Panzer Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Well a Bloodthirster and some Bloodcrushers. ;) Other than that it seems you are mostly fine. Got a decent amount of Bloodletters, 6 Bloodcrushers, 10 Fleshhounds, various HQs. There's honestly not much more you CAN add except for Skullcannons and more Bloodletters (not sure how many you already have).

Panzer Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Not sure why the Bloodcrusher part is still there. I actually deleted and replaced it with an “of course“ after I double checked Wrath&Rapture and realised you already have a bunch. :huh: I'd get more Bloodletters though, so you have one big unit and two smaller units.

Closet Skeleton Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 All daemon factions have the same problem of the core troops being the best value so for Khorne basically: Competitive: A relic axe daemon prince, a few heralds and as many bloodletters as possible. Friendly: Mix in other stuff at the expense of as many bloodletters as possible.

Panzer Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I honestly don't see that as a problem. I love that the battleline units are actually something you want a lot of in your army with the other units just being there to support them. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355399-starting-daemons/#findComment-5298963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 I was planning of Using 3 units of 20 bloodletters as my troops On top of that i will run 2x6 Bllodcrushers 1x10 Fleshounds 2/3 Skull Cannons About HQ what to use? I have a DP, Karanak, Skulltaker, Herald on foot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355399-starting-daemons/#findComment-5298966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Crimson Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Daemon prince and Karanak are great for Khorne. Reroll and heavy damage. The other gives a couple of denies, that Khorne normally lacks.

I love that the battleline units are actually something you want a lot of in your army with the other units just being there to support them. ^^ The 'problem' is that the other non-character units don't support the battleline, they weaken the battleline by stopping it from achieving a critical mass of target saturation. Having subpar high point cost units is an advantage if you want a monetarily cheaper lower tier army but it makes competitive list building incredibly bland.

Panzer Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 To be fair, competetive list building is usually very bland anyway. But yeah I see where you are coming from and I agree. The problem is that many units are just too redundant to properly support the battleline unit. Seekers? They are basically fast Daemonettes. Seeker chariots? Fast Daemonettes in green. Exalted Seeker chariot? Fast Daemonettes in a different tone of green. Hellflayer is yet another variation of it. They all want to do the same. Get to the enemy fast and deal damage in form of S3/4 AP-1/-4 D1 attacks. Naturally only one such unit can be the best at it. Alright the Hellflayer has a redeeming feature in form of some S8 AP-1 D2 attacks which is probably the reason why you see that one in lists still but none of the others. Fiends on the other hand are a great example for a supporting unit. Their main deal is to bind enemy units in melee and to mess with psykers. They are decently durable and have decent damage output but that's not the reason why you take them.
