Right now iv just started collecting daemons...yea yea theyre broken blah blah i dont want all the hate to start in this thread about how much people hate them i want help on fighting fire with fire so to say lol

theres a guy at my local store who has a 2000pt pure khorne list of death
im not totally sure on what he had but it was roughly
bloodthirster
skultaker
herald on juggernaut bsb sundering
15 bloodletters
15 bloodletters
15 bloodletters
5 flesh hounds
3 juggernauts

now i hav no idea what to do against this much magic resistance and hardcore cc capability
im just about to start building my tzeentch/slaanesh army
now i was wondering if using the mind rape army or the flying circus build would work better
anyone who has experience playing either of these builds, if you cud let me know how they would probably work out

i was gona build my army to something like
kairos
herald tzeentch disc mos(death) flames of tzeentch bsb icon of despair
herald tzeentch fly pv
masque of slaanesh
10 horrors
10 horrors
10 horrors
4 screamers
4 screamers
6 flamers
= 1975
mayb havin seekers/more flamers/less screamers/KOS instead

KOS lvl4, temptator, allure of slaanesh, torment blade, close by we have baner of great despair and the masque, this was a possibility instead of kairos. so basically if i inflict one wound its gona be 3!!ld tests to attack me back at roughly ld 4-6

yea i know totally broken list but i want to beat him and were very competative we dont really care how hard we make our armies or what we 'shouldnt' include like flamers etc etc

so any help on mayb changing bits of my list and tactics i cud mayb use would be great

regards
Gorrfang

If you are going for a more magic list without a KoS, you might want to change the BSB to hellfire standard since their magic resistance won't help against that. The standard of sundering he uses also hurts your magic really good (horror need 6's to get flickering fire off, assumeing he pichs tzeentch magic).

So, maybe taking out the masque and putting in a regular HoS with a decent number of daemonettes. By the time the bloodletters get into charge range, the flamers/screamers will have probly taken out enough guys to have the daemonettes wipe them out. The ASF and the number of attacks they will dish out would most likely be enough to kill the front rank and win combat (one trick I use is a HoT and give him lore of heavens, use portent of phar on the netts and you have a really good chance at taking out low toughness troops).

Karios should have the firepower to put down a bloodthirster and juggernauts.

Hope this helps. Let us know how the battle goes too!

thanks for the good input there mate, that banner of sundering really puts a spanner in the works but by taking mayb death with my HoT i can soul steal him in 2 turns hopefully but also thats where the thought of having the Kipper instead of kairos so i have lore of slaanesh, HoT with tzeentch, HoT with 1 rulebook lore, and horrors with tzeentch so he has to pick which hes gona deny casting to cos thats 3 different lores,
i was aslo thinking mayb seekers to take out bloodletters too because 5 wide im getting 15 attacks off, obviously after whittling them with magic first and probably just mopping up
and i wont be playing him again for a while with this army im still buying and painting up my models but iv been racking my brain trying to decide what to buy cos hes gona be the one this army is built for really lol

keep the input coming guys
