Yea, MoK princes aren't great, but they aren't psykers either. Either you are building a Khorne list or you are not, psykers need not apply.

Just because a unit is better doesn't make it the right choice. There are far better units than berserkers at holding objectives, but we didn't use plague marines. If you want to use any unit in the codex, it is no longer Khornate build imo. Make any excuse you would like to validate the choice, but a psyker in a Khorne list is just wrong.

Kudos on the lists, but a psyker prince fits a Khorne list like a tutu fits Kharn.

Well, I think I said nice work, but pointed the issue out. I too have vast experience with Khorne and have done very well. If it is hybrid, fine; if it is Khhornate, no psykers. Have you actually read any 40k fluff?

If there are 27 khornate lists with a psyker, then there are 27 very unfluffy lists using an unnecessary unit.

I applaud your effort, but I have been playing longer than you are old. I read these posts to make sure that bad information is not being passed, not for pointers. If all you have heard is complaints, maybe tere is something to it! It is NOT khornate to use a psyker. If you want black legion, use anything in the codex. If you want Khorne, use the appropriate units.

Sorry to point out the obvious, I really didn't want to make you angry, but you need to understand that there are people who actually know what they are talking about other than yourself.

Probably a bit more harsh than was needed.
Again, good work, but learn to take constructive criticism!
Your effort was not in vain and is appreciated. It is just that there is a GLARING inconsistency that many long time players will not accept.

Keep up the good work - it is needed here.

Protip: Daemons are raw psychic energy given form and consciousness. Thus, a Daemon Prince with Warptime isn't against Khorne at all, because its a Daemon.
Protip: You are not a pro and your tips are wrong. Wrong. The first thing the word bearers did was kill all of the psykers. They do NOT tolerate psykers! Read some fluff instead of making your own up.

There is no such thing as a Daemon Psyker, because they are ALL "Psykers" simply by existing. So unless you think that all Daemons are unacceptable in all Khorne lists, get over it.
You are wrong again. You have to choose for your prince to be a psyker (an ability that is unavailable to khornate princes) and warp time is a psychic ability. Again, don't make things up because you want it to be so. You are just wrong.

Plus Warptime is a power that directly improves the ability to spill blood, so i think it fits perfectly in Khorne lists. It is something that a daemonic follower of Khorne would reasonably use so that he could better serve his master.
What does that have to do with the price of eggs in china? Lash of submission would greatly increase the skulls collected, but it is not a valid choice in a khornate army. Followers of khorne do NOT use psychic abilities!

Dude, read a book! You couldn't be more wrong. There is more to the game than building powernetlists. If you want a khorne army, you shouldn't use psykers, period.

I agree with Kharn, just found this, but ROT went to the trouble of making 27 lists, if you want to put the same effort and think you can do better, go for it. In the meantime im sure ROT's lists will be a must read for any Khorne players!

+rep for a great job ROT


EDIT: Why do you keep griping, if you want fluff, call warptime whatever the hell you like so its Khorne-y, DP's with MoK suck, wings or not. His idea is better, maybe you cant handle it? Either way, move on.
Jeez man, if you want to win at all costs, play black legion. I appreciate his effort, as I have said again and again. My point is that the young guys need to understand what khorne lists are. Competitive is one thing, and if you wish to stray from a pure Khornate list to be more competitive then do so, but the point is that psykers are not an option in a real khorne list. You guys keep building your own justifications which are diametrically opposed to the fluff.

The header was not competitive chaos builds, it was Khorne builds.

Rofl, Hey there, Inigo- The guy who is apprantly the expert on all things Khornate and fluffy, their actually called the world eaters. Please play again. And the points he made were based on fluff, so he is as wrong as you then. If you want to be a hypocrit go for it, but dont try and pretend your right while doing it.
Yes, THEY ARE called world eaters. I didnt realize I needed to rewrite the novels.

I will let you all-knowing teenagers have it as you like it. It is clear that you will not accept any answer that is not to your liking.

In closing, could you explain why princes with MoK cannot take psychic abilities? Just curious, as all khorne troops are not world eaters and vice versa.

I was merely pointing out that you called them the word bearers, dont try and cover your ass now.

And gladly, due to idiotic GW oversight, they decided princes should get fuck all options. The end. "Us all knowing teenagers" Those are khorne lists, call it something differant. If you want to be a prick, congrats you succeeded. So im guessing your "true khorne" lists are what? 6 squads of berzerkers? Because anything other wouldnt be a true khorne list.
Sorry for confusing word bearers with world eaters while I was drinking beer and watching football, it is unforgivable. I am not "covering" anything, I confused two very similar factions, and you point is utterly irrelevent. You argue like my wife - what the hell does my confusing the two have to do with khorne not using psykers?

The point still stands, NEITHER would ever use a psyker under any circumstance.

Daemon princes, lords, KHARN, greater daemons, dreadnoughts, lesser daemons, vanilla CSM with MoK, berserkers, chosen with MoK, defilers... ...there a a plethora of Khornate units out there, it is just that psykers are not one of them.
