Today I'll be going over what I consider to be the very best Khorne Daemon units, along with some of the (many) combos you can use to get the most out of these guys. Whether playing mono-god or mixed, competitive tournaments or casual garagehammer, Khorne should have something for pretty much everybody!

For pretty much all of 10th Edition Warhammer 40k, Khorne has been considered on of the best Gods for Chaos Daemons to run - especially for tournament play & after the Q3 Dataslate I think this still holds out today. We have some of the THE very best Greater Daemons (Bloodthirster, Skarbrand) along with ultra efficient scoring/charff (Flesh Hounds) & some of the deadliest melee units out there (Bloodletters and/or Bloodcrushers). Toss on the extreme buffage the Rendmaster of Khorne affords us & it gets kinda wild...
Of all the GT winning lists that go mono-god, Khorne is by far the most popular & for good reason! That said it's not only in a competitive environment that he shines as even in more casual games he's one of the most FUN Chaos Gods you can bring along. Optimally you'd mix him with Nurgle or Slaanesh etc but even on his own he won't disappoint you on the tabletop
I plan to turn this into a series covering all of the Chaos Gods: Nurgle, Slaanesh & Tzeentch, so let me know who you'd like to see next!
Please consider liking & subscribing if you haven't already, I really couldn't be here without you guys so sincerely thank you all so much for coming along with me!

After that last dataslate, Daemons are looking the best they've looked all of 10th edition & Khorne is no exception to that! I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on them though or if there's anything you disagree with or think I missed. Hope you guys enjoy the video!! PS: Let me know which Chaos God you guys would like to see covered next ;)

@wodampaints906 16 дней назад

I'd like to see a Tzeentch Tier List, especially because of the new Kairos. As usual great Daemon Content ❤ favorite YT channel at the moment

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

Aw shucks, thank you Wodam!! I will most definitely get to Tzeentch, they've become one of my favorite god's lately (I used to not care for them *as* much but they've really grown on me). Right now it's about 50/50 if I do them or Slaanesh next but we shall see. Either way, tyvm for the kind words

@fatarchon 5 дней назад

That's a great use for him so good point. There's some (really good) tournament players out there that swear by them too so for sure you can make a strong list with him, he just doesn't fit my style all that well. Then again at only 95pt it almost doesn't matter hah

I been world eater player since 8th edition still kinda noob at the game but I been slowly getting into khorne daemons too I actually ran into your videos yesterday when I got myself a Skullcannon and wanting to see what's good in just chaos daemons. Your videos been a life saver for me I wish this video was out yesterday though since I didn't know rendmaster was sooo good. oh well I'll just buy another kit for them and build it cause holy crap they are good!! I really appreciate your video format makes it easy to understand. 🐈‍⬛😻

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

Thank you Midnight! Newer Daemon players are one of my main targets so that's fantastic to hear you were able to stumble across this one! For your skull cannon, if you used super glue (& NOT plastic glue) you can toss it in the freezer for like an hour & it should come apart easy 😜 Also! The Rendmaster model that sits on top makes a perfect Bloodmaster kitbash (just his head), it's how I did it with my army. Either way even if you can't/don't convert him you're still spoiled for options

@midnightkunai4994 16 дней назад

@jdtatum4176 3 дня назад

Skull Cannon battleshock is key, but not as you said. Use it in combination with the Shadow of Chaos, and get some mortals. Include 2 cannons in every list, and enjoy.

@fatarchon 3 дня назад

Great suggestion! There's a good # of players (some of the top players at that!) who swear by Skull Cannons so maybe I need to give them another look sometime. Appreciate you sharing your own thoughts

@MrSmitejr 9 дней назад

I think for the thirsters it's Enhancement Thirster>Skarbrand>non-enhancement thirster. It's understandable to cut out the thirster if you were wanting to run winged prince with enhancement, but the 9 attack bloodthirster is just cracked. The sweep profile getting an extra ap over skarbrand is also a big deal. His buff is also more applicable. Skarbrand's benefit doesn't apply to all the Extra Attacks, so he doesn't help out the rendmaster or bloodcrushers as much as the bloodthirster does. Skarbrand's mobility being less is a huge detriment, as is his second ability being so much less reliable than the thirsters for followup punches. Not to mention the fact that Skar gives up 6 points on Bring it Down compared to the Thirster's 4.

@fatarchon 9 дней назад

Those are all fair points! Tbh I think it just comes down to preference when it comes to BT vs Skarbrand, they're both super close. Obv I rate the +1A a slight bit higher but really I run both of them these days hah

@al3817 16 дней назад

Awesome video, thank you! Will you be doing a video for all the other Deamons?

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

@RVD1OFAKIND 16 дней назад

I feel letters are underrated because they can go through walls. With 10 giant walls on WTC, opponents LOVE to hide actual units behind them while putting trash the the left or right of them to prevent Mounted/Monster units charging them. Letters just go through and kill them though. The "the unit has dev wounds now" Skullmaster buff isn't good at all. Letters don't have a giant number of attacks or full wound re-rolls that will transform it into Dev Wounds. So you're for the character you gain like 2-3 dev wounds, at least 1-2 of which the opponent would fail the 4++ (if he even has one) anyway. So the buff is almost meaningless. Rendmaster does hit hard because almost every relevant target is Character(aka has an attached leader) or Monster

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

The Dev Wounds *can* come in clutch but I mostly agree in the sense that Bloodmaster is usually my first pick for a BL bomb / to really eek out the DWs you need both Skarbrand + Rendmaster nearby so it's a lot of effort. I do think most people underrate them too. Great point on the walls, a lot of folks don't realize how much that hampers most Daemons lists when they go so big on monsters & mounted. But yeah I love my Bloodletters too, they're one of the main reasons I quit bringing Belakor so often (god knows how many times the damage for cheaper, tho they're both valid ofc!)

@tazzgreen4905 16 дней назад

Good stuff man keep it up! Btw Mask of Slanesh has advanced,fall back and charge.

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

Good looking out! I had a feeling it was hidden *somewhere* in the Index 😜 Appreciate the comment friend

@RLNTSS2 11 дней назад

Winged Khorne Daemon Prince supported by a Rendmaster is insane. 6 strike attacks at strength 11, AP -3, and Damage 4 is amazing. On top of that, you get either sustained hits, lethal hits or free precision. He is very survivable too with a 2+/4++. I like to run two alongside 2 Rendmasters, a Bloodthirster and Skarbrand. The Princes and one rendmaster (or both if really needed) go one way, Skarbrand and Bloodthirster go the other. Most people over commit to Skarbrand and Bloodthirster, so Princes clean house.

@fatarchon 11 дней назад

@RLNTSS2 you know, that sounds like a legit way to run a DP. That's ones of the fun parts of Khorne w/all the combos you can cook up just with Rendmaster alone 😜

@McFatson 16 дней назад

Lookin' forward to the inevitable Slaanesh video. ...and hoping slaanesh gets a Combat Patrol with the codex release. Even though we both know it's going to Nurgle.

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

You know, GW doesn't seem *as* Nurgle obsessed as they used to be so.. Who knows! I'm a huge Nurgle fan boy but throughout all of 8th & 9th even I was getting kinda tired of it haha

@McFatson 16 дней назад

Good point, I suppose they got a lot of love earlier though Death Guard. But Pink/Blue Horrors makes a Tzeench ComPat logistically funky, and GW are too cowardly to put Slaaneshi stuff on center stage for their product. I really fucking hope the new Daemons ComPat is just the old one but with 150 less points worth of units. But as I type this out my gut is telling me that's what its gonna be. Actually you know what? Calling it now. It's gonna be the old ComPat but with one less squad of bloodletters, a different HQ, and no bloodcrushers. Save the screenshot lmao.

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

Lmao, I shouldn't gloat but the moment Combat Patrol became a thing I *knew* GW was going to start screwing every army over so I ended up buying x3 of every Start Collecting for every Chaos God (& CSM!). There will NEVER be as good of deal as those again :( The Tzeentch one might've been their best kit ever.. Flamers, Screamers, Pinks, Exalted Flamer & Fateskimmer - which I magnetized ofc lol. Basically their entire army all in a $75 box.. Jfc times have changed. For their CP, tbh, I'm not surprised if they'll change it at all this edition. Prolly do some limited release kits that sell out the same day but that's all. But hey maybe they'll surprise us ;P I agree Slaanesh is risqué for them, I'm just happy they're still around. To GW's credit they didn't reel back the s*xuality at all with their last releases tho

@McFatson 16 дней назад

Oh jeez. I'm pretty jealous. All I have from back in the day is an old set of the new daemonettes and some super old 10 pack of chaos space marines, the old one where the sprue had one extra helmet/shoulder combo for each chaos god. Been thinking of ways to get a chaos army with maximum savings. But it's a long term projects because they're like my 3rd army and I still only have like 19 jump pack models (counting 4 characters) for my Blood Angels lol.

@Kakashi-ip8mg 16 дней назад

I would have never understood how awesome Khorne daemons are without your videos. I think they are kinda insane compared to other armies. Not O.P. But crazy fun.

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

Thank you Kakashi! 'Spreading the word' on Daemons is big to me, so it means a lot to hear you say that 😜 & yes, Khorne (+ Daemons in general) are one of the premiere melee armies & like you say they aren't OP in the least yet are incredibly FUN / unique to play

@bensdn3969 16 дней назад

Hi thank you for your content. You did not speak about the khorne daemon princes. Where would you place them please ?

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

They aren't terrible. The issue I have with them is for 40pt more you can bring a GUO (I know that's not Khorne but still). That said some people have been experimenting with him more & he's most definitely still usable. I prefer the foot ver for the Stealth bubble & the 3++. So yeah, he's fine. Nothing standout but completely valid, imho

@somerton4383 13 дней назад

I'm just starting Chaos Space Marines (Night Lords) and have a Khorne daemon combat patrol from when I first started. I was just wondering if any Khorne daemons could be worth allying into a CSM list? I only have 1 bloodmaster, 20 bloodletters, 10 flesh hounds and 3 bloodcrushers at the moment of course

@fatarchon 13 дней назад

Yes very much! I wouldn't say they're optimal or anything but they can give you a big melee punch & you can still Deepstrike all of them if you wanted. Like I say in the vid I think BLs on their own kinda suck so I'd probably attach a Bloodmaster personally. That would eat up an allie slot sadly (I think..) so to bring more you'd have to bring another squad.. So actually you COULD skip it if you wanted but they'd lose a lot of their punch Then again if you play with friends just ask if it's cool if you bring an extra unit of Khorne. 90% of folks shouldn't care! Beyond that, while Flesh Hounds are amazing obviously Bloodcrushers are way more FUN so I'd prolly lean towards them 😜

@somerton4383 13 дней назад

@fatarchon I only play with friends so that's probably the way to go! Not sure what I'll bring, but it's probably worth experimenting with! Might consider getting a bloodthirster down the line, but hopefully they'd be alright with me skipping the battleline tax and just taking what I'd like 😅 Thanks for the help!

@tomsutton6451 16 дней назад

Great video. Am I missing something: my understanding is you can't flip objectives to deny primary with Skull Cannon. If you battleshock with it, its in your turn, so when your opponent comes to score in their command phase, the battleshock will have worn off?

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

If I said primary then I misspoke hah, really I mean for secondaries - so yes you're spot on! My bad if I said that, one day I'll start using scripts 😜

@tomsutton6451 16 дней назад

Haha nah I was just checking if they're better than I thought they were. I'm still gonna try them. Thanks again for the video

@BeaTrip_ 16 дней назад

I was debating on adding one of the daemon princes to my mono Khorne army. I saw your dedicated video for them. Does anyone use the Khorne ones competitively?

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

Competitively? No unfortunately not really. HOWEVER, just because something isn't meta doesn't mean they aren't usable. That stealth aura is low key stronk & would go a long way with all your 4++'s so don't think you're screwing yourself by bringing one. It's just a GUO in 40pt more so they usually skipped (obv not mono Khorne but still)

@coganwestlake7316 16 дней назад

On the blood crusher you state in cover you go to a 3+ save but daemons don't gain the benefit of cover right?

@fatarchon 15 дней назад

Nah we do gain cover saves! It's just in the vast majority of cases our invul is as good or better than our regular cover saves so it *usually* doesn't matter. But nah we can totally still benefit from cover when it comes up!

@treydudley7966 16 дней назад

What do you think about the Soul Grinder with the rules/points update? Easier to move around, but not as good at tank shocking.

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

You know, I was thinking about the Khorne version last night (just for staying mono / using him offensively). He's not that far behind a BT damage wise & even resiliency is way up there considering the cost. I still think Tzeentch is best for the range output but yeah at 180pt they're completely valid! I'm not sure they're auto include levels but pretty much any list can bring some without handicapping themselves

@treydudley7966 15 дней назад

@@fatarchonI’m a Khorne guy all the way and it really chafes me that the Khorne ones gun is so much worse for no points decrease. But at the same time I still really want to run one.

@fatarchon 15 дней назад

A 2d6 flamer ain't so bad but I do agree it isn't on the same level as pretty much any of the other options. I'd have liked if they made it 1d6 but 2D instead (something like that - heck maybe better melee?). Either way, he's still fine even Khorne marked as that means you can deepstrike him in with a BT or similar with their SoC so it's not hopeless heh

@jeffkonkol1625 12 дней назад

Is there a value on overwatching with a unit of 12 flesh hounds or does the low attack value and lack of AP just make it a lot of dice for no damage. I never see it discussed as a viable strat with them, but 10d6 overwatch flamers, even weak ones, followed by a free heroic intervention seems good.

@fatarchon 12 дней назад

So, unfortunately it's only x1 flamer per squad 😭 Still, with a Rendmaster they get brutal good in melee at least!

@generaltso2901 16 дней назад

Thoughts on Khorne prince with wings and Soulgrinder?

@fatarchon 16 дней назад

Prince is hard to rate because he has an amazing ability (6" Stealth bubble + 3++ OPG if foot ver), but at the same time you could bring a GUO or Rotigus for 40pt more. I think he's fantastic for players who don't have a really large collection but once you start getting all the Greater Daemons he falls behind a bit. Soul Grinder on the other hand is baller imho. 180pt for praaaactically the same output as a GD & not much worse resilience is fantastic. I'd still run him Tzeentch 90% of the time but even Khorne marked he'll make a damn deadly distraction Carnifex, who can actually murder if he gets in close! But yeah, that's my opinion on those guys :)

I see Skarbrand is higher than bloodthirster. They seem very similar - one is slightly tougher and the other is faster and can take enchantment. Why did you rate Skarbrand higher? Just looks so similar to me

@fatarchon 14 дней назад

They're indeed incredibly similar & for sure there's an argument to be made that they're either equal or could switch spots etc. Part of the issue, for me, is the points drop is so fresh that I'm still mainly experienced with using Skarbrand so maybe the BT's capabilities hasn't fully settled in for me yet 😜 That said, I've ran him a bunch since the dataslate & while he's done AMAZING I still lean towards Skarbrand edging him out ever so slightly. Mainly I really like the set 6D & I think the +1A aura is superior to the +1tH. But yeah BT has done fantastic so for sure just because I put him A+ over S doesn't mean he can't be ran in every list! Obv we all have our own tastes 'n styles too so might be a hint of bias hidden in there lol
