    Another noob question sorry. I'm not sure where its covered in the rules, but does the slaughterborn command trait apply to all the generals attacks? Ie. A juggernaut or Flesh hound? 

    Ok so i found the bit in the rules that says artefacts and traits don't effect the mount (juggernaut),  does the mlok Flesh hound count as a mount?

    Only if he's in range.

    But what if he isnt?

     

    I'm planning on using the blade of endless bloodshed on mine, and thinking of the best ways of ensuring kills. Reroll hits in combat or +1a trait? Or reroll charges to make the most of his command ability on himself?

    Thanks @Agent of Chaos, i used chaos knights in my last game. I do love them, but they failed a charge and got swamped but maybe i'll try them again. Only bloodbound i currently have is from the old starter set, but i have a load of daemons from 40k. No Flesh hounds though, but as soon as plastic ones are out i'm all over them

    No you pretty much need all 4 heroes in 1000 points. Our units need the buffs they provide and they are essential for summoning. 

    I'm really not a fan of the mighty lord. His command ability effects 3 other units but how many times in a 1000 point game would you have 3 units all looking to charge in the same turn?  Also you want him in combat but with only 5" move he doesn't get around. For a more offensive and mobile General look at a Lord of Khorne on Daemonic Mount (especially if you're running any knights), Lord on Juggernaut or Khorne Daemon Prince. 

    Bloodsecrator is essential in most khorne armies and depending on how you play, a Bloodstoker is fairly essential as well. For the sake of one slaughterpriest I probably wouldn't bother. They are extremely useful however 4+ to bless/pray is dicey and outside of gorepilgrims or a second priest for law of averages he is a bit hit or miss in 1000 points. For the same points an Aspiring Deathbringer's ability is more reliable. Assign him to  a unit of Blood Warriors or Skull Reapers and watch him go.

    thanks for the reply. My list is currently looking like this, but i might well swap the lord, blood warriors and maybe skull cannon for more letters and a mobile choppy general like you suggested.

    As i begin dipping my toe into aos2, whats a good number of heroes to take at 1000 pts blades of khorne and which are must take? I think bloodsecrator is a must have, and i like the mighty lord of khornes command trait. Bloodstoker and slaughterpriest are also both useful, but i think 4 heroes might be too many at 1000 pts?
