im just starting fantasy after a few years of 40k and have played a few games to get the jist of things so now im wondering how to use my daemons

models wise i have: 30 bloodletters, 10 daemonettes, 5 pink horrors, 3 screamers, 10 flesh hounds, 3 flamers, bloodthirster, skulltaker and the masque.

im wondering about squad sizes and gifts to give them as well as any suggestions on expanding the army

already planning on getting 5 more pink horrors to make the squad legal btw

thanks for any and all advice guys=]

run blood letters in 16 with a herald//skulltaker on a juggernaut. Give them the charge bonus banner and they are amazing. Horrors sizes of 10 are great. Slaanesh demons suffer in their str 3 attacks.

the daemonettes with siren standard sounds great for dealing with anything that can stand and shoot so i like to use them:]

are screamers worth it os should i double up on flamers?

Demons need double flamers for most list. Dont listen to people saying dont take them. One of the few ways to deal with march blockers, flying units and war machines most the time. Screamers are fantastic once you know how to use them. I have destroyed blood knight units or more with the 2 units i run, but they are very fragile.

Ghostmaker, you've actually got a pretty decent army already, though if you're a WAAC player than you will of course want less core and more hounds / flamers ...

Anyway, a 2000 pointer you can run as soon as you nab those 5 horrors:

L: Bloodthirster - firestorm blade, armor of khorne, immortal fury, spellbreaker = 540
H: Skulltaker = 150
H: The Masque = 90

C: 15 Bloodletters - endless war, full command = 235
C: 15 Bloodletters - endless war, full command = 235
C: 10 Demonettes = ecstasy, full command = 175
C: 10 Horrors = 120

S: 5 Flesh Hounds = 175
S: 5 Flesh Hounds = 175

R: 3 Flamers = 105

Yes, the demonic core are so-so without heralds, but with the thirster + 2x hounds you've got a LOT of power moving up very quickly, pretty much capable of gutting whatever. Flamers do their ultra-useful thing, but without entering into territory (which IMO is so very easy to do) ...

My main point is that you could be rocking out with a mid-level demon army (so a high-level fantasy army) ASAP and learning the ropes, then maximizing as you see fit.
