Starting A Daemon Army

[Sekacnap]

Finished putting together my bloodthirster last night at BG and put some Flamers on backorder, finally starting to get some semblance of an army!

Yay! Army! (Sry, just had to post from China)

Alright, just put together a list last night, It looks like this so far:

HQ:
Bloodthirster 250
 - Death Strike 20
 - Unholy Might 20
Herald of Khorne 70
 - Fury of Khorne 10
 - Death Strike 15
 - Iron Hide 15
 - Unholy Might 15
Herald of Tzeentch 50
 - Bolt of Tzeentch 30
 - Breath of Chaos 30
 - Boon of Mutation 30

Elite
3x Flamers of Tzeentch 135
 - Bolt of Tzeentch 30

Troops
10x Bloodletters 160
 - Fury of Khorne 10
 - Instrument of Chaos 5
9x Bloodletters 144
 - Fury of Khorne 10
 - Instrument of Chaos 5
5x Pink Horrors  85
 - Bolt of Tzeentch 10
 - changeling 5
4x Pink Horrors  68
 - Bolt of Tzeentch 10

*EDIT* Had to take one bloodletter and pink horror out since I don't have extra models for the heralds so I'll have to use one of each of the normal troop models.

If I did my math correctly the list comes out to 1221pts. I might be able to squeeze out 1500pts if I add every option available on everything just for the sake of adding points, but i'm not sure if its more worth it to do that or just buy a few more models and make up the point difference with another squad or elite. Likewise, i could also easily cut down on a few hundred points for a 1000pt army by getting rid of an HQ and a model here and there in my troop choices (maybe two groups of 8 bloodletters?). So, what do you think? Comments, advice?

You are certainly on your way. If that is what u have for models you off to a good start I won't flood you with tactical advise. I would say make your investment a new unit instead of stretching it. I would suggest either a heavy (grinder or prince) or another elite fiends or crushers are your friend.

[Benjamin]

I agree with Bill. You are most certainly on your way. Also, bodies > upgrades.

There aren't too many 1,000 point lists that can effectively deal with a Bloodthirster.

1250 is a common number, and you're just a couple upgrades from that. Drop Fury on your Bloodletters and give them Icons, ta da!
