So here's my first daemons list. This list is partially hampered by my lack of models but, if you guys suggest I'm open to buying a few models. Anyways here's the list.

Lord:
- Bloodthirster with greater gift (450)

Heroes:
- Herald of Khorne with locus of wrath (175)
- Herald of Tzeentch level 2 with disc (145)

Core:
- 27 Bloodletters with standard & musician, banner of swiftness (413)
- 24 Daemonettes full command (294)

Special:
- 5 Flesh hounds with ambushers (165)
- 6 Flamers (240)
- 3 Beasts of nurgle (180)
- 5 Seekers of slaanesh with standard & musician (120)

Rare:
- Soulgrinder with nurgle, daemonbone claw and phlegm bombardment (315)

Opinions greatly appreciated

I suggest splitting up the beasts into 3 individual beast units, you definitely need some misdirection units with so many small, vulnerable units.

I guess the seekers and the hound try and kill chaff and warmachines.

Flamers try and clear chaff?


Really most of your list is good at killing chaff and small units.

Daemons work around taking a big block or two and supporting it. Most people say plaguebearers are best at this with a Herald.

Ok thanks for the advice. Yes the flesh hounds and seekers were there to kill chaff. I had the Flamers for a bit of range and skirmishing ability. I feel as though I'm lacking a really hard hitting unit. What daemon units fit that role

Plague drones.

If you take Epi, Plaguebearers can do it too.

I did my list again because I don't have the money right now to purchase beasts of nurgle and Flamers or any other unit :( so here is what I made with the models I have and can borrow.

Lord:
- Bloodthirster with greater gift (450)

Heroes:
- Herald of Tzeentch level 2 with disc (145)
- Herald of Khorne with locus of wrath (175)
- Herald of Nurgle with locus of fecundity (135)

Core:
- 30 Bloodletters (musician and standard) with banner of swiftness (455)
- 30 Plaguebearers full command (420)

Special:
- 5 Flesh hounds with ambushers (165)
- 5 Seekers with standard (110)
- 3 Screamers (120)

Rare:
- Soulgrinder with nurgle, phlegm bombardment and daemonbone claw (315)

As soon as I get the money I'll buy some plague drones but this is all I can get my hands on right now.
