Asp. Champ. /w power weapon



Well, first of all, this is all the models I've got. I wouldn't think of using a greater daemon actually if I had some other models. Anyways, if you guys put some comment I can shape the army according to that. What should I buy next? Is there a major flaw in the list? Thanks in advance.

as regards the greater daemon, it can be a sledgehammer through your opponent's army (aside from DE or GK!) if you can deliver it properly as it has more attacks than the daemon prince, is tougher and has a better inv save. The problem is it takes a bit of getting used to how your army works to be able to deliver it properly.
An advantadge for the daemon is that its another, cheap MC. But you need to keep him cheap as remember it possesses a champion model, so you need at least one champion option with NO UPGRADES, so the wargear is not wasted, for example if it possesses a champ with a combi-weapon + fist thats 15+15+10+25 on top of the 100 pts you pay for the Daemon
IMO just use it as another slaanesh lash prince until your a bit more experienced

The CSM squad need a transport, but also a champ with a plasma pistol wont see retirement, so drop that

the two squads of berzerkers with skull champ + fist are very good, but drop the daemonic possession and havoc launchers on their rhinos to keep the cost down. Havoc launchers are good but you need to squeeze more stuff into this list

Raptors.. are not so great, but can deep strike in and get rid of annoying heavy armour with meltaguns so use them for that.

Havocs - i like them, a lot of people dont but its good to go with all autocannons or missile launchers, or a mix of both. Heavy bolters are a bit underwhelwming and lascannons whilst good are far too expensive My autocannons are converted from weird guns from all over the place - its easy with CSM so give it a go
Also, havocs shouldn't bother with a champion but an extra guy with the Icon of Chaos Glory is a good shout so they don't run off the back of the board
