Greetings from the Warp Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hey all, this is my Blades of Khorne / Gore Pilgrims list which I have had some great fun and success with.. However - what are your thoughts?? Keep the Insensate Rage Bloodthirster (260 points), or swap the big fella for 10 Chosen of Khorne (280 points), or for 2 x 3 Mighty Skullcrushers (280 points)..?

Killax Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I think many variants will do well. Id personally consider 30 Bloodletters in addition to the unit you have first. Other great choice would be another Slaughterpriest and 5 Wrathmongers. Best part is continueing updating a list constantly but I know 30 letters will always serve you well.

Also apologies as the picture isnt that clear, as the list has 2 x 30 units of Bloodletters! I took feedback from some of your earlier posts and tactics etc, and included them at the start! I agree Bloodletters are amazing Defo the anchor of my list and normally always do what I need them to do!! Wrathmongers are a popular choice however perhaps am being a bit thick lol, why are they so good? I understand the ‘Crimson Hate’ bit and buffing with extra attacks, however the book says models and not units, so having them keep up with the front rank of Bloodletters and a turn 1/2 assault could be tricky!? Their ‘Bloodfury’ rule sounds great however.. Skullreapers on the other hand seem fantastic for their points!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 No worries! Yeah a 3rd Bloodletter unit is simply put very strong and always very strong. Wrathmongers are great if you can position them near/against an enemy monster. The way to transport them is by litterly bubblewrapping the unit with Bloodletters or other units to create a nice deathstar. Skullreapers are great too but is the case if they are just applied by themselves. The ammount of attacks you can generate with Wrathmongers + any unit is just larger and thus because of it often more dangerous. Give all a go, all are good choices.

Thanks dude as always great thinking.. The idea of making another 30 Bloodletters brings a tear to my eye, I thought 60 was enough punishment lol! I know a lot of people love the Wrathmongers unit, I suppose it’s just me getting my head around their application and delivery.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoVonUtopia Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 At first I was not fond of wrathmongers, but after using them I rarely play without them. I find them invaluable against strong units. I suiside them into things like terrorgeists, ironguts, or other hard hitting units. The wrathmongers tend to do ok damage and then cause a lot of damage when they die, especially when I can get them close to multiple monsters.

jazman84 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thing about Wrathmogers is I cant seem to get them to die. And I mainly play against Seph/Ogres so they cant do much damage to their Durthu/Stonehorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw them up field, aim for the biggest target and try to get killed lol!? Haha now that’s a sound strategy?!! That cheeky extra Blood Tithe point though if or when they do die could be game changing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
