Here is my first attempt at a 2000 points daemons army:
Lord:
Kairos 625
Heroes:
2 X tzeentch herald with master of sorcery (Haven) = 280
Core:
15 blood letters w/music + standard =198
15 daem. w/music + standard = 198
Another 15 of either Daem. or Bloodletters = 198 AND 5 furies =50(248) OR 10 daem + 10 Bloodletters = 240<--- any suggestions?
Rare:
6 flamers w/pyro = 225
6 flamers w/pyro = 225
total ~1999 or little lower depending on troop choice from above...
The points increased to 2250... any suggestions for what to take with extra 250?

Your biggest problem is if your heralds hit something more than they can easily chew up - hard cav or inf, etc - I'm thinking Grail Knights, Chosen, Blood Knights, etc - it will mean that you will have enemy units hitting the flanks of your core inf, and get crushed. It might be better to have maybe 4 or 5 blocks of inf if you are going to be tied down to infantry, rather than have 3 with characters holding up the flanks. Just a thought.

I could take out the screamers (names seekers by accident) or the furies and field a 10 men squad, other than that i dont know where to cut....

Here is the 2250 army:
Lord:
Kairos 625
Heroes:
2 X tzeentch herald with master of sorcery and wings = 320
Herald of nurgle w/slime and noxious vapours = 150
Core:
15 blood letters w/music + standard =198
15 daem. w/music + standard = 198
19 plaguebearers w/herald as 20th. standard,musician, seeping decay icon 271
5 furies
OR
20 daemonettes, 15 bloodletters and 15 daemonettes/bloodletters and 10 furies and 3 screamers - no herald nurgle and no special banners.
Rare:
6 flamers w/pyro = 225
6 flamers w/pyro = 225
~2250
OR A BIT DIFFERENT-FASTER AND SMALLER UNITS:
Lord:
Kairos 625
Heroes:
2 X tzeentch herald with master of sorcery and wings = 320
Core:
10 blood letters w/music + standard =138
10 daem. w/music + standard = 138
10 daem w/ standard = 133
5 furies
5 furies
3 screamers
3 screamers
5 flesh hounds
Rare:
6 flamers = 210
6 flamers = 210
~2249
The first looks the same except I added herald with nurgle with slime (anti flanking since i got 3 troop choices) and noxious vapours(anti attack last). He is stuck with the 19 plaguebearers with icon of seeping decay - chose it over eternal since poison is harder to get and wounding always helpful especially with 1 attack.) This nurgle unit will be very tough to kill especially the Herald and 2 other plaguebearers will always go first in the front. Is the Herald of nurgle a right way of using the points or I should use its points for another troop choice or get more furies/screamers?
The 2nd set is for smaller units mostly speedy - pelt them with shooting, magic and suprise flank attacks -your thoughts?
your thoughts?
thanks
