Skarbrand 300

Fateweaver 333

5 fiends, unholy might 160

5 fiends 150

4 bloodcrushers, instrument 165

5 plaguebearers 75

Daemon prince, mark of slaneesh, pavane 120

Daemon prince, mark of slaneesh, pavane 120

= 1498

Dunno, suppose this could work. Princes pavane stuff for the fiends and crushers to eat. Fateweavers keeps stuff alive. Skarbrand gives rerolls. Will have to playtest pavane more to see whether it is reliable enough.

looks just like my list haha. However my Dps have wings and its at 1850pts.

I would drop skarband and take a bloodthirster, and try to give your Daemon princes wings with the extra points. The way your list is now everything BUT fatweaver moves 6. VERY slow army. (fiends have feet and 12 inch assault though).

But wings on the Dps and a winged thirster will help the list out a lot.

its a pretty mean list.

Skarbrand is there to give everything rerolls, which is mean, and he also has fleet so he isnt *that* slow. Plus with pavane moving units towards me and out of cover (main reason why I took it) basically gives the crushers and princes fleet too, except instead of me running theyre running towards me

Skarbrand seems like a good idea...until the first time you face an Ork Horde.

The basic 'thirster would be a better choice - he's also one of the few tools available that can take on AV 14 targets, something you'll currently have significant problems catching & killing.

I'd also vote for dropping Skarbrand. I don't feel like you're getting the most out of him by not using a lot of units with high init. With no wings, he can't keep up with the fiends and they're what will benefit the most from him.

Also, with this many rerolls you might as well be playing Eldar .
