Is it Daemons or Demons?

Anyway, I digress. How would you ally Demons with the IG? I am reading Screamers are the new hotness.

Simply apply plaguebearers, and never worry about losing objective based games ever.

I've used daemons many times with my traitor guard army.

A few daemons work very well. Throw in some flamers/screamers/seeker chariots/bloodthirster or herald and you have some great utility. Fateweaver does not work as well in that role.

Another option is to bring skulltaker, a khorne herald, and 8 bloodcrushers. That's a very solid assault unit that your opponent has to deal with. I've used that to good effect a few times.

The only problem that I've run across is that you might go to heavy on assault-based daemons and then nullify your shooting IG.
