Damian Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 About to start building a Khorne army (love the theme of 'in your face' warfare but have had conflicting views on whether to go Daemon, Mortal or a mixture of both? I was thinking for a 2k point army maybe a mix would be better... What i'm thinking for a start... Mighty Lord of Khorne Bloodsecrator Slaughterpriest x2 Exalted Deathbringer Blood warriors 10x2 ? Boodreavers 20 ? Wrathmongers x5 (For fun) Murderhost battalion ? Would it be better to scrap bloodreavers and have some bloodletters? or both? Bloodthirster rather than Mighty lord of Khorne? All advice appreciated as i'm rather confused which direction to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimer Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Ditch the Exalted for an Aspiring. Unless you have most of your army on the far end of your opponents area, your secretor will be making most of your army immune to morale as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the reply, what else would you suggest I add to the roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysonic1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Gore Pilgrims is currently too good not to run. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazimer Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Agreed. You already are running everything for a gore pilgrim battalion anyways, and making your blood secretors aura 30 inches and rerolling prayers is HARD to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of Chaos Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 None of the units you have listed can run in the Murderhost Battalion (or did you mean your list includes a maxed out Murderhost?). Agree with the above; the exalted is trash whereas the Aspiring Deathbringer is handy. However if you do run Gore Pilgrims then a 3rd priest will do more for you than either Deathbringer. Daemons and mortals work well together. Heroes like Bloodsecrators, Bloodstokers and Slaughterpriests can buff either unit and you can never go wrong with a bloodthirster.

Forrix Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Exalted Deathbringer reflects d3 mortal wounds on a successful save roll of 6+. So buff him to a 2+ by stacking bronze flesh prayers, put a reroll 1s buff on him, then charge him into a giant horde with no rend like skeletons and watch him demolish the unit as he does d3 mortal ones for each save of a 4+?

Mikeymajq Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'd put the reavers in min units of 10 to use as 'screens' to protect your good stuff. Also they make good blood tithe points wheb your opponent slays them Which brings me to my second point. The way I play, I bring mostly mortals and use blood tithe to summon in Bloodletters or the occasional Blood thirster, depending on what the situation calls for... But it's usually dropping 20 bloodlettersto either hold or take an objevtive. Which is why I love bringing a few small units of reavers. Not only can they run up and keep your other stuff safe. They can nab early vp on mid-table objectives before they die. I'm not a huge fan of the mighty lord, he's good but I love the Juggerlord, great stats and a solid command ability, especially for Blood warriors who wound on a measly 4+ (their biggest downfall imo).

Thanatos Ares Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 personally i prefer the pure daemon approach. council of blood is a proven battalion then build your list around it. gore pilgrims is a no brainer if you're going mortal though.
