Was working on a possible deamon army list to try them out in 40k since i have al lot of the models from playing them in fantasy. So far what i came up with is as follows

HQ
Skulltaker
Tzeentch herald

TROOPS
10 Daemonettes
10 Bloodletters
8 Horrors with bolt and icon
9 plaguebeaers with icon

ELITE
3 Flamers
3 Flamers
3 Fiends

Heavy SUpport
Soul Grinder with phlegm
Deamon prince of khorne with wings and iron skin

Though was to lead with the soul grinder, both flamers, the horrors with the herald and the plague bearers to soften up the enemy before the other units came in to join in HTH.
So far im aroung 1436 points so im not sure what to add tot get to 1500. Any thought or ideas would be apperciated.

Skulltaker on a juggernaught is way better than skulltaker on foot!

Also what are you giving the Tzeentch Herald? You are probably better off putting him on a chariot or using him as the blue scribes.

Since you are using horror's always take the changeling for 5 pts.

I realize you are just reusing models but 3 fiends are going to get eaten pretty quickly as will your single grinder. Once you go over the 1500pt mark I would max out the fiends and add another grinder.

It might help if we knew what other models you had available.

Drop the daemon prince for another soul grinder and put the skulltaker on either a juggernaut or chariot. Also, you should either put the tzeench herald on a disc if tzeench of chariot of tzeench. It makes the unit FAR better.

give skulltaker a chariot, extra stats from it are nice.
drop the daemonettes and bolster the 3 other units.
drop out 4 flamers, take 1 unit of 5, then add in 3 bloodcrushers.

herald needs to be tooled up, or take scribes instead.

well as far as models go i got 5000 points of fantasy deamons so anything really is up for grabs. Only got the one soulgrinder though.
Question if you put skulltaker or other charecter on a disc/juggernaut doesnt it change there type and therefore they can no longer join units?

Heralds on chariots are a bargain, so get more of them and fewer daemonettes.

drop the daemonettes and horrors and possibly fiends. also even in 1000pts a soulgrinder is not very survivable either make it two or drop for another daemon prince

keep horrors they are useful, and put the changeling in the squad. Perhaps the fiends are better switched with blood crushers. You can stick a much more useful skulltaker on Juggernaut in with the bloodcrushers. Daemonets are a waste of points IMO, maybe replace them with more bloodletters or horrors.
