hi guys. I've been wanting to get back into daemons for a while but sadly haven’t really been at the stage where I can build an effective list. however, after much reading on tactics for a mono nesh list I think I've come up with a fluffy yet competitive list which hopefully should start winning more games

here's my list so far. I plan on adding more as soon as money and time become available
first wave

second wave

HQ:

keeper of secrets anagoth 235
s. musk
daemonic strength

herald (still thinking of a name ) 135
chariot
musk
icon

elites:

6 fiends 180

6 fiends 180

troops:

12 dameonettes 168

12 daemonettes 168

fast attack:

10 seekers 170

heavy:

daemon prince bellathrom 140
iron hide
M.O.S
musk

daemon princess heshore 140
iron hide
MOS
musk

the plan? I have my fiends, herald and seekers deploy about 18" behind cover away from the enemy allowing them to run out and start killing (19" charge min 24" max) on my next turn without suffering too many shots. my keeper being a little slower (min charge 13" max 18") stays closer to the enemy but being T6 she can take a few more shots than normal. my herald will be used to deploy my DPs and nettes safely with no mishaps

all of the musk (hit and run) is for allowing my KOS, DPs and herald to reach far back troops quickly. simply run into a hardish enemy unit, kick them a little then in their combat move 3D6 (about 10") towards the target then move 6" in my movement phase, run about 3-4" then charge 6"/12" into combat. the units that I have hit will be easy prey for my nettes and wont bother them too much shooting wise. the fiends take out any problematic units that I might come across such as dreadnaughts, wraith lords ect.

the DP's will mostly go after tanks or anything else that might need a MC's touch.

So that’s my army, what do you guys think? all C&C welcome so long as it doesn’t go along the lines of "add a blood thrister and 6 units of 8 bloodletters"

I like the list

I play undivided at the moment - but am building towards mono slaanesh!

Personally, with the lists i've written, they've used maxed out slaaneshi chariots and maxed out DP's w pavane and bigger units of nettes.
So everything either has fleet or mini lash!
Of course maxed out fiends is a must!

I cant really critique it as i havent played my slaaneshi list as of yet - am very interested in seeing how this works tho!

Fair warning to you that you don't necessarily get to chose who comes into play at that time. You might have it where your 2nd Wave comes in on turn 2 and your 1st wave comes in on turn 4. Its a little bit unpredictable

But other than that your army list looks solid

thanks guys ^^

Murray145: yeah, thats the biggest problem I faced when playing my old lists. I would put too many eggs in one basket and end up rolling a 1 or a 2 then have a KOS ponder in turn 5 and wander to herself why everythings dead lol

big baby jesus: yeah their pretty tasty, when I get more monyes I'll be getting another masque, a box of seekers and 2 helf chariots seeing as slaanesh chariots are broken as hell lol I plan on giving the DPs pavane later to make up for their lack of fleet.

I plan on taking the units of nettes up to 18 (keeping with the fluff) so they can hold objs better or kill stuff quicker. I would take more now but that means less fiends, seekers or DPs

I'll post the results of my next game tomorrow ^^
