This is going to be upsetting to most players. Some may even call it over kill.

The idea is make a fire based list. Here we go.

HQ

Fateweaver-333

Bluescribes- 130

ELITES

Flamers x10 - 350

Flamers x10 - 350

Flamers x10 - 350

TROOPS

Horrors x5- w/bolt and Changeling - 100

Horrors x5- w/bolt - 95

Thats a lot of "fire"-power....

Comments? Concerns? Lols?

Cool idea, and it will look pretty scary on the table; what's your plan for dealing with a mech army?

ummmm......I dont call that over kill, I call it a tzeentch army and they only bit that makes me upset is that its not slaanesh

on a less trolly note, yeah its a nice list though if you want a fire as in shooty list its all you really can have. I personaly would make room for a soul grinder or two (you should be able to get two in exchange for 1 flamer unit)

what are you planning on putting in wave 1 and 2

Was just going to bolt all the enemy vechiles to death from cover.

I was thinking some grinders, but that means less "fire"

The reason its the "fire" list is beacuse its called Warpfire lol

Grinders are always my fav, if ya havent noticed my name lol Any other suggestions?

Most of your points are tied up in flamers. I'm not great at daemon units but don't they basically just DS, kill a unit and die? If so then 10 models per unit is probably too much. Odds are they can do their job with fewer numbers. You'll want to downsize the footprint anyway so they're at less risk of failing to arrive.

Just a thought, but for one, orks do have more possible flamers. Oh and, now when you DS only a few will be able to shoot. Have fun firing a flame template from a circle.

I think after your initial drop and flame, your list will go down hard. Those three squads of flamers won't be too hard to get rid of after they drop, even if they are in Fateweaver's bubble. Also, you won't be able to shoot all ten flames on your initial drop because of the way that deep-striked models have to be grouped together. I played an all Tzeentch list for a long time and experimented with larger flamer squads and found that I couldn't get more than four flame templates to hit after my initial drop. I usually just go with the bare bones squads of three.

I think Fateweaver is wasted in this list. He excels in providing protection for heavy hitters like DPs and bloodcrushers. I also think the Blue Scribes are a bit of a waste. Drop your whole HQ section and replace it with 4 heralds of Tzeentch on chariots. They can fly around tossing bolts around all willy nilly.

What to do with those extra points? DPs with MoT and breath (flame template) would fit in with your fluff. Adding to the horror squads to give them some legit firepower might work. I usually build my armies around 6x5 horrors with bolt, but have occasionally ran squads of 10, which can put out a lot of shots.

Here is an example of a 2k Tzeentch list I used to run.

4x Herald of Tzeentch on chariot with bolt and master of sorcery (one has an icon) 400
3x 3 flamers 315
6x5 Horrors (one squad has an icon) 570
3x DP w/MoT, wings, iron hide, and bolt (the DPs are pretty expensive but very survivable with the 3+/4++) 690

That's 13 bolts, plus the flamers and the DPs with wings that can move fast, shoot bolts and then hit like a ton of bricks in the assault phase. This is a list that will make doubters believe that chaos demons are a codex to be reckoned with. And this is far from the top build of Fatecrusher.

The problem here is definitely staying power. Even with fateweaver, this list will probably get shot to death, and definitely get assaulted to death.

I'm sorry this list is bad.

If you rolling with an all tzeentch - you'll need screamers and tzeentch daemon princes.

More than 3 flamers is silly, they're a suicide unit, that doesnt work in greater numbers. You can only drop 3-4 templates once DS.

Drop the blue scribes, enlist tzeralds on chariots.

It wasnt meant to win... it's meant to be funny. But you guys just kill all the lols out of it......

I know how to make a daemon list. This was just meant to be a fun list.....

The title would suggest otherwise ...

on-topic though: I actually built myself the scribes for the hell of it. i like the fluff. But theyre not nearly as funny as one may think. Great unit for conversions though

No, no. With that much Warpfire in the army, it actually is quite a "hot" list indeed.
