Hi,

So next tourney is a dual list event. Bring two lists and chose one at the beginning of the mission. kinda like how a warmachine steamroller event goes. I'm bringing my Daemons and I'm going to field a Fatecrusher and a Skarneesh list. Skarneesh is mostly for going against horde type lists and Fateweaver is for everyone else. I'm considering Skarneesh as anti-GK not sure though.

Fatecrusher

HQ
Fatey(Big bird of win)
Bloodthister - Unholy might, blessing of the blood god(rerollable 2++ yes please)

ELITE
2 x 4 Crushers full wound cheese
*********** 6 Fiends (not sure if i should take these or the seekers)
*********** 3 Flamers (if i don't field the Fiends)

FAST
********** 10 Seekers Transfixing gaze (Its between these and the Fiends)

TROOP
2 x 5 PlagueBearers
*********** Either one more 5 man PlagueBearer unit or 1 5 man horror unit with bolt and changeling

HEAVY
2 x MoT DP w/ We are legion, Bolt, Gaze

So questions about this list are should i field:
- 6 fiends over 3 Flamers plus 10 seekers or vice versa
- should i field 5 PBs over 5 Horrors with bolt,changeling and fewer seekers or fiends or vice versa



Skarneesh
-Skarbrand
-2 x Herald of tzeench chariots w/ We are Legion, master of sorcery,bolt, gaze
-3 x 6 Fiends w/might
*********2 x 14 seekers w/transfixing gaze and icon
*********3 x 5 Plaguebearers
*********or 2x5 horrors w/bolt and 1 x 10 horrors w/changeling(if i take the horrors i have to drop the seekers to 10 each and no icons)

So here its either:
-2 units of14 seekers plus icons and PBs
0r 2 units of 10 seekers no icon and horrors

Looking for good advice. Please and Thank you.

First list: I would go with the fiends. I have run flamers before and they are a suicide unit which I really don't like and they never seem to make up their points.

I would also go with the horrors over the PB's they will give you a midrange troop choice that will actually have some offensive power.

Second List: I would go with the 2 units of 10 seekers plus the horrors.

I'm also leaning away from the flamers.
Problem is if I go Fiends I'll have to loose the seekers as well. If I also go horrors I'll also have to drop the Fiend unit to 5.

Biggest concern here is wether 10 seekers is gonna put enough of a dent in the squads they assault, so that when he swings back with rerolls it isnt that painful. Basically anything that gets to swing back is gonna mean a dead seeker. Although with the added shooting this may not be such a big problem. Plus I'll have more bolts to pop transports.

Ahhh hell knew i forgot to add something to the Skarneesh list.

Namely 5 screamers to the fast attack slot. Yeah those are gonna be important to opening tanks. Ummmmm ooops.

any other thoughts on these lists

correct me if i'm wrong guys, but aren't fiends typically one of our anti-mech, rather than anti-infantry options?

yes this is true in a fatecrusher list. but with their high volume of attacks plus rerolls they can do antiinfantry as well
