Well what would i use my DP models for if everyone thinks the unit is junk?

Noxious touch on the Nurgle daemon prince lets him deal with monstrous creatures / wraithlords more effectively.

It also gives him a re-roll on failed wound rolls against weaker enemies. I know I have those moments when I just need 2's to wound and I drop a bunch of 1's.

With all the giant tyranid critters running around lately, I'd take noxious touch over unholy might.


Cloud of flies belongs on every Nurgle DP. It lets you take advantage of your high initiative when you charge enemies in cover, and it takes those bonus charge attacks away from anyone that wants to charge you.

Ayone else have anything to say about the list as a whole?

How about this?

2000!

You've got too many elites.

Master of Sorc isn't useful on the Tz DP, since he already gets to shoot 2 weapons as a MC.

I've been rethinking legion on my chariots recently. It's nice when it comes into play, but often it's not terribly useful. Soul devourer instead may be the way to go; if the worst happens and he gets stuck in CC (or if he manages to tarpit something more valuable), he could actually have a chance of surviving and maybe even winning via ID...

ok a few thing 2 Daemon Princes??? Ritsy but might but worth it second of all with poisoned weapons if ur strength is higher then ur opponents toughness you get re-rolls to wound OMG!!!
2 groups of fiends are okay but try to boost your troops choice ur going to need them because of the way that daemons arrive on the battlefield and yes you will need at least one chaos icon in each squad and you hav too many elites and 3 heralds in a 2000 point game not a very good idea use these points to bulk out troop choices cause if they die ur in a load of trouble

not really much else i can say hope this helps!

I have played daemons competivaly for a while now and I have this to say. first I have had no luck with any of the hearalds execpt tallyman that ride on charots. I always take a MC for hq and have never regretted it. I have had great luck with daemon zilla lists eather 3 nurgle DPs with a cheep GUO with COF. and Epidemus or I go with the bloodthrister+ fateweaver combo that is very hard to deal with. I find that the key to winning with daemons is with the exeption of screamers and flamers and bloodcrushers .every thing has to be big big squad sizes big monsters. with my troops unless I am runing epidemus with a small game 1500 or less I run my troops in squads over 12-16. That makes keeping icons safe easyer and makes my lists have few killpoints as well. Now I have no experence with blue scribes or the mask or anything slanash I just stay away from it.

WHat is this fateweave/Thiurster stuff? i hear it alot. explain?

Plus 110 points for a 5 wound jetbike model with some low AP shooting attacks? plus you can possibly take 4 heralds! 333 points for fateweaver and 250 for a thirster is well over 500 points for 2 units and you all tell me im sinking my points with heralds?!
