Hey guys, so with the new rules dropping, I've taken it upon myself to rez my Daemons and try to compete here at a local level series of tournaments. The idea here is to have my troops infiltrate onto the objectives and wither the storm, while my 3 LoCs cause trouble/summon troops when needed.

Warlord will go on Tzeentch Warlord Traits(since they are almost all solid), and all greater daemons will be rolling all on Malefic Daemonology hoping for multiple Cursed Earths and using the other powers to summon as needed. Going for 2-3 2++ FMCs with re-rolls here. Str8 AP2 with the possibility of fleshbane/armourbane should be enough to take on a couple of Knights, as well.

Hmm this actually kinda works. Need a lot of nurglings. But hey, they don't need to sit on objectives to hold them, have walking shrouded, an fnp bubble .. Yeah not bad .

Looks interesting but I have a feeling if your up against anything with a flamer of a large blast your whole army will be wiped in 1 to 2 turns, nurglings are great for seizing objectives because no one wants to shoot them but they lack any amount of punch to them, I reccoment swapping 2 units minimum for some plaguebearers

just played this list vs SW and it went surprisingly well. Minus the stomp of the Knight taking out one of my FMCs the stacking of +1 to invuls is amazing, and the 12" FNP bubble works wonders on the Nurglings! I think I'll change it up a little by replacing the Everstave LoC with Kairos, and throwing the Grim on the herald, having 2 robust "combat" LoCs left.
