Theoryhammer - hard as nails Khorne Daemons

Played a few games last night and it got me thinking about how I would run my Khorne Daemons better. Thinking of running this Daemon army but it would mean another 20 bloodletters I'd need to buy.

This is mainly for against Chaos Warriors or armies without cannons.

I'm beginning to hate charge redirectors like you wouldn't believe. So more Furies (the Avatars of War ones look awesome) in there to get rid of those pesky blighters. For other armies whch I expect to take lots of redirecters and war machines I'd take this list.

1 Bloodcrusher

Blood crushers on the most part suck but occasionally have their uses. I'm finding the Great Icon of Despair exceedingly usueful virtually against all armies. Especially in the big horde unit of Bloodletters it should go well. Lots of furies for chasing down things that wont fight me fairly like charge redirectors;-) Charge redirecting on one small unit is such a broken mechanic. I used a Bloodthrister last night and not convinced too much on him versus more daemons. However I will always max out heroes because they are essential to normal. I do also have a Chariot.
