I forget about bikes often, sense I play Grey knights and never get bikes. I only recently found out their usfullness when I was making the Khorne list. But if I put in bikes I lose some drop pods because you can only have 3 fast attack in a cad right?

if you put an IC on a bike those bikes become troops though!

Independent Character on a bike makes bikes count as troops

I'm curious where it says that, I have a broken version of the codex on pdf so I'm just trying to find it. Do you think it would be worth it to drop the dreadknight for a techmarine/captain/chapter master and a bike squad? If so which one would be better to take?
I'm leaning more towards the techmarine but the captain has more customizability and survivability with options of 2+ armor, 4+ invulnerable.
Techmarine (65pts+ 20 bike + 10 Combi-Grav) 95pts 3 Bikes (63pts + 30 2Grav-guns + 5 meltabombs + 10 Combi-Grav) 108pts Total 203/225pts
Captain (90pts+ 20 bike + 20 artificer armour) 130pts 3 Bikes (63pts + 30 2Grav-guns) 90pts Total 223/225pts

First off, save your self 10 point and upgrade those grav pistols to combi-gravs. You'll get +6" range and 4 more shots out of that unit. Granted those combi's only fire once, but you can really maul a unit with that many shots.

Grav guns only shoot 3 shots and you only save 5 point

General question I wanted to ask, in Khorne daeomonkin when taking a demon prince which artifact weapon do you think would be better on him other than the bloodthirster summoning axe. This is mostly because this axe is ap2 strike at initiative that should be put on like a herald or lord.
I'm torn between the other two weapons for him to take. Goredrinker that is a +1 str ap2 scaling unwieldy weapon. Every time he deals an unsaved wound it gets better, 1-2 +1 str, 3-4 gains rampage, 5-7 double str, 8 gain instant death. Next is Blade of Endless Bloodshed which is an ap3 weapon that at the end of the assault phase when the bearer inflicts one or more casualties it generates and additional bloodtide point.
I'm leaning more towards the blade because those extra points points can lead to more summons and upgrades during the game as sooner. While the other one is tempting for the possibility for 5 attacks at strength 10 instant death at I8.
All together a demon prince with the Goredrinker and all the upgrades is only 20pts cheaper than the D-thirster. But I can't really see this weapon being used on anything else than a prince due to unwieldy. You could use the blade on a herald or lord but it loses survivability that a demon prince has. I'm just curious what yall think.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the armor for a daemon Prince. That eternal warrior is pretty awesome

Gore drinker sounds like a good option. Even before it's first wound caused, he'll be str.8 on the charge.! with rage he'll be a terror when he hits the enemy lines. I must say, you should probably invest in a cannon of khorne or two. It'll guarantee you smashing heads before anyone touches you.

Can a character take more than one artifact? The wording always throws me off when it comes to artifacts. I know I can't take the same on multiple times in khorne deamonkin but for example can he have the armor and sword?
Under Artifacts of Slaughter is says: Only one of each artifact may be taken per army. A model may take one of the following: and lists the armor, the helm and another piece of wargear. Then says A model may instead replace one weapon with one of the following. So I was thinking its allowing you to take one of either, so you can get a daemon prince with eternal warrior, FnP and Gore drinker if you wanted.
