Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Khorne Daemonkin (section)

==Why Play [[Khorne]] Daemonkin?==

A quick Disclaimer: Daemonkin as an army only exist in 7th edition. Cheers Games Workshop.

Because you're an old neckbeard who can remember the days of a unified codex for all the forces of [[Chaos]], when daemons walked alongside marines.  Or you could be thinking that the [[Warriors of Chaos]] had a neato deal on it thanks to [[The End Times]] merging them with Daemons, [[Beastmen]], and later [[Skaven]].

Or perhaps you're a [[fluff|fluffy]] neckbeard who finds the idea of Chaos Gods working together despicable and hates the fact that gods need to be combined to have a slight chance of winning.

Also, you find psychic powers to be weak shit, and will not miss it at all.  Instead, you want [[Heterosexual Sex in the Missionary Position|honorable melee combat between powerful warriors]]. Furthermore you like an army that compares to the speed of White Scars and Ravenwing then put them to shame in melee combat! Plus you get to use the most overused phrase in 40k: <div style="text-align:center;font-size:1.10em;font-weight:bold;font-family:serif;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em"><span style='color:red;font-size:100%'> BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES! BUTTER FOR THE POPKHORNE! SALSA FOR THE KHORNECHIPS!! CABBAGE FOR THE KHORNEBEEF!!'''</span></div>
No? Ok, I'll stop now...


Who this ISN'T for, sadly, is anyone looking for an actually fixed [[Chaos Space Marines]] or [[Daemons]] codex.  A lot of the same issues with those books still exist, and it opens up its own bevy of issues. The most glaring issue is that obviously everything has Mark of Khorne or Daemon of Khorne...but has to pay for it? If we are a Khorne only army....why couldn't MoK either be free or discounted? It's a stupidly high tax on all our units.

HOWEVER, while not top tier, it is surprisingly strong for a chaos space marine melee based army. Being able to take Heldrakes and Soulgrinders in the same detachment has its uses, and the Gorepack is a decent formation. Daemonkin were pretty much a rush-job army in 7th that existed to hock "NEW AND IMPROVED" Bloodthirsters that were also being released for WHFB End Times, and it shows, especially in the FAQ. Caveat emptor.
