Bloodcrushers - can they fit in any more.

So I picked up an army relatively cheap. It does have some decent units

Fateweaver

LoC

3 Winged DPs MoN

Lots of horrors.

 

It also has bloodcrushers - nine of them and skulltaker ... I really want to use these guys. They got hit with the big nerf bat twice though. First they are AP3 and then 'LoS' is not nearly as good as it was. I hear rumours that the new codex release (or a white dwarf update) will make them true cavalry though and that they might even get a boost in stats. Hammer of Wrath, +! to Str, T, and attacks - wow.

So I'm loathe to trade 'em off. Might as well fit them in for now. Any thoughts on how best to use these guys?

If they become cavalry they will be insane powerful even with same stats. i guess they will cost more points though because if not then they will be almost cheat... I say keep them a while longer and see how good they will be once they become cavalry. (I also beleive they will become cavarly, i think i read somewhere that in the new chaos space marine codex there are juggernauts as mounts that are also cavalry)
So far the rumors are saying in the new C:CSM juggernaughts will be cavalry. If this is indeed the case and they carry on to C:Daemons later, then they will be incredibly powerful. Skulltaker on a jugger is also very powerful, especially with his 4+ rend.
For sure they are cavalry in the new C:CSM but it will need errata or a WD article to carry over to daemons. I've crossed my fingers. They are going to be quite good with Fateweaver again if true - hello Fatecrusher version 2. If it does not though I'm wondering how you would play them as is? How big a sqiuad. Skulltaker or naked?

There's been a rumor floating around that the 40k Daemons will be getting a White Dwarf codex, similar to the Sisters of Battle. I personally am waiting to see if this becomes true or not. I wanted to start a Daemon army earlier this year, and started building some units before I got sidetracked. I still have a lot of work to complete with my Dark Angels army, but would love to have something else to play with while not painting space marines.
