  1. -Thematically, Bloodthirsters should have 1 more Weapon Skill than a Keeper of Secrets (WS9) so I think you should bump them up that little bit.
    -Daemon Princes are now Monstrous Infantry, a change I support but I think they should have 5 wounds, boosting the points cost by 20-25 points. 5 Wounds puts them at a number of wounds equivalent to other Monstrous Infantry Lords like Ogre Tyrants and Doombulls.

    1. -A small thing but since the protection of a Soul Grinder and Juggernaut comes from armor plates, perhaps they should count as being equipped with Heavy Armor and Light Armor respectively.

    2. Ya agree since in the original bloodthirsters had ws 10 and keeper of secreat ws 9 but I10. So i think nurffing them was unesecery and a bit low bowling them especially when lore state one is an absolute master of close combat and the second is absolute pinochle of agility.
