| With the announcement of next year's Shiloh Slaughter, I have resolved myself to once and for all finally learn to play WHFB. The issue now is which of my armies can be built up and used as a viable list. The two sets of models I have with potential are Chaos Daemons and Skaven. If I could get some suggestions on where to go with them that would be greatly Appreciated.
What I've got:
Daemons
50 Bloodletters 3 Full Bloodletter Command Groups 8 Fleshounds 5 Juggernauts 2 Daemon Princes Skulltaker
Skaven
60 Clanrats 3 Full Clanrat Command Groups 2 Rat Ogres 1 Pack Master Poisoned Wind Mortar Warpfire Thrower IoB Warlock IoB Warlord | |

| Skaven are a stronger list than Daemons right now, but you have a perfect Khornate army right now as is. Just break the bloodletters into the biggest blocks you can get under the points caps and run at people. | |

| i like the idea of hitting things with a big mob of bloodletters i got a solid deal on some more daemons from ebay, so I think that's the list i'm going with. my big question is: since this is an older codex, does that mean I can't take skulltaker? also, is magic a really big deal, should I consider fateweaver or a lord of change or tzeentch herald? added to what i've got once they arrive: 20 bloodletters 10 daemonettes 10 pink horrors 5 seekers 3 bloodcrushers | |

| People frown on things alot more in Fantasy than they do in 40k. I believe skull taker is on that list. Magic is pretty important, but if you are khorne demons, you are wanting to get into combat as fast as possible, so magic isn't as necessary. I've seen people play it both ways effectively.
That extra d6 banner on charge for the bloodletters would be pretty good. | |

| If you're asking for Shiloh - only the 8th edition books (hard back) are allowed for Special Characters.
Demons have fantastic magic. 40 pink horrors w/ +1 to cast banner or a lvl2 loremaster tzeentch demon (or both) are very formidable. | |
