If your planning on making a IR bloodthirster I'd just like to point out that there is a good chance outrageous carnage will be changed to unmodified 6 in the future.
All the 6+ abilities seem to be going the way of the dodo
I use my IR thirster every game anyway just cos he looks so damn cool! But with regards to the warscrolls, decapitating blow hasnt been changed for heralds and Skull cannons yet (at least not on the AOS app) so might have time on our side. Could be an oversight, or they might be leaving it as is for single models?

@sambaker31 A guys won a local tournament in my area with the Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage with Gyrstrike and devastating blow. The BoIR with Gyrstrike has become a pretty standard item in Khorne tourney lists. He's 260 points plus an artifact (and you'll probably be running Gore Pilgrims so you'll have an extra) and he can destroy entire armies if left unchecked. Granted, he's fairly easy to kill but your opponent absolutely has to deal with him.
Outrageous carnage on a 5+ then? Thats pretty nice, with +1 to hit. Might have to try this combo with slaughterborn on my IR thirster.

Have you looked into Skullreapers? I put a unit of 5 of them with Daemon weapons in a recent 1000-pt game with my friend's Nighthaunt, and they wiped out a unit of Dreadscythe Harridans AND the Black Coach. They're absolute monsters. My friend hates them! It's great!
Yeah i have definitely thought of getting some and some wrathmongers, but i'm taking a break from buying khorne stuff at the moment. Its easy to get into a cycle of constantly buying and painting things to be competitive. I just wanna try and make a half decent list out of what i already have for the next few months or so

I've been trying all sorts of lists lately, and struggling to come up with an effective one. My latest is below:
Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage (260)
- General
- Command Trait : Slaughterborn
- Artefact : Mark of the slayer
Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut (140)
- Artefact : The Blade of Endless Bloodshed
Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrathhammer (100)
- Blood Blessing : Bronzed Flesh
Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrathhammer (100)
- Blood Blessing : Bronzed Flesh
Slaughterpriest (100)
- Blood Blessing : Bronzed Flesh
Bloodsecrator (140)
UNITS
15 x Blood Warriors (300)
- Goreaxe & Gorefist
- 1 x Goreglaives
10 x Bloodreavers (70)
- Reaver Blades
10 x Bloodreavers (70)
- Reaver Blades
5 x Chaos Knights (160)
- Chaos Glaives
1 x Khorgoraths (90)
BEHEMOTHS
Soul Grinder (260)
BATTALIONSGore pilgrims (200)
I've been going for bronzed flesh, just to stop my stuff getting swept off the board without doing much. Still feel the list lacks punch in combat - only the thirster and maybe the soul grinder can go in and deck something. Thinking of swapping some of the units for 30 Bloodletters or maybe 6 Bloodcrushers. Any thoughts anyone?

I've never used that prayer before, but does the unit have to make a run move ie? D6"? And then just move a few of the models that distance still leaving the bulk of the unit on an objective?

Whats our best bet for stealing objectives from big blobs of things like chainrasp hordes? I seem to be struggling with this at the moment

My main one from last year was to start actually playing age of sigmar, which i did and i'm doing pretty regularly (its the only game i play atm).
My main goals for next year lie away from the hobby really (mostly artwork and martial Arts related), but here goes:
1. Enter something into golden daemon at whfest
2. Smash that backlog (including tzeentch daemons, world eaters and renegade Knights) - i want to finish 2019 with it all painted or moved on
3. Start a hobby budget and stick to it
4. I have a long term goal of working for gw, so i'll keep filling out my CAD skills and see what happens

GW apparently said that the Khorne side of the box comes to 500pts. If we assume Bloodletters stay at 120, Flesh Hounds at 100, and Bloodcrushers go to 140 as rumoured, that puts Karanak at... 140pts. Not sure I rate that very highly (given 5W@4+), but the model is so awesome...
For 140 pts, if you get the free unit of Flesh hounds out of him he is totally worth those points i reckon
-
I'm thinking of running this for some upcoming 1000 pt games
Insensate rage bloodthirster
Bloodsecrator
30 Bloodletters
10 blood reavers
10 blood warriors
no strong combos, but i do find the IR thirster to be a lot of fun if i can get him into combat at the right place

Didn't blight war introduce the wheel thingy for nurgle? Perhaps something similar will come in this
-
@Roark thanks for the suggestions. Gonna keep to the khorne battletome.
Don't have much of a playstyle tbh, still figuring out what to do with BoK. Been mostly running IR thirster with slaughterborn and Mark of the slayer or juggerlord with blade of endless bloodshed. New list is built around having fun with the soul grinder, but i'm torn on the prayers - killing frenzy or bronzed flesh?
-
So i'm gonna give gore pilgrims a try for the first time, see if its worth the points. Come up with this - any suggestions for artefacts and command abilities?
Allegiance: Khorne
Bloodsecrator (140)
Bloodstoker (80)
Wrath Of Khorne Bloodthirster (320)
Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrathhammer (100)
- Blood Blessing: Killing Frenzy
Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrathhammer (100)
- Blood Blessing: Killing Frenzy
Lord Of Khorne On Juggernaut (140)

Any Wrath and Rapture pictures in WD?
Nope nothing at all unfortunately, hopefully something this weekend at blood and glory though?

@JonnyTheKing your bloodletter blob will do some serious work for you, but if it was me i would swap the wrathmongers for more bodies to put on objectives. The wrathmongers buff bubble is so small and they're too slow to keep up with the bloodletters.

Yeah its sweet, Command Ability, Unbinding and adding Immense Strenght to him makes it well worth the investment, it's a bit like a glass cannon but will work out great if you master the piece, especially due to how great his Command Ability can be with summonned Daemons throughout the game.
Command Ability would be great with the soul grinder as well, with its 12" movement and ability to run n gun

Though for monster madness I'd really suggest a Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster or Skarbrand over a Soulgrinder.
I have an Insensate rage bloodthirster which is ok, but i think i'm gonna have to get the Wrath of Khorne just for his command ability and unbind

The former and they always know their warscroll prayer in addition to the picked blood blessing.
Awesome stuff! One prayer and one blood blessing per priest per turn then (range allowing) - i've been doing only 1 of either so this is a nice boost!

Question on slaughterpriests - reading the battletome last night and it says they can bestow a blood blessing in addition to any prayers they know. Does this mean they can do killing frenzy and blood boil in the same turn, or is it implying that the blood blessing doesnt replace any prayers they know?

While Id say AoS2 point cost balance is really getting better with the GH, I will also say that some piece just arn't up to snuff for their cost.
With 3 weapons it can benefit well from extra attack buffs, and any to hit or to wound buffs would certainly help. I'm determined to keep taking it cos i love the model so much!
I'm thinking having him near wrathmongers could be good, cos its easy to get him in their buff bubble and units that can wreck the soul grinder probably don't wanna be in combat with Wrathmongers

Yup very likely, our monsters still arnt that amazing.
Will say that Council of Blood can be, but this is because of the BT buffs and the possible inclusion of Skarbrand too.
For this reason I basially don't fiddle with Soulgrinders or Daemon Princes for Khorne.It was a bit sad to see the soul grinder get destroyed in a straight up fight with a ghorgon. I think it might of had a buff or two on it, i can't remember exactly but it was very one sided. Unless the dice were against me, it makes you wonder what you're paying the points for?

Yeah mortals are nice but won't help you tear through chaff units like immense power will. I guess if you built him for hero hunting or were playing vs stormcast but then I think the rend sword or sword of judgement plus immense power would still be better.
I took the DP mainly for the letter locus and crimson crown, and devastating blow was to give him a bit of offensive potential. But yeah i think +1 dam or slaughterborn would have been better bets

What kind of loadout on your prince?
I'm thinking mark of the slayer may be better than the crimson crown. No extra attacks, but the bubble affects units, not models, and they don't need to be wholly within so daisy chain shenanigans are in effect. It also affects anything with the mark of khorne so mortals, daemons, and monsters!
Rerolling 1s to hit is almost as good as an extra attack on 6s, rerolling 1s to wound makes it even better, and you can potentially affect a lot more models. Plus a daemon prince will almost never miss with his built in +1! So immense power if he is the general plus mark of the slayer?
I had devastating blow and crimson crown. I considered mark of the slayer, but the bloodletter locus already does the reroll 1s to hit anyway. There were a couple of occasions where an extra save from the armour of scorn would have been really useful as well.
Devastating blow didnt do as much as i would of liked, as i came up against a few mortal wound saves in my games.

Played three 750 pts games last night with my Daemon Prince + soul grinder list, and lost every one! A couple were close games that swung on an objective, the other i got tabled by beasts of chaos.
Soul grinder was a bit meh tbh. It caused wounds every shooting phase and combat phase it was in, but died every game. I think with +1 or +2 A it would be decent, but its offensive power wasnt quite enough for its points. Still love the model though, so i'll keep him in my 2k list.
Wanted to try a list without the bloodsecrator and bloodletter blob, and i think the list missed real decent buffs to boost everything.

I know the 6+ change did somewhat reduce their effectiveness, but are they suddenly not worth taking anymore?
