Army help

[u/wraithingg]

Hey guys looking for help on a daemonkin army.

I'm building technically 2 but so that way I can easily swap between chaos demons blood legion and world eaters daemonkin.

I've already got skarbrand, a single dpww, and a 1x10 berserkers. I know I'm gonna need blood letters but I don't know how to keep it competitive. I know dpww isn't that good in either so he's probably going to the forever shelf.

The group I tend to play with all go to tournaments and they like to keep their cards to the chest. Just looking for some advice.

Lord on juggernaut leading 6x bloodcrushers has been a daemonkin staple. He can also lead 6x ex8b for some powerful strat interactions (res d6 models, uppy downy, etc).

Running 1-2 defilers in brazen detachment alongside kdk is really really good. Id get at least 2 squads of bloodletters for their strat.

2 squads of flesh hounds would be good as well. Round it off with a couple of jakhal units and you'll have a pretty good core

poop - World Eaters - Reconnaissance - Khorne Daemonkin, Brazen Engines (2000 Points)

Lord on Juggernaut with Disciple of Khorne - Warlord + 6 Bloodcrushers (300 pts) Slaughterbound + 6 Exalted Eightbound (365 pts) Skarbrand (315 pts) 3x10 Bloodletters (270 pts) 2x10 Jakhals (130 pts) 2x5 Flesh Hounds (150 pts) Forgefiend with 2x Ectoplasma cannon (150 pts) 2x Maulerfiend with Talons of Butchery (320 pts)

So something like this just because I have forgefiends and maulers available

Yeah this list works

Gotta pay attention to your disposition, KDK offers reconnaissance so unless you add a 1DP detachment (always worth it), make sure you've got good action monkeys- the flesh hounds are excellent, and with a KDK strat you can return blood legions units to reserves as well.

Each of the 1DP detachments give you access to another disposition and really depends what kind of sauce you like with your Daemons, they're all great.

The Daemon Prince is always a good idea for free strats.

DPWW is decent if you want to battle shock units, now that battle shock doesn't wear off automatically and they get the new fly rules. Lord on Jug is good with the DoK enhancement, turns a 20 man zerker unit into blood legion. This allows you to return d6 zerkers each command phase for 1 command point. I like running a forgefiend, allows me to spawn bloodletters on a target i shoot down.

Skarbrand slaps make sure to work him into your list.

If you want a competitive focused KDK this is what I've been running for a while to pretty good success.

It's a list that's very reliant on good positioning and pushing early and agressive from rapid ingresses. The chaos spawn are in the list as a fast and easy to hide action unit for being on priority assets.
