army bunches up down the middle, blood warriors on the front middle and reavers on flanks. heroes in the middle with one wrathmonger squad within 3 inchs of each and warshrines picking up the rear. blood secretor sit in the middle giving everyone nice +1 att bubble. wrathmongers give reavers +1 att. deathbringer uses his command ability to give everyone +1 att. reavers being in range of totem gives them + 1 att. that means 5 attacks per reaver rerolling all misses( from banner of rage) and a killing frenzy from shrines or priest means hitting on 2's. warriors have 4-5 attacks ddepending on how close the wrath mongers are, that are rerolling all misses. basically mass attacks with rerolls and mass bodies. max attacks on the reavers of 201 and on the warriors of 101.

im going to try this out for a matched play tournament in a week. all critisms will be welcomed.

I think I would go for killing frenzy on all the priests. for +1 to hit madness all over. I personally prefer consistency over options.

You might run into problems if you can't keep formation due to objectives. In my experience if you are in a situation that you can max out attacks, you are very lucky to have drawn that specific battleplan. you will be lucky with 50-60% of the planned boosts

The secrator will be the only one able to score if you have a battleplan were only wizards and units with power artifact can score. He is a bit squishy if he has to take the front. Maybe a formation to have second artifact? Or just knowing that that is your weakness and you loose if such a battleplan drops.

I agree with the formation issues. You'll struggle to get max buffs from the army especially in your opponents territories. Also if your bloodsecrator goes down those big units are gonna fail battleshock tests a lot.

Not sure if you intended it, but you have all the requirements for a gorepilgrams battalion. If you drop a warshrine and make one of the big units smaller (bloodwarrior or reavers) you'll get a 30" bubble of khorne goodness and rerolls on your slaughterpriest prayers. And you get that second artifact (maybe Slaughterborn and Mark of the destroyer for the deathbringer giving him 12At rerolling all hits)

Take that and you can still use your original tactics but have more freedom to move.

I also like the lord on Juggernauts ability, it combines well with killing frenzy and on the charge turns your average reavers into very choppy berzerkers
