Anyways just an idea I had so here it is:

Keeper of Secrets 625
lvl 4, Siren Song, Torment Blade, Daemonic Robes

Herald of Khorne 265
Bsb, Juggernaught, Armor of Khorne, Great Icon of Despair

Skulltaker 200
Juggernaught

Herald of Slanash 165
Lvl 1

50 Daemonettes 655
FC, Siren Standard

8 Bloodcrushers 615
Standard, Musician, Icon of Endless War

2500

The one trick, probably can see it right . Well the #6 slanaash spell (which I have a pretty good shot of getting, as HoS rolls first, and then the keeper so 5 out of 6 spells) plus the -2 ld banner means the juggernaughts can run through most enemies even with steadfast. Skulltaker has flaming and high initiative so regen is no problem. The siren song is to make a mess of the enemies plans generally. And the reason for the horde of daemonettes is for point denial. Takes a while to kill that many I figure as they are not completely worthless in combat.

Well its a deathstar list that has problems against steadfast (only 3 ranks, but -2 ld and hopefully they test on 3 dice) magic (though not MM as 2+ ward, and s6 i4, multiple wounds, so the killer spells are not great against it, though pit+miasma would suck).

Anyways what do people think. Is it just a complete waste of time, or should I try it out for fun

PS. edited the list, Heroes were over by 10pts so added daemonic robes to the Keeper instead of siron song to HoS

Got to have 3 units to be legal, and I'm pretty sure characters don't count.
With the options for 2+ ward vs flaming being so cheap, I'm not a skulltaker fan.

I think this list would own
3x50 bloodletter, full command
3x heralds of tzeench, all with wings and loremaster; one herald is the BSB with the banner of despair.
2495 points.

Yeah, the heralds get a 4+ look out for being near bloodletters, and a 4+ ward. Not great, but better than nothing.

Haha similar to the list i run. Drop 1 horde and add crushers + flamers. Works pretty well actually.

Also didn't even think about the minimum unit thing. Could switch out something for 10 daemonettes.

Skulltaker is there as a high I flaming attack. So that if there is a regen monster I have a chance of taking it out. Could just go with Herald with flaming sword + AoK, but for 15 points more get another MR, which is nice, higher ws, I at a lose of S.

Skull Taker "Must Always Issue and Accept Challenges".
For 5 points, I know that my wizard will tie up for a very long time; because I had 5 spare points to blow and picked up the dragon bane gem.

IMO, if regenerating monsters are a problem, just run the normal herald. The normal herald is stronger, and has enough of the other stats for it to be a wash; without the downside of getting 2+ flaming ward punked in a challenge.

I'm no fantasy player so i may have no clue what i'm talking about here but why not just cut 10 daemonettes out of the pack of 50 and just run as another unit of 10 without the FC and Siren standard? You could have them lurk on one of the flanks or something? Then that way you have no need to replace anything.
