im confused with your list which is your primary foc and who are the allies since i think in the daemon codex DP is a heavy and in CSM DP is a hq but you have typhus

The CSM section is typhus and the 2 plaguemarine units.

It looks very powerful, but I have one suggestion based upon my experience with my friend's Death Guard:

If you can take double plasma in 6th Ed, do so.

I suspect that you can handle tanks without 4 melta guns. Just stare at em!

PS- Plasma will get you more for the Tally, with rapid fire

Good advice, thanks, i think ill replace them in one squad whilst in the other squad which i join with typhus is more close range so i will arm it with just 1 melta gun this latter will free points for the former change.

This is a SOLID list you have here. The Nurglings are great units for tarpit and the look of your opponent's eyes glisten with shame and rage as your Nurglings wound on a 2+ and ignore armor is priceless.
Also I aprove of this my child... Nurgle just wants to give hugs!!!!

You're welcome, and good luck

I am going to amend this list for an 1850 league and drop the herald and Typhus for a CSM Daemon prince w/ MoN and wings. I love the list and my question to all is; how to deep strike Daemons? (a general question but I have zero experience with a mainly Daemon force and separate waves). My local meta is SM variants, not usually mech, and a few Tau players spamming rail guns...

So i don't know if you mean how to do it full stop or just how to do it effectively but i'll atempt to answer both.

How To:
1. Split your daemons into units so join IC and such like
2. Then put half of your units in wave 1 and the other half in wave 2
-Wave 1 is the half that you want to arrive on the first turn
3. Roll to see wich half arrives first, on a 3+ you get wave 1 on an two or less you get wave 2
4. Deepstrike the units in the wave you get
5. Put the remaining units into ongoing reserves to be later deep-struck

Tactics:
-Put stuff to eliminate threats, soften units, and that adds to the tally quickly in wave 1 (and epidemius) this way you can immediately start adding to the tally and you can take out your enemies power pieces that the longer they live the more damage they do each turn (like landraiders)
-Deepstrike agressively, i always find this works best, i mean now that the deep striking chart is even safer it makes sense to do so with this army, so drop down the daemon princes two inches from some infantry so that they can breath of chaos it, not only is this good for adding to the tally, but also it scares most players when their big unit in imediate danger so quite often the big princes distract the enemy from killing epidemius. Pushing the enemy back into their corner make their ranged less effective and your templates and assualts more likely to succeed
-I like to include the icon in a unit i know i will put in wave one, so usually epidemius' unit, this way he can teleport meatshields around him and also incoming units can quickly get to the heat of the battle where they want to be after epidemius has superpowered them
-Bulk up epidemius' unit, i do this by combining him, before deepstrike, with the 12 plague-bearers and the herald of nurgle, then wy deepstriking this big unit go a bit further back from the enemy and away from impassable terain, it is important to deep strike this unit safely
-You can deepstrike your remaining three units of plaguebearers onto objectives and this is a very efficent way of capturing them unless there are allready lots of models swarming it in which case deep striking may be very hard.

I split my units so that my first wave is epidemius and his unit allong with all three daemon princes

That helped immensely! Thanks!
