I think this is about as nasty as straight Khorne can get, maybe instead go all bloodcrushers but then the Landraiders can run you easy. Maybe if I go daemons I'll HAVE to diversify into other factions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/413689.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/413689.page GMT Khorne Daemon 1750

Well, I´ll try.

There is a lack of long ranged antitank, but that´s one of the main weakness of Chaos Daemons. Anyways, with 5 flying MC, you have a really solid answer to that problem.

I agree with you, if you are going Pure Khorne, something like this would the right way to go.

The only thing I don't see really clear is the troop choices... What about bigger units? Yeah, I suppose they are just for holding objectives, but you should need more small units (that costing more KPs), or bigger ones (to be more durable). 5+ (or cover) is not really that good for 15 R4 minis.

Don't know, I think the theme is right, 5 Khorne MC, and minimun troops (Chaos Nidzillas, lol). But I feel I´m missing more troops... What about forgetting about the bloodcrushers? They are cool (and fluffy), but one unit wont save the day.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/413857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/413857.page GMT Khorne Daemon 1750 CC, but really slow too.

Why don't you change the 3 daemon princes for 3 Soul Grinders with tongue. It will give you some badly needed anti-tank ranged firepower and also give you something to try and tank down a Monolith with. The points you save can go into the troops catagory. Bloodletters are great taking down meq's just like the princes would be. Two units of 4 bloodcrushers might be better. I know KP missions and all, but it just might be better.

The 2 Bloodthirsters are powerful. I like 40kenthusist's 4 khorne heralds on chariots. I think they are one of the best buys in the game. For 85pts you have a 4 wound, 3+/5+, str + toughness 5 power weapon freak. Four of them are 340pts and saves you 210pts from the HQ section.

I like the idea of 4 Heralds on Chariot, but I have doubts with Soulgrinders. They are only three vehicles, and that is always a Weakness. Yeah, they provide anti-tank, but Winged princes can do a good antintanking role too.

In this list would discard the bloodcrushers and I´ll give more bodies to that 4 troops units. That means 2 less KP, and more durability for the Blood letters.

Funny thing here is, the list posted actually has LESS anti-tank than the MC list.

Dont forget, the Bloodthirsters posted are STR 9 on the charge thanx to furious charge. They should easily be able to make short work of any Monoliths.

Not sure if giving one of the Bloodthirsters up is a good Idea for two heralds. Thats a lot of str 9 MC attacks on the charge to give up, but it's definatly something to consider.

I'm sort of surprised that noone came out and simply said my list totally sucked.

(no thats not an invite!

)

I do like the idea of the list above, but it seems that against any sort of armour its REALLY sorely lacking.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/414227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/414227.page GMT Khorne Daemon 1750 MC's in the turn they drop, and every MC will kill everything they come across in CC.

The MC's will hopefully be able to hold out until the Bloodcrushers and bloodletters start dropping in and take objectives.

this is a good Chaos list, and actually much better (I think) than the standard tzeench lest that is floating around nowadays.

My only concern with this list is that the bloodcrushers are a little redundant in this army. The 5MC's can really take down just about anything in CC and live though the initial drop to get into CC. there is no need for a non-scoring elite unit crushing unit, as the MC's will crush anything you need them to crush.

So I would take out the blood crushers in favor of adding a 9 man unit of bloodletters and beefing up the other three units to units of 8 for more scoring units.

I think that would do better in a tounament setting.

but the list is a good one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/414338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/220644/414338.page GMT Khorne Daemon 1750
Str 9 Bloodthirsters are are hitting Monoliths on 4's and rolling only 1 die for armor penetration right? That makes it difficult for them to bring the big pyramid down. Versus armor that's not Land raider or Monoliths, the entire Khorne army strikes the rear armor in HtH. That means Bloodcrushers and heralds are hitting Leman Russ's with a str 6 on their armor 10 rear. More than enough power to tank armor down. The Bloodletters are hittng rear armor with a str of 5. If it's skimmers moving fast you are worried about, then Soul Grinders can shoot them.

About the only thing the non-MC Daemon list can't handle well are dreadnoughts. A few rending models spread around would help, but MC daemons are still superior against the dreadnoughts.

But hey, give the list a try. I'd be interested in hearing how it does. I've read 40kenthuesist have success with the heralds and soul grinders so I know it works.

that's just one unit out of just a few that have a chance at taking out a bloodthirster in one round. and if the bloodthirster survives, that 275 point sternguard unit is dead dead dead.

Monoliths are difficult for anything to take down, and honestly if you are charging the monolith and not the necrons, you are fighting a loosing game. kill the necrons, not the monolith. However a Bloothirster has like, 5 attacks, which mean around 3 will hit, and three dice is a pretty goo chance for a pen, which is much better than most anything else to kill a monolith.

But again, kill the necrons in CC, not the monolith.

You can't live in fear of a single unit in the game. Whatever the sternguard manage to take out, I'm sure this list would have 3 MC's left to go demolish....

Unfortunately, all anyone has to do is kill your 'letters and then you can only win by tabling them in objective games. It's risky to run that few troops. Maybe also try 2x 4 Bloodcrushers, or even 1x 4, and use the rest of the points to beef up the letter squads and add icons.

What about 6 minimum units of bloodletters? It should be not really hard to hide them with the MCs... Just an idea, maybe a bad one

The problem with MC is they are devastating against Heavy Armour Vehicles in CC ONLY when they haven't move at maximum speed. Hitting 1 of 6 attacks, would be bad, and LR now can move 12 and keep firing...

The bloodthirsters, with their T6, wings, and 3+/4+ are pretty much worth the points they cost, especially since they're WS10 (and thus hit by WS4 on a 5+), but the princes are only 3+/5+, T5, and only WS7.

Soul Grinders can be one-shot killed...but at the same time, 66% of glancing hits and 33% of penetrating hits do NOTHING to them. 13/13/11 armor makes them very tough in HTH as well, and the fact they have fleet gives them surprising speed.

I'll also echo the Bloodcrusher recs. Bloodcrushers do amazing things, survive ridiculous amounts of firepower, and kill almost anything they touch in HTH. 4 Bloodcrushers /w Fury are 170 points, and will defeat nearly anything in HTH. I5 S6 power weapons on the charge.
