The entire list is very fast, cultists hang back and hold objectives or act as fodder if I roll on daemon summoning. Grimoire targets a maulerfiend most turns or a daemon prince if they come in range of ignore cover. Princes and lord go after heavy infantry, maulers go after vehicles being backed up by princes if needed, and drakes blow up infantry backed by lord if needed, daemonettes force massive amounts of saves on high wound models with big saves. Drakes also vector strike flyers supported by princes if needed.

Opinions?

seems like deep strikers might be a problem for your cultists. the rest of your force is going to be rapidly charging into the enemy lines, leaving 2 of your 3 OBS units out to dry.

I like it. I prefer belakor to the standard prince, but you do lose out on the grimoire then.

Mok on the spawn is a points waste. Consider t
Lasher tendrils on one mauler to help against knights. (Which are probably the biggest weakness of this list)

Pretty interesting list.

Please post a battle report if you can with it. Like to see how it plays. The only suggestion I would have is switch you CSM deamon prince for Be'lakor. And maybe drop the sigil and boon and switch the axe for the black mace. That way you have the grimoure and invisibility if you need it to make you more survivable.

Black mace on a lord seems like a waste to me. S4 ap4 is going to be pretty easy to negate.

Black mace is on the DP, thus making it AP2. Lord's got the AoBF

Lord rolled hatred on gift

Turn 1 Wolves
He starts off with just a 3 man cavalry squad and a wolf lord on the board tooled up, lords rocking a fist and shield and 2 pups.
He drops 2 out of his 3 pods, first in front of one of my maulers containing a sister squad with canoness, but it scatters back 10 inches puting them out of range.
The second containing an axe/shield dread near my maulers.
He moves his lord squad around the side.

I charge everything that's in position, the dread causes 2 wounds but my mauler shrugs em off, the mauler daemonforges and hits with all attacks and gets his 2 magmas, the dread gets unlucky and dies.

The cavalry finish up the daemonettes and the mauler splats another cavalry, the mauler lives onces more.

Turn 3 me
Last drake comes in and vector strikes the terminators, the other drake flys off the board to vector the terminators (nothing in range of flamer.) they kill 1 terminator leaving 2 left.
The other mauler moves in to charge into the combat.

The two princes shoot psychics at the terminators and kill the last 2.

Over all I got some lucky rolls but I think the list preformed well.
