What do y'all think? Am I too light on troops for 1000 pts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/709857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/709857.page GMT Re:1000 pt Khorne Demons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/709897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/709897.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/710852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/710852.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/710858.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/710858.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713199.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713199.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons
If you are running Khorne I would totally keep the thirster as he is amazing.

Blood letters are kinda "meh" in my mind since most of the list does their job already. BUT since it is Khorne Themed might as well keep it that way.

What is the role that the grinders are filling? (they are very good... don't get me wrong)

You may consider dropping them for more Crushers and a Herald of Khorne

This gives you:
2 troop choices for holding objectives
a Bloodthirster
and a crusher unit

Basically it would limit you to two units that can do something list BUT it drops your KP down]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713239.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713239.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons
this list is trying to capitalize on dropping a bunch of big threats down all at once to hopefully overwhelm the enemy


This is why the Icons are bad. He wants to front load the drops (put all the heavy hitters into the first wave). If you do this then move the icon to the crushers. The very first unit you drop should be the crushers and the icon, followed by the thirster and grinders. Don't bother with icons on the bloodletters, you'll want to drop them on objectives if possible.

This sort of strategy works well when you roll a 3+ when you roll for your first wave. When you roll a 1 or a 2 the icons certainly won't help your situation. You want to keep the bloodletters alive which will be hard with everything shooting at them on the first turns. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713279.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713279.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons
The crushers wouldn't make use of the icons though. So I guess with my above list, my waves would be:

Wave 1
'Thirster
Crushers
Soul Grinder

Wave 2
Bloodletters
Bloodletters
Soul Grinder

Am I on the right track?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/713559.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons HQ spam daemons can pull off.

What if you did this?

HQ
Khorne Herald on chariot, Unholy might

Troops
5 bloodletters
6 bloodletters

its 8 points under.

wave 1:

Wave 2:

with that much dropped into your opponents face on turn one, its simply too much to kill.

1. Icons in the first wave. I've seen Kairos and a Soulgrinder get rocked simply because they scattered onto difficult terrain.

2. That should be enough troops. Going to ground in your backfield will keep that unit of Bloodletters alive, and if people are shooting at your Bloodletters, they're not shooting at your Bloodcrushers.

3. At 1000 points, the Bloodthirster and two Soulgrinders will be a nightmare to deal with. The Bloodcrushers will almost be an afterthought. If you can, though, unique-up the Bloodcrushers (musician, rage, icon) so that you can do that fun wound allocation stuff.

I didn't notice this before but you can't take a naked thirster, you'll need to fit unholy might and and blessing of the blood god in there.

I play mono Khorne at higher point levels and if you really must have an icon I'd run this list at 1k.

Bloodthirster 275
unholy might
Blessing of the Blood God

Bloodcrusher x3 145
Icon

Bloodletter x8 128
bloodletter x 8 128

Soul Grinder 160
Phlegm
Soul Grinder 160
Phlegm

996

If your opponent is ok with 1 point over take an instrument with the crushers. Wave 1 should be the thirster, 2 grinders, and the crushers. Drop the crushers first in very open terrain and deepstrike the rest of your force off them.

In objective missions drop your letters on objectives with cover and go to ground and aggressively contest the other objectives with the rest of your heavy hitters.

Thats a really good point that I hadn't thought of. However, what did you mean "You can't take a naked 'thirster"? The codex doesn't mention any of his options as MUST, but rather MAY? Or are you saying that it's dumb not to at least take Might on him?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/716721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/716721.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons
unless your against other daemons or a nightbringer then you shouldnt need to upgrade it atall.

if you are against a nightbringer then you take skulltaker and instant kill the fether


however, i would free up as many points as i can and run the letters in MSU's, since at this many points you cant go to heavy on units, you can still take more smaller ones though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/716749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/716749.page GMT 1000 pt Khorne Demons
Unholy might in my opinion is required. The primary role of a bloodthirster in a mono khorne list is to kill tanks, walkers, high toughness targets, and fast things the rest of the army can't catch. S8 is an instant kill for most characters and will autoglance most vehicles. On the charge you can almost auto-pen AV14. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/716824.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239693/716824.page GMT Re:1000 pt Khorne Demons
