Competetive??...what would you change...

Certainly an interesting list, I don't think it'll be able to hold objectives terribly well though, horrors will die in large droves in CC, even with support.

I don't think you have enough crushers. You should try to free up points to try and make your crusher groups six guys each. I'm heard fleshounds aren't too impressive, haven't used them myself yet so I'm not sure. I would also take out a few horror squads for some plaguebearers to hold objectives. Last comment would be to try and fit one more DP of nurgle in there because there just awesome.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your replies folks...

@Sunoccard...Not really sure if 5 PB's hold up in assault vs. any sort of unit either...they certainly can take more down range fire...but my experience shows that 5 PB's are cleanly wiped by any assault dedicated unit first turn...and even by marine tac squads by turn two...so i figure I might as well get some firepower out of my troop choices...4 bs3 bolts count for something, right?

@ Brolaski...i would love to have more units also...but not so sure where the points would come from...thanks though...

I would drop the fiends. I haven't had success with them when I only run 1 unit. I would probably drop them for two units of PBs and probably another DP. Honestly, the only reliable anti-tank you have is your DP, Fateweaver, and (sortof) the chariot. The second DP will really help in that department.

Have you considered seekers for fast attack? They tend to give me a really nasty run of things in cc. I've been running a lash lord lately to keep them at bay, but once they get dug in they're in good. Bloodletters are pretty good for objective holding (hello power weapons).
Soul grinders are invaluable in a daemon list. You should run one. Maybe get rid of the crushers for this.

@ spyguyyoda...good thoughts thanks......I would like to keep the fiends...my thought was to send them out with the fleshhounds as they can keep up...as the crushers close...I would like to fit in another prince also...but...If i where to I would probably ditch the herald and the hounds for a DP instead...what do you think of that...my first thought is that it takes some speed away from my list...and trades it for hitting power....thanks for your input...

Dropping the Herald and hounds for the DP can work...a DP with wings isn't too much slower than beasts. I think you will certainly have a slightly easier time opening transports if you do. I run mostly Tzeentch and have found that my Tzeentch DPs open more vehicles in CC than they do with bolt
