I like all three lists. I noticed that you have no Bloodcrushers to go your juggernaut mounted herald or Skulltaker on juggernaut. Are you planning on running them together as a pair in your 2nd and 3rd lists or with units of Flesh Hounds? By the way I like all of the flesh hound units. Why no comma...

How about this...use several "expendable" units (like minimum size harpies) to run him around. Since he is Frenzied he has to charge, pursue, etc. If you could get him redirected and away from your army you could probably take him out of the game for at least a turn or two. And since they...

I believe you can read the rules in the Gifts of Khaine section as written, RAW, and arrive at what many people believe is what is intended, RAI: The very first sentence of the rule for Manbane speaks of a model with a weapon. Here we stop. Which model? In this example an assassin with S4 Which weap...

Er, you don't count Manbane Strength when you have to take yourself the Strength test, that's like saying Executioners count their Great Weapons when it comes to S tests. Manbane is a weapon, not a strength bonus to the assassin himself. Milney, I think you're stretching the words a bit too far on ...

If you are looking for models to use for Shades with great weapons why not use the Manflayer models? They have RxB and GW and look great.

As a Khornate Daemon player since 5th Ed and a Dark Elf player I don't have a problem with the list and I don't consider it WAAC. There are a lot worse combos out there. Using the old Daemonic Legion list I used to run a Daemon Prince, a Daemonic Herald BSB, Daemonic Herald, 2x 14 and 1 x 15 Bloodle...

An alternative build for your Bloodthirster: Obsidian Armor, Immortal Fury, and Spellbreaker. Gives you the 3+ armor plus nullifies magic weapons, gives you rerolls to hit so its like getting the extra attacks from Dark Insanity, and it gives you a dispel scroll. Army total goes to 1998.

I would do both but I would base them with square bases for Fantasy. I've used my daemons for both games for years with the square bases with no problems and I'm a tourney player in both games. You will find that the daemons work fairly similarly between 40K and FB.

Immortal Fury isn't first round only. You're confusing it with Soul Hunger, which is first round only re-roll for wounds. I may go with Obsidian Armor, that was one of my other ideas. The one reason I wanted MR 3 is that with only 2 DD I don't want to have to use any defending the bloodthirster agai...

I've been playing a Khornate Daemonic Legion since 5th Ed. I really liked the SoC rules. And even with an entirely frenzied army there was only one game I ever had problems controlling the army.

At most GW sponsored events (Gamesday, Ard Boyz, and GTs) in the US now SoC lists and items are no longer usable. That also goes for Albion items and cjharacters and most Dogs of War units except for Giants and Ogre Kingdom units. Sadly that includes Mengil's Manflayers. :(

I used this strategy in the Ard Boyz tournament I played in and it worked well. No need to scout with them. The shades provide a good escort for the sorceress and because you aren't in base contact some of the worst effects of miscasts are avoided. I was able to deploy the shades in my zone and then...
