards, lvl3, wings

CSM allies

chaos lord on Jugg with AoBF, SoC, Deamonheart, MB
x10 cultists w/ heavy stubber
x3 spawn MoK


1496pts

Back in 6th ed, just after the most recent codex dropped, the BT & GUO were my go-to HQs. I slowly changed to the LoC (see what I did there), but I could still see the combo for fun games

I'm not really sure why you need the CSM allies over, say some Flesh Hounds, but if those are the miins you have, they are fine.
Since the GUO is naturally tough and is fairly slow, I might recommend an Exalted reward for Grimoire + 1 Greater reward. Unlike the DP who needs 2 greater gifts, the GUO should be fine with just 1, plus he can roll powers on Biomancy.
Grimiore can be nice for one of the FMCs, or for the Chaos Lord. Imagine getting a 2++ on him. Since Grimoire is done at the beginning of the move, you can move the GUO first, use Grimoire, then move the Spawn unit. If Grimoire fails, move the Spawn in front of the Chaos lord. if it succeeds, move him up front to tank wounds.
