I never used to use allies but lately I am realizing their utility.  

Now with Khorne you can get some units to far flung corners of the table with summoning via Blood Tithe.  But I have used gutrot spume and five kings with good success with the Legion of Azgorh.   They’re solid.   You could also get in a Plague Priest from the Skaven too; his prayers are good for anti hordes and not spells so Khorne won’t mind 🤮

I'm glad to hear that this has some merit even if it isn't "optimal". This might be the wrong place to ask but when some units are considered subpar how much does that actually translate to gameplay. 

If for example the Mighty Skullcrushers are considered worse than Wrathmongers will I be at a huge disadvantage picking them because I like the model, or is every unit still somewhat useful just a little bit less efficient.

I tend to use allies very sparingly or not at all because of the very reason you mentioned. Sometimes there are units that can do something important that Khorne units can't. For example, Centigors are amazingly fast, cheap and work well as screens or interference for Bloodthirsters. Also non-Khorne Slaves to Darkness allies still benefit from a Khorne Warshrine.

I'm hesitant to pump a lot of points into other allies just because, as you suggested, they won't benefit from the multiple buff networks that are usually humming along.

Thanks for the confirmation! 

I've been running into a weird problem when building a 2k list with Khorne where I get to around 1500 points and run out of things I definitely want to put in. I feel like with most of the support heros being relatively cheap and no behemoths that would eat up points in other armies I looked at maybe someone else has run into this. I guess with that being said is it worth it to take Bloodthirsters in a mortal focused army? Ideally Skarbrand in particular because I really prefer his model.

Hi all, I'm new to AoS and have started with a mortal focused Khorne army. I was wondering if anyone has had success with using allies. I was specfically looking at Gutrot Spume and a unit of Putrid Blightkings to give the army a little more trickiness during deployment. 

Since I haven't played a game yet I realize I could be way off here especially with how synergy based the army seems to be.
