I am really enjoying the new Blades of Khorne book. Feels more like Khorne! Based on a grand total of five games I have the following plan:
Subfaction: Bloodlords - Bloodletters to Mortals on a 5+ to hit
Hero 1 (General) - Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury: Ar'gath King of Blades, Firebrand trait, Bloodbind Prayer Hero 2 - Bloodmaster Herald of Khorne: Killer Instinct Prayer Hero 3 - Bloodsecrator: Banner of Blood (reroll charges) Hero 4 - Slaughterpriest: Blood Sacrifice Prayer
Battleline 1 - Bloodletters x 20 Battleline 2 - Bloodletters x 10 Battleline 3 - Bloodletters x 10 Battleline 4 - Fleshhounds x 5 Battleline 5 - Bloodreavers x 10 Battleline 6 - Bloodreavers x 10 Battleline 7 - Bloodreavers x 10 Artillery - Skull Cannon
So its 40 Bloodletters running forward with the Bloodthirster dragging things into range. The BT can give one unit a 3d6 charge to boot. The BT can also go in and remove Wards and deal some damage within 3" if he is feeling feisty. His big base sound cool for that but it also restricts the number of little dudes going in.
I could sub out the Slaughterpriest for another Bloodmaster.
edited - had one unit too many!

Is there a reason for 3 units of Bloodletters, as opposed to 2 reinforced ones? I am aware you sort of want a bunch of minimum strength guys so that they die and you get the blood tithe, but on the other hand two blocks of 20 guys would be scary. Also, I see you have a Bloodthirster. Knowing nothing about them other than the fact that they look awesome, I very much approve.

The bloodthirster seems like a great replacement for the juggernauts, as a fast melee threat.

I have found (in my total of five games with them) that a 20 strong unit of Bloodletters does hit really hard, but its also quite unwieldy in tight terrain. So this list is a compromise with 1x 20 and 2 x 10 units.

That is very fair. Thanks.
