My army has 20 lesser demons, 2 squads of 10 and i find they are good for what i use them for, distracting the enemy and killing weak troops and other things.

I really like demons and wondering if i should go more lesser or would a greater one compliment the lesser and are they good?

I honestly would not field any more lesser demons or a greater demon. The 2 squads of 10 you have now are perfect. They can reinforce an area about to take on a heavy assault or they can drop onto objectives later in the game and try to hold them. Most people don't like them at all due to their bad statline, but a troop that can late game DS in and grab that objective you need to win is good IMO.

I think Lesser Summoned Daemons and Greater Summoned Daemons are two different kettles of fish. One is a handy unit for tying up shooters, powerfists, and generally providing a strategic advantage. The other is a big honking Daemon that is best at hitting people, which is good if you want a stop-gap in your ability to hit people.

If you're going to take a Summoned Great Daemon, I think you want to check whether you have lots of disposable Champions/Sorcerers who are going to be closing with the enemy, like 4+ Champions.

Remember, closing with the enemy doesn't just involve assaulting them, but also getting close where firepower can have its best effect.

What else is in your army, and what's your strategy for each of the missions in the book vs possible opponents?

10 bezerkers, 20 CSM's, 1 land raider, 1 rhino, 1 dread, 20 lesser demons, 9 thousand sons, 3 bikers, 1 sorceror

Can you gives us the actual layout of your list? Champs, pts. etc.

Phew, off by a country mile and forgot the 20 Chaos Space Marines entirely. Not my night.
