I stop before 200 points, for me I'd say MoT, BoT, Daemonic Gaze. Gives you 4 bs 5 ap >3 shots a round. Hang at long range and you can usually avoid the sort of dakka shots that would make you need Iron Hide.

I think 5E is going to make alot of people think long and hard about long range firepower as a necessity, so I think it's quite possible in a years time having 10+ lighter long ranged weapons in an army and 8+ heavy anti-tank weapons will be alot more common than it is now. "

I totally agree, the advent of Orks will make heavy bolters and the equivalents vastly more popular. My contention is that the Daemon list will have multiple far more attractive targets for such shooting than distant Daemon Princes. The Heavy Bolters and equivalents will, I believe, be employed shooting down rushing assaulters or troops choices, rather than the comparatively sturdy DP's which aren't threatening to charge.
