This could be taken out by shooting heavy armies fast enough, but has the potential to out put about an average of 25-35 Str of user shots, higher durability than heralds. Not going to run this one atm but sounds like it could compete

Fast Attack:

Heavy:



3 Lvl3 Daemon Princes of Slaanesh with greater reward

So that's about 20 warp dice turn 1, with 2d6 12" Str of user shots. Against flyer heavy armies will struggle a little, but pretty good anti mech? Furies only have leadership 2 but 20 with rending attacks (40 Str 4 In. 4) jump infantry and +3" to run move and fleet will hit hard against 1 unit before losing to instability if not used as back up for the MCs. On a train, bored so thought up in about 20 minutes. Any suggestions? This will probably be my "expansion" army to my CSM with daemons Fallen Angels

Hmmm...

Slaanesh Furies are about the best for precisely that reason; yes an instability check will mess them up, but with 40 rending attacks, if you lose combat badly you're Doing It Wrong (TM).

Giving the Princes Wings gives you an effectivel flak element and the ability to get them in range faster - combined with Hard To Hit, two princes with wings are probably more flexible than 3 without.

Level 3 is good. Mix and match telepathy and biomancy on the princes and focus on telepathy for the most part for the Keepers. Dominate, Terrify, Invisibility are all good powers, whilst Iron Arm is nasty (if you can roll it) for someone with a lash - it ups the strength of the user, tanking the lash from mid strength to a hail of antitank fire....

Yes, sorry meant to put in daemon flight and armor, rushed the end because I arrived at my stop. Idea is go for biomancy and telepathy with princes, telepathy with keeper of secrets. Main plan is to start everything on board hiding in cover since MC pass dangerous terrain checks iirc. I was really hoping a new codex was coming out, but since tau just dropped I'll have my fun with the old codexes. For numbers, I'm tempted to drop a keeper for about 20-35 more furies. Not suffering instability from shooting is stupid but I'll take what I can get with all these new armies.

Edit: okay 1 keeper is all I need these just got better unholy Orc Squigglths batman....

I like it. I love conversions, tin foil whips are REALLY easy to make, and all I need to grab are 5 boxes of daemonettes, 1 more Prince, and a keeper of secrets. This will definitely be my summer project if a new chaos book doesn't drop.

Maybe squeeze a herald of slaanesh in with the furies?

Okay last change before passing out.

Keeper of Secrets Lvl 3 Greater Reward

Herald of Slaanesh Lvl 2 on Steed with exalted locus of beguilement(reroll all failed to hit rolls in unit, forced challenge and select model). Omg...I really should sit down and read entire book only been back in game for 2 months.

I'm definitely ordering the NSFW daemonette from 3rd edition for this army.

Looks fun to play. Only change I would suggest is to drop enough Horrors to get ML3 on the last 2 Princes. The warp charges will be more useful on them than the Horrors. If you drop each unit to 11 thats enough for the 2 ML and another Greater reward and youre overall WC pool is unchanged.

@astronomicon

I used quartermaster app to calculate it out just now. Dropped horrors down to 12 each. Everything checks out, the princes are Lvl 3 and it comes out to exactly 1846. Looks like this list is ready.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
One final major change. Dropped horrors down to 11, furies down to 19, dropped smaller fury squad for 10 seekers of Slaanesh with heart seeker (4 attacks) and rapturous standard -d3 to opponents WS. Standard could let me deep strike furies/ keeper of secrets deep strike or I can outflank them and have herald run up field with furies until they arrive

I wouldn't deep strike the furies. With 12 inch move, fleet, and Slaanesh running you can probably get a turn 2 charge.
