yesterday evening i saw a match with the list i posted below and a gladius marine and for marines was a very hard time so npw i m interested in it

murderhorde
K herald less reward juggernaut
8x5 hounds

burning skyhost
Tz herald disc 1°level
9x3 screamers

CAD
Kairos
2x3 nurglins
Obj corruption+ob secure troops (nurglings) look awesome, warp storm manipulation with kairos reroll and +1/-1 from incursion mean at least 50% of time you get +1 Inv save for all your army, hounds plus fast screamers control all the board, killing a veichle after another, i liked what i saw

There's either a mistake in the list or otherwise, it is illegal. It's missing an Auxiliary choice (i.e. furies) in its Core (Murderhorde).

Otherwise, it is a very good list as long as you don't go up against Superfriend Thunderwolves.

Is not the burning skyhost the auxiliary choice?

I make similar mistakes often.

Right now I'm looking at building a warpflame list for a tourney on May 7th-8th and I can't decide between a renegade knight or a forgefiend host. One advantage the forgefiend host has is that I'm not paying a 35 point tax.

My bad, i thought it was either 12 or 6, but you could still easily keep 1 model within 6 of a unit with shrouded

Daemons get shrouded easier than most spells, just take be'lakor or hope you roll the spell

Shrouded is models within 6", not units.

As for the skyhost, it's total hotsauce. This gets around all of the warp spiders you're seeing nowadays, since the slash attacks don't trigger their jump. Super mobile, super MSU. Awesome formation.

True, but only 1 model in a unit needs the Shrouded special rule to give the whole unit the bonus to cover saves.

yes it is, to see if play with muderhorde or maybe a Tz Cad , i like the idea of murderhorde, fast as well, hit hard and great board control.
