Kult of Khaine (fluffy) 2500 pts

[Minsc]

I've been toying with the idéa for making and playing with a Kult of Khaine-themed army for quite some time, and I came up with the following:

=Lords & Heroes=

Keeper of the Kult
Dreadlord - 425 pts
Crimson Death. Armour of Darkness, Pendant of Khaeleth,
Manticore

Watcher of Khaines Banner.
Death Hag - 200 pts
BSB, Standard of Hag Graef, Rune of Khaine, Manbane Poison.

Guardian of the Sacred Relic
Death Hag 215 pts
Cauldron of Blood, Hand of Khaine.

Keeper of the Cursed Ring
Sorceress - 150 pts
Level 1, Dispell Scroll, Ring of Hotek.

(Fluffwise it means that she's a Sorceress that the Kult has enslaved, and that she's forced to wear the ring as a penalty for using magic. Gamewise it's just a way to force the Ring into the army, and a chance to get a good laugh when I tell my opponent that my only caster is wearing the ring .)

=Core=

Needles of Khaela
10x Repeater Crossbowmen - 100 pts

Needles of Mensha
10x Repeater Crossbowmen - 100 pts

Needles of Khaine
10x Repeater Crossbowmen - 100 pts

Angles of the Bloody Handed God.
5x Harpies - 55 pts

Disciple of Khaine.
Assassin - 146 pts
Additional Handweapon, Rune of Khaine, Manbane Poison.

13x Executioners - 211 pts

5x Shades - 90 pts

=Rare=

Flame of Khaine

=Misc.=

Pts: 2498/2500
Modells: 85 (wich includes a Manticore and 2 Hydras)
PD: 3
DD: 3 + 1 Scroll + Ring of Hotek.
Entries: 10 + Scouts

Battleplan:

Executioners and Witch Elves form the center of the army, with the Cauldron and the Sorceress close by.
Harpies redirect/annoy. Shades marchblock/annoy.
RxBmen support with some ranged firepower.
The Hydras cover a flank each.
Dreadlord causes as much havoc as he can.

Feedback welcome!

Feedback: This army is awesome. I think beyond fluff you'll have some success with it. Lets see a bat rep.

Agreed. You have just enough magic defense. Remember to protect those witches from getting shot up. I would also love to see a battle report of how this army fairs against others.

Thanks guys.

I'll prolly test this list now in the comming week, I'll post a rep.

Right, a slight update;

Tried this list vs Ogres yesterday.

He had something in the lines of;

Tyrant, Bruiser BSB, 2 Butchers.
3x4 Bulls /w adhw & Bellower.
3x3 Ironguts /w Bellower.
8x Gnoblar Trappers
2x2 Leadbelchers /w Bellower.
2x Gorgers.

The game ended in a total Massacre in my favour; 2825 VP vs 0 VP!

At the end of the game he had a Gorger left, and I had everything left. (except 2 dead RxBelves and 4 Dead Executioners.)

My opponent was quite unlucky overall in that game though.
(Or Khaine simply smiled on me?)

Good Job!

Put their blood in the Cauldron to please our God!

My witch elves were to fragile on Sunday. Your corrsbowmen were ok without shields?
