Rage of Khorne

This is an attempt at a pure Khorne Daemon list.
It is probably not that great. It does have 4 Monstrous Creatures at 1500 points though. I have a feeling it would either wreck-face or plummet badly ....

Troops: Bloodletters of Khorne (16#, 195 pts)
   15 Bloodletters of Khorne, 180 pts = 15 * 10 (base cost 10) + DG: Instrument of Chaos 10 + DG: Banner of Blood 20
      1 Bloodreaper, 15 pts

Heavy Support: Daemon Prince (1#, 250 pts)

I'd really like to find a use for skarbrand. Not sure this is it, but... it's worth a try.

Daemonwake

The idea behind this army is to make use of the warpstorm table in a one-sided ... shenanigan..

You actually have a lot of scoring in this list, I just don't know if it brings enough hurt. You get to re-roll on the storm table, then re-roll 2 of the "to-hit" rolls. I Just don't know if 2 strikes per turn on average makes it worthwhile. It is sort of flexible. Not sure if it does the job of clearing the board though. There is some shooting, some psychic, some melee and big scoring. Oh, and you are pretty much immune to the bad side of the warpstorm hits, bar 3 units.

Chaos Daemons Roster
Total Roster Cost: 1750

Primary Detachement

HQ: Kairos Fateweaver (1#, 300 pts)
   1 Kairos Fateweaver, 300 pts

Troops: Daemonettes of Slaanesh (10#, 100 pts)
   10 Daemonettes of Slaanesh, 100 pts = 10 * 9 (base cost 9) + DG: Instrument of Chaos 10

Troops: Daemonettes of Slaanesh (10#, 100 pts)
   10 Daemonettes of Slaanesh, 100 pts = 10 * 9 (base cost 9) + DG: Instrument of Chaos 10

Allied Detachment

HQ: Fabius Bile (1#, 165 pts)
   1 Fabius Bile (HQ) [Chaos], 165 pts

Elite: Possessed (10#, 260 pts)
   9 Possessed (Elite) [Chaos], 234 pts = 9 * 26
      1 Possessed Champion [Chaos], 26 pts

Troops: Chaos Space Marines (20#, 315 pts) Enhanced Warriors
   19 Chaos Space Marines (Troops) [Chaos], 272 pts = 19 * 13 (base cost 13) + Meltagun 10 + Missile Launcher 15
      1 Aspiring Champion [Chaos], 43 pts = (base cost 23 + Melta Bombs 5 + Power Sword x1 15)

   34 Chaos Cultists (Troops) [Chaos], 136 pts = 34 * 4
      1 Cultist Champion [Chaos], 14 pts

   5 Chaos Spawn (Fast) [Chaos], 150 pts = 5 * 30

Heavy Support: Obliterator (3#, 210 pts)
   3 Obliterator (Heavy) [Chaos], 210 pts = 3 * 70

Need.. 10 more cultists, 3 more chaos spawn, Fateweaver, both units of Daemonettes, re-do fabius bile,
a lot of wrok here- could also do with re-doing the chaos marines. But it overlaps with other armies.

Planned Minis- Chaos Marines Tattered Fates

So in the past, a mini plan has resulted in bupkis. Never the less I am doing it again. This time- 3 related armies I'm aiming for, which I have actually fielded, or at least similar, and have a few models for.

So the ideas are as follows-

Daemon-engines Will Not Die.
The core of the army here is a lot of AV 12 with "daemon" and "it will not die" At 1750 it doesn't have a lot of scoring, but it does pull some evil shenanigans. It is also not spammy, in the sense that each unit is different, and actually have quite different functions. There is no instant win button here, but a big toolbox of nasty.

Initially I'm going to model this straight out of the box as GW imagined them.. easy for folks to see what is going on. But at some point I want to build clockwork-bound-warp-engines, and fit this out as "The Red Cages", and erasmus haarlock's minions. (see tattered fates, sinophia, quaddis, xicarph)
