This is my first stroke at a daemon army. Im going to playtest them and see if it fits my gameplay.

The list is no way fluffy but I hope it is competitive.

Wave A: Deathstar wave.

Idea:

-I choose which wave to daemonic assault depending on army composition of the enemy. Against pure mechanized, I can deploy Wave B switching a DP with Kairos fateweaver instead.

-The screamers intimidate vehicles to move 6" or 12" due to fear of instahit melta bombs. This means vehicles will be firing less shots or none at all. Fiends are cavalry units, which means they can also rape vehicles ,TWC, MCs or bikes. Thanks to their massive number of attacks, rending, and high initiative - these guys will at least make sure i can shake or stun a significant amount of clumped up vehicles.

-Against everything else, I can daemonic assault with the death star wave. I did not gear the bloodcrushers for wound allocations because Kairos would be the one going to get shot anyway- and by then they will be in assault next turn.

Thoughts are appreciated.

Excellent list. The only thing I could suggest is dropping one of the Screamers for Gaze on the princes and to take Fury on the Crushers for additional woundcomplexity.

The only other thing is that Crushers are slow. You may well be better of by taking a second squad of Fiends over the second squad of Crushers.

Good luck with the list.

Thanks for the feedback. Ill be trying your suggestions and post results here. Ive been seeing bloodcrusher lists that sport 2 units of bloodcrushers, but i think 2 daemon princes are already alot to handle.
