I am attempting to make a TAC list for KDK maelstorm of war missions without tipping into cheese category, having fun on a semi-competitive tourney (TFG stuff is not allowed)

Any thoughts on making it better? from those I know participating, i might be facing tau, eldar, ultramarines, blood angels, orcs or astra militarum
I was wondering about these things:
where to put those last 29 pts?
Also is it useful to give my lord the 4+ invul if he can pop into bloodthirster when killed? (i really like that axe of ruin),
Does he need a powerfist, if Kor'lath axe of ruin has AP2 and a 6+ instant death rule or should I just give him meltabombs instead to deal with vehicles?
If I save up these I could add in a unit of cultists...
Should I split up the 15 flesh hounds in 10 and 5? I like the 15 cause it can really close down like 50% of the battlefield for a few turns while the rest of the army does its stuff. but a second unit might have its perks too...
Should i make room for a bloodthirster of insensate rage? (like removing the maulerfiends)

Looks pretty good. I would make 2 dog packs one with 10 to carry the lord and another 5 man to spread out, add more tithes and be able to threaten more things. I'd also find a way to get the possessed a rhino other wise the tax you pay for them really goes to waste as they are pretty slow. You can do this by dropping the melta bombs on the bikers and the power fist. This also adds another tithe point potential. You essentially want to keep your lord alive long enough to turn him into two bloodthirsters (one thirster for the axe and one for the tithe) so he doesn't need much more points investment. You should be able to accomplish the double thirster by turn 2 and with the new FAQ they can DS on the ground.

So I changed it a bit, added the Rhino, had some pts left after removing the PF, so I added in some meltabombs for the lord and a havoc launcher for the rhino. Or is there a more useful way to spend these 19pts
?

Looks solid, I'd spend the 19 points on another dog. Havoc launchers don't do much if anything I find. A 16 pt dog will come in handy more.
