Uprising Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hello I have decide to dust off my khorne Daemons, while I paint up my brass stampede list. This is what I am thinking at the moment Allegiance: KhorneLeadersSkullmaster, Herald of Khorne (100)- General- Artefact: The Crimson Crown Battleline40 x Bloodletters (400)40 x Bloodletters (400)30 x Bloodletters (300)BattalionsMurderhost (20)Total: 1220/2000 The goal is to get the hordes in turn 1, and start going to town. I really have no idea what to add to the list. I want it to be semi competitive, but am still new to khorne. What would you add and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fraser Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Bloodsecrator banner (extra attack) blood stoker (bonus to charge range) wrath of khorne bloodthirster (run & charge command ability) First one pumps up the damage output of units, next 2 increase the threat range of the units.

Killax Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cool but why go for 40 blocks? Id say go 30 in multiples if you feel inclined or even max that Battalion with units of 10, thats 4d6 movement for free turn 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottog Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Max 30 Blodletters in one unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that aswell Seriously though, I think this would work out much better: Quote Allegiance: KhorneLeadersWrath Of Khorne Bloodthirster (360)- GeneralSkullmaster, Herald of Khorne (100)- Artefact: The Crimson Crown Bloodsecrator (120)Bloodsecrator (120)Bloodstoker (80)Battleline30 x Bloodletters (300)30x Bloodletters (300)10X Bloodletters (100)10x Bloodletters (100)10x Bloodletters (100)10x Bloodletters (100)10x Bloodletters (100)10x Bloodletters (100)BattalionsMurderhost (20)Total: 2000/2000 It's practically the same list but I decided to remove a Herald of Khorne, which I personally think frankly isn't worth the cost unless he has a Crimson Crown Knowing full well what he can technically do for the Bloodletters. The idea of this list is that it has a drastically improved speed, you can be assured that 1 30 block Bloodletters will arrive at your opponents doorstep turn 1 due to the WoK Bloodthirsters Command Ability and Bloodstoker. Though it's honestly not really required. The drastical advantage gained out of the multitude of 10 Bloodletter blocks is that they can provide you with Blood Tithe points aswell and this can create a truely sickening endless wave of Bloodletters doing all kinds of terrible things.

ledha Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 i'd say, keep 1-2 little unit for hanging around objectives when your horde is killing right and left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lyons Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I would personally do something like this: 120 Bloodsecrator [w/the Crimson Plate: reroll armor saves of 1] 100 Slaughterpriest (Killing Frenzy Prayer: +1 to hit) 100 Slaughterpriest (Bronzed Flesh [+1 save]) 100 5 Bloodwarriors 70 10 Bloodreavers 80 Gore Pilgrims Battalion 80 Bloodstoker [w/the Brazen Rune: 2+ vs. spells/auto-dispel] 80 100 Skullmaster [w/Crimson Crown: hit rolls of 6+ generate +1 attack] 300 30 Bloodletters 300 30 Bloodletters 200 20 Bloodletters 20 Murderhost Battalion 360 Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster [General w/Immense Power and Death Dealer] 60 Bloodlords Battalion This gives you almost as many Bloodletters as your current lists, it keeps your drops low (3) for competitive play, and it adds an additional threat that your opponent has to deal with (Bloodthirster will be swinging at 3+/2+/-2/d3+2 initially and spitting mortal wounds). I obviously went for Khorne allegiance, so that gives me a different suite of items (notably the Crimson Crown which can generate additional attacks on the Bloodletters and the Brazen Rune to shut down essential spells) and prayers for the Slaughter priest (+1 to hit for the bloodletters!) which you get to reroll casting attempts because of Gore Pilgrims. Additionally, because of Gore Pilgrims, the Bloodsecrator's banner has a 30" reach so your Bloodletter hosts will all be within range. Also, because you're running the Bloodlords mega-battalion, all of those bloodletters have a chance for a free pile-in and swing in the Hero phase (which can also generate an additional attack from the Crimson crown). Finally, this gives you the option of either taking the first turn with a Bloodletter bomb, or playing for the double turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Well like the 40 Bloodletter blocks, using Bloodlords here isnt possible for matched play. Must contain 3-8 of X. Bloodlords isnt worded like The Goretide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how that isn't fulfilling the requirement of the Murderhost within the Bloodlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
