Hi guys,

So here is an idea of how to play daemons, maybe a little different. Thoughts? Could it work?

Bloodthirster @ 250pts.

5 Plaguebearers @ 75pts.

10 Flesh Hounds @ 150pts.

Daemon Prince @ 80pts.

Second Wave: Fiends, Bearers, Bearers, Bearers, Bearers, Hounds.

I dont see the princes doing a whole lot without any upgrades. Drop one and give the other two something. The rest of the army looks pretty good.

I think 80 points is cheap for a 4 wound str/t5 model. 5++ Means he can take 6 wounds. At the moment the third allows me to stack 7 in one wave, and I've planned it so that the princes are there to draw fire from the double thirsters and fiends. If the princes get into combat, it's just a bonus.

I think everything is fine except for the princes. With the way shooting is in 40k now-a-days a t5 model with a 5+ save isn't that great. What I would do is drop the hounds since you already have 3 units of fiends which pretty much fill their role and drop a daemon prince. Use those points to beef the other 2 princes up to something respectable. Try it both ways though and see which works best for you.

Yea, t5 and 5++ isn't great at all, but when you factor in the rest of my 1. wave, you need a lot of high str shots to take out all the threats. The way I see it is, with the current naked princes, I can get 7 squads into my first wave, and if I get my first wave, the princes should perform ok (since I'll have 5 MCs up in my opponents face). If I get in my second wave, then I just have to hope I don't come in piecemeal with the MCs.
