Bloodcrusher

This list primarily uses the Bloodthirster and lots of combo charges to deal with scary units. I want to make it competitive but using a different type of play style.

Bloodletter units are way to small. They will get weakened so much they wont really have an impact.

Why Lore of Fire on HoT I thought this was comp?

HoT should have Life or Shadow or Light (preferebly the first 2).

Firestorm blade is unnecessary on the Herald of Khorne.


If I were you I would try combine the Letters into a unit of 40ish with Icon of Endless War.

Rest of the letters change to a Horror Block to bunker your heralds (life and Shadow). Then drop the Crushers for 2 Fiends this should give you like 60is points left to spend on the horror unit.

Clearly Halfblood missed the "MSU" part....

He is right on a few things however inadvertant it was. MSU is all about speed, as such you should be taking highly mobile units with big time movement values to control which combats you get pushed into. This is all the more important with demons as you are immune to psychology and cannot flee from charges. To help with this, I'd drop the crushers for Fiends, the additional movement will help loads, I'd get the HoTs flying to keep them away from enemy charges, and take a GDoS with spirit swallower instead of the thirster. I'd also look into trying out flamers instead of hounds as the skirmish rule is almost designed for MSU.

I fail to see how this is competitive. Aside from the fact that MSU doesn't work for most armies, it especially doesn't work for armies such as Daemons and Undead who need numbers to offset their downsides. Having lores that don't synergise too well with anything other than the Bloodthrister aren't too good either. I reckon Life for Flesh on your T3 dudes, and bump to units to at least 20 each.

Im not familiar with MSU.

[Morax]

Multiple Small Units or Minimum Sized Units. Either way units of 40 would be straight out.
