Pretty simple, MON or MOT Close Combat Winged Princes? I know MON is more popular for CC princes, but I figured that MOT would be more surviable for the first turn of getting shot at with the 4+. Both have Iron btw. I have 215 points to spend for each prince to fit in my list.

Please Post. Thanks Could really use the help.

Nurgle, nurgle nurgle....Having everything str 4 wound on 6's instead of 5s is huge. Run one of each in a game, and see how you feel. I think you will side with nurgle. T6 is the same to lascannons and missles, but against all those bolters..heavy bolters....all the str 4. 6s to would is rough. Just my take on it. But I Run 3 princes, 1 nurgle, 1 tzeentch, 1 khorne

Nurgle for CC... T6, wounding everything on 2+ (with rerolls half the time)... No brainer. Way more expensive than MoT princes, but beefier

But... Against all those S8 krak missiles and PF attacks that ignore your 3+ armour the extra T makes no difference, 4+ inv does. Guess it depends on what type of hits you will take more of; lower S or high.
Ignore me wrong codex sorry!

Really DPs get shot at by high str/ low AP Weaspons, so MOT is better than MON than, because normally I just deepstrike in and get shot at by 3 dev squads and or heavy shooting units.

I would have to say it depends on what kind of armies you tend to face, but I will suggest one thing. If you take MoT, drop Iron Hide. I don't believe that you'll be getting that save frequently enough to justify it, what with the 4++ in play. Of course, if your guys tend to get bolter spammed then there's an argument for it, but I for one would take one or the other.

Daemon Prince
MoN, Wings, Iron Hide, Cloud, Touch

Shazam. 215 exactly, and quite nasty in CC.

Yeah I think Im going to go with winged MON CC Princes.
