Trying to figure out a list that would be able to take on my friends Eldar. I am relatively new with Daemons, I was thinking something like this.

HQ

Herald of Slaanesh on Chariot 65

Troops

10 Bloodletters, Icon 185
10 Bloodletters 160
12 Daemonettes 168
10 Horrors 170

Fast Attack

13 Seekers 221

Heavy

Daemon Prince, MoT, bolt 140

Daemon Prince, MoT, bolt 140


Total 1249


First Wave would be both Daemon Princes, one squad of blood letters with Icon, and one squad of horrors.

The Daemon Princes would attempt to disable/destroy the most potent tank, which would likely be a falcon. The horrors would focus fire on whatever troops aren't in a transport, and the letters would hold up the icon for next turn. I feel if I could take out a portion of a squad with the horrors, disable one his primary fire bases, and have four semi resilient squads that I shoud be able to hold up until the next half starts arriving.

What do you guys think?


He generally runs lists like this between 1000-1500, so I'll make a sample list for 1250.

HQ

Farseer guide, witchblade 78

Elites

5 Fire dragons 80

Troops

10 Dire Avengers, bladestorm, 2xcatapult exarch 152
Wave serpent TL Shuriken cannon, spirit stones 110

10 Dire Avengers, bladestorm, 2xcatapult exarch 152
Wave serpent TL Shuriken cannon, spirit stones 110


5 Rangers 95

Fast attack

6 Warp Spiders, Exarch 2x Deathspinner 149

Heavy

Wraithlord Scatter Laser, Starcannon 140

Falcon Scatter laser, Holo-fields, Spirit stones, Pulse laser, Shuriken Canon 185




Do you think my list could stab a chance at beating this?

Bloodletters are way overkill against Eldar in my opinion, they are also pretty slow and that Eldar army is fast enough to give you problems.

I would bring 3 units of 5 Horrors with Bolt on them and then use some Fiends/Seekers to close on the dismounted Eldar. Looking at his list, the real killer in there are the Dire Avengers, so if you can weather Bladestorms with enough left to hit back you will be in good shape. What that means (since he can Bladestorm from 18" away, is you need Beasts/Cavalry.
