Hello all I have revised my list and play tested against my main opponents Blood Angels which it did well against. I was looking for some further advice for taking on other armies.

3 Fiends of Slaanesh - Unholy Might - 100
3 Flamers of Tzeentch - 105

A unit each of Fiends, Flamers, and Crushers offers variety for you, but it also offers you opponent an easier time with target priority. I'd suggest figuring out which of them you like best, and which you like least, and replacing the one you like least with an extra squad of the one you like best.

As with most Daemon lists, it seems to me that this one is light on anti-tank, especially for the 1000 and 1700 point lists. You're not going to have a problem against somebody with a couple of rhinos, but against rhino spam (your opponent can get more rhinos than you can deal with for the price of your GUO) or even just a couple of LRs, or mechdar or mech Tau... you might want another DP, or a tzeentch chariot with bolt, to help. Might still not be enough, but half a solution to the problem is better than a quarter of a solution to the problem.

Nice list! I focussed mainly on the 1700p list, because thats the level I play at mostly. Funny to see that your selection for a significant part matches the list Im playing with now:

Different:
Fateweaver
HoTzeentch, Chariot, Bolt, MoS
Blue Scribes
9 Horrors, Changeling, Bolt

Same:
5 Plaguebearers
5 Plaguebearers
3 Flamers
6 Fiends, UM
4 Bloodcrushers, all goodies
2 Daemon Prince, MoT, Bolt, Gaze
total: 1696p

I like your choices, obviously, I have only one remark. I'd drop the Bloodletters in favour of 2 more Crushers and 3 more Fiends. Both those selections start to shine with a bit more weight I think. Especially 3 Fiends might well be a bit too fragile to ensure they can complete their task when they reach the opposing ranks.

I'd keep all three flavours (Flamers, Fiends and Crushers). It adds flexibility to the list. If you want to loose an eliteschoice however - as DaveL suggestes - Id drop the Flamers first in favour of more Fiends.
