I have 14 points left over. I'm not married to anything yet, and I'm still building this army as an extension of my 1500-2000 pt regular army. Since things don't have to be painted for the 'Ard Boyz, its easier for me to acquire models to make necessary changes. I would like to try to stick to the magic number though and with a fully slaanesh theme. Any input?

I dont think the princes will last with them being the only big targets to shoot lascannons at... at 2500 i think they will die pretty quick.

I would think about putting your lashes on Lords.

Make one sonic marine squad 18 strong (keeping with numbers) Less kill points and more of an anchor unit.

I like the termie squads.

Drop an oblit from each squad and add another full unit of sonic marines! I like two small squads and one big one. What 3 oblits can do, 2 can do just as well. 3 plasma cannon shots are pretty tasty, but scoring units surviving until endgame are more important.

Just my .02

In regard to the Plasma Cannons, I've found that with the new blast scattering rule three Plasma Cannons almost guarantees that at least one blast will be on target (and who doesn't love AP 2 blast weapons with lashes?)

no lesser deamons
ever
period

Lesser Daemons suck. Replace them by another NM squad.
And the 2nd poster is right about DPs. They die too quickly. I'd take at least one Sorcerer.

Hmmm.

This is what I'd do. Combi-plas is cute, but not necessary. DP's are not survivable at 2500 points.

Lash into close combat with Khorne LC terminators is where it's at IMO.

The NM will cut down hordes, and the oblits of course obliterate anything.

Total Roster Cost: 2500

I find lesser daemons are great. They're not killy, but having the invulnerable save for whenever you can't get a cover save is always nice - also nice to spread in front of important units to give THEM a cover save, while the daemons sit with their 5+. If you're far enough away, they won't have the anti-infantry weapons to clear out the daemons with, and anything that is in range would have had low enough AP to really mangle a screen. Cheaper, too.

However, their biggest strength is that they're cheap scoring units, a great way to get an extra 2 or 3 when you don't have many. You've got 4 already as-is, so I'd say go ahead, drop the daemons, combine those points and get a 3rd sonic blaster squad, for a total of 5 scoring units.

Stelek, have you used the 6-man noisemarine squad with 1 bolter in 5th edition yet?

Most frustrating thing ever. All times I've had a squad with 1 odd man out, that sonofa____ has been the last man standing every time, unless I managed to land a low-AP hit on him when I wasn't in cover.

Watching them stay alive while the rest of the specialists around them die is maddening.

Yeah I have.

It's quite funny how he always lives, isn't it?

lol

Khorne Termies in an EC list? Blasphemy! So, I'm assuming you and blklotus are saying that the sorcerers should go in the squads with the termies?

They can go anywhere you like.

Slaanesh termies aren't very good. Khorne Termies do alot of damage with LC, even when there are only 2 left.

But they are KHORNE! The gods will surely strike me down.

Right until the point you win.

Remember, Chaos = Win.

Spawn = Lose.

What are you?

This all depends on what they're fighting against. Slaanesh LC termies beat Khorne LC termies head-to-head; the extra point of initiative really helps out against other elite well-armoured troops. I've run 4* LC Champions + 1 CF/HF champ in a land raider with a lot of success. Especially with a lash nearby to ensure that the combats are skewed in my favour.

So you mean Black templars and Slaanesh Termies?

Or are there other I5 termies with LC options I'm not aware of? lol

Wow, I had the same 5 termie, 2x LC CF/HF in a landraider idea. Has it really worked out well?

It did years ago, before raiders were nerfed.

The circle is now complete.

lol
