Hi there, im in the process of building up my khornate heavy black legion list and im kinda stuck on which direction to head next. The units below are ones i have already bought and converted/painted so dropping them is not an option although any thoughts on wargear will of course be welcome

btw the points cost for the talisman's and tank hunters arnt included in the list because i left my codex at home and im not sure on their price

This gives me a few points to play around with and i'm wavering on where to invest them. I was thinking about another havoc squad with 8 members 4 using heavy bolters to provide some anti-horde weaponry as i already have the models to do this.

My other option is to include a one of the following units. I was planning to use these when i expand to 2000 points and although they would work best in tandem i see no reason why they wouldnt be affective alone.
5 Bikes - MoK, Chainaxes, Daemon Icon
Champ - PF, MoK

8 Bloodletters

So post your thoughts and let me know what you think...

Firstly, give the daemon prince a close combat weapon, 1 point for another attack. Secondly, the havocs should be 8 guys so you have an extra body for each heavy weapon. Since it is black legion, put in a squad of 2 obliterators. Bikes or another fast unit would also be a good investment.

Yeah, forgot to add the CCW. Agree with increasing the havoc squads size. done.

Obliterators: already have 2 models so a valid choice but im not convinced they'll be as effective for their high points cost, with the lascannons and havocs i think i have enough anti-armour as most of my opponents only have 2-4 vehicles. havnt played many games with obliterators but i heard they wern't as effective in 4th ed??
