I'm up against of a thousand army with oblits, nid army with hive tyrant and zoanthrope and a necron army.
I have more troops, soul grinders, greater daemons, daemon princes etc - pretty much everything EXCEPT fiends - yes i know, i'm working on it!!

The opposing lists contain:

- CSM with at least Thousand Sons and Obliterators.
- Tyranid with Hive Tyrant and Zoantropes.
- Necron

So you'll be facing at least high toughness units with good saves. That makes most of your selections valid I'd say.

At 750 points you wont be able to out-shoot your opponent in the least, so I'd go for purely assault-based. That means I'd go for the Nurgle Prince. I do think I'd change some stuff though. I'd drop the Flamers (your opponents will have decent shooting and they are too fragile to risk in 750 points). I'd buff the Prince, he needs Iron Hide at least. I'd also move around some stuff. Taking a third Crusher with Fury is much cheeper than the Herald and be able to do comparable damage. You would free up points for a Great Unclean One for instance, which can take a lot of enemy fire and still be threatening. He will also draw fire away from the rest of your list.

Something like this?

160 GUO

135 3 Bloodcrushers with Instrument and Fury of Khorne

160 10 Bloodletters
140 10 Daemonettes

155 Daemon Prince, MoN, Iron Hide, Noxious Touch, CoF

750

Hope you do well in the Tournament. Write us a report :-)

Thanks for the response!
Really appreciate the input!

I see what you mean with the GUO - i really like this guy, for 160 points, what a bargain really..

Hmmm.. I like the list, however what would you think about dropping the flamers - adding another squad of three blood crushers..?

I was hoping i could use the daemonettes as a meat shield then bloodcrushers would assault = blood for the blood god..?

Do you think that the value of having a firesink in the guo would be of more value of another squad of bloodcrushers?
- The downside to this obviously, is that i couldnt maximise my DP's wargear..

So then you'd have

105 Herald of Khorne, Juggernaut

85 2 Bloodcrushers with Instrument
120 3 Bloodcrushers

160 10 Bloodletters
140 10 Daemonettes

140 Daemon Prince, MoT, Bolt

750

Looks great as well. You still lack mobility, which is the biggest pain in all of these lists. But in 750 points you do bring quite a lot of resillience... As far as using the Daemonettes as screens. Flesh Hounds are even better in that aspect IMO. You could also try this:

105 Herald of Khorne, Juggernaut

80 2 Bloodcrushers
120 3 Bloodcrushers (both undiversified)

84 6 Daemonettes
84 6 Daemonettes

120 8 Flesh Hounds of Khorne

155 Daemon Prince, MoN, Iron Hide, Noxious Touch, CoF

748

Adds mobility and a nice screen/tie-up unit that can crack open Rhino's at a distance...

All these lists have plenty validity. It's up to you really... :-)
