Chaos Daemons vs Khorne Daemonkin Battle Report

I want to start with this match because it's the most fun I had in the last months. We decided not to use vehicles or monstrous creatures. I broke the rules when my Chaos lord became a daemon prince and also summoned a Bloodthirster but I didn't get to use them so it was fine. The Chaos daemons had proxied  Plaguebearers on 40mm bases as Beasts of Nurgle, along with the Nurgle Spawn model. Plaguebearers on 60mm bases act as Plague Drones. The Herald of Nurgle is proxied by a Herald of Khorne model. Unpainted Plaguebearers on 40mm bases act as Fiends of Slaanesh, along with the Slaaneshi Spawn model.

Here are the armies:

 Each of us had around 70 models and we both started with everything on the table, we knew that it was going to bee a blood feast and we didn't want to delay it with reserves. I won to deploy first and to start the game. Here is the deployment:


Khorne Daemonkin Turn 1:

I draw the following objectives: Behind enemy lines, secure objective 2  and a khorne specific to kill an entire unite in the assault phase.
Since we both had beasts, cavalry and my opponent (Endre) had daemons of Slanesh, I hesitated to take the middle. All the little shooting that I had, didn't hurt anyone. Behind enemy lines was not that hard to achieve because of the deployment, I ran with the terminators, ran with the bloodcrushers and turbo-boosted the bikers to get objective 2 that was in front of some pretty purple ladies. With 3 units within 12" on the opponents table edge I got 2 points and getting obj. 2 I had 3 points.



Chaos Daemons Turn 1:

The Daemonettes came closer to see the bling on the bikes but they were really not impressed and attacked them like crazy slaughtering them like lambs for easter. Tzeentch made the fire for the biker barbecue and made a lot of wounds on the bloodcrushers. I didn't made any of the saves and 3 and a half bloodchers died.





Khorne Daemonkin Turn 2:

I had enough bloodthied points to summon a squad of bloodletters. Everybody moved up and attacked. Bloodcrushers on the right took out a squad of fiends. Dumb flesh hounds didn't manage to kill a nurgle beast and got stuck in combat with him the entire match. The biker feast continued with the second squad. The second squad of flesh hounds took out some pink horrors and the lord got stuck in combat with a nurgle beast. Possessed were the MVPs of the game they made a lot of wounds on the plague drones.


Chaos Daemons Turn 2:

 The crazy purple ladies attacked the bloodcrushers and took them out to dinner, to find out that they are the main course. Two other squads of pretty ladies attacked my bloodletters and a squad of fiends joined the fight against the chaos lord. Possessed managed to take out the entire squad of of plague drones.





Khorne Daemonkin Turn 3:

 Not to get my warlord killed I used the bloodthied points to transform him into a daemon prince summoning at the same time a Bloodthirster. Possessed took out the squad of crazy ladies. The other 2 squads of Daemonettes took out my bloodletters and my terminators shoot down a couple of fiends.


Chaos Daemons Turn 3:

 The 2 squads of Daemonettes completelly removed my terminators easily my possessed got attacked by beasts of nurgle and fiends but I won combat and because of demonic instability all of my opponents models were removed. As I said earlier Possessed were the MVPs of the game.



At this point the store was closing and we had been playing for about 5 hours so we called it. The score was Chaos Daemons 12 - 7 Khorne Daemonkin.
It was a really nice game, we both had fun and I didn't even get mad.
