Hey/tg/, I'm a newcomer to 40K and have only just started

First Khorne Daemonkin no longer exists in 8th

Second, khorne is surprising good at closing distances if played right.

Third, run your Daemons and some CSM daemon engines, forge fiends and defilers are good and will be fluffy ways to add firepower.

>>54785134
Fun and fluffy? Definitely. Viable? Nope.

If you want to avoid CSMs and have some variety while sticking to the Daemons only dynamic, add some Forgefiends, Maulerfiends, Heldrakes and Defilers. They're Daemon Engines fabricated in the Warp, so paint them in Khorne Red and Brass and you'll be true to your goal and slightly more versatile.

It sounds like you actually want to play Age of Sigmar

>>54785336
Sadly nobody plays it

One nice thing is in the coming codex bloodletters will be cheaper. I own a hundred at the moment and love to have fun games where I try and over run people with my legion. But no, rocking pure Khorne Daemons isn't such a good idea, like the other Anons said, rock those daemon engines for they much needed support.

>>54785336
Tell me more. One problem with this is that I got into this hobby at the urging of a friend who plays Tyranids and Genestealers, so if I built an army aimed for AoS play I'd kinda be excluding him, or at least building an army that he'd consistently have an edge against.

>I want an army I don't want
Brilliant

Daemons alone besides some tzeentch combos suck hard at the moment. Maybe we get some love when the codex arrives this year but I doubt it.

To counter the lack of transports and deepstrike you can use fast Heldrakes(!) and Daemon Princes to run over the field fast and summon some infantry while you are in melee. Forgefiends can serve with some high strenght shots from afar but wont deal much damage to multi-wound models (eg tanks). you have to crack these in melee with maulerfiends, thirsters or other expensive stuff every imperial guard army will kill first or second turn and you wont fit alot in 500point games. To get a halfway decent army you should play 1000p from my experience.

With Khorne only you cant even use psychic stuff to accelerate your DPs.
So no, I would advise you to get some Havos or Raptors with meltas in.

Well, think about it. I'm new to collecting but know a fair amount about lore, I find a faction that's appealing to me, but once I get into the nuts and bolts of the practical aspect, I find that the models available and their stats don't necessarily work for what I want them to. So I take to a forum for discussing traditional gaming to explore my options.

Not that hard to understand.

>>54785134
I'd consider taking a few Word Bearers marines to summon your Khorne daemons closer to the enemy.

>>54785912
Agreed, you need at least 1k points for a decent game.

Summoned Bloodletters can be very good, with the instrument it only takes an 8 to get into combat. Pretty doable with command point rerolls.

But why?
