Yes that is right my primary force is daemons and I am not fielding a single screamer or flamer. You might ask why they are sooo awesomez! Because I believe I can win without them. They are a little over the top and to over-competitive for standard tournaments which is the list I am running. I am also a player that refused to play with GK's with they came out. I like a challenge and if I run a list like that I dont think it would be that challenging to not only win a game but annihilate my opponent. Without further delay here is my list:

Total Roster Cost: 2000

HQ:

1 Bloodthirster, 275 pts Unholy Might + Blessings of The Blood God (WARLORD)

1 Bloodthirster, 275 pts Unholy Might + Blessings of The Blood God

Elite:
5 Bloodcrushers of Khorne, 210 pts Fury of Khorne

Troops:
5 Pink Horrors of Tzeentch, 95 pts Bolt of Tzeentch

5 Pink Horrors of Tzeentch, 95 pts Bolt of Tzeentch

4 Pink Horrors of Tzeentch, 100 pts : Bolt of Tzeentch
1 The Changeling

Heavy Support:
Daemon Prince of Chaos, 215 pts (Daemonic Flight + DG: Iron Hide + DG: Unholy Might + MC: Mark of Khorne + DGK: Blessings of The Blood God)

HQ:
Typhus 230 pts

Heavy Support:
3 Obliterator 237 pts (Mark of Nurgle + Veterans of the Long War)

Troops:
Plague Zombies (17#, 78 pts)

Plague Zombies (20#, 90 pts)

Fortifications:

Aegis Defense Lines, Quad Gun 100pts

Total roster cost: 2000pts

What do you all think of the list? The bloodthirsters and daemon prince are the mobile threat/anti-air. The pink horrors are anti-infantry but basically objective holders. Typhus joins the large unit of plague zombies and walks across the field while the blood crushers start the party with 10 T5 3+/5+ wounds. One of the zombie units will probably remain on my side behind the aegis to make use of the quad-gun and hold any objectives on my end. I figure 4+/5++ should make them very hard to kill. The oblits will probably post up in a ruins or behind the aegis and provide anti-tank and anti-air fire support or they could deep strike for 6 T5 2+/5++ wounds in ur face that are wielding w/e weapons needed for the job along with a powerfist.

Well, its a strong list even without Flamers and Screamers.

As always my biggest worry here is dark eldar and maybe even guard.

The tournament is tomorrow I will let you all know how the list holds up...

Good luck, I'm interested in how you do against flyer-heavy lists.

Game 1: Minor loss to Abbadon CSM(they ruled anything can contest table quarters so I saw a hell drake and a rhino shoot onto my side on the last turn so no one got table quarters and it came to him winning 1-0 on vp because first blood)
Game 2: Massacre Win vs Space wolves/Mephiston blood angels (This was a very one sided game with a blood thirster killing mephiston on turn 2 and his stormraven not coming in until turn 4 by then I had my quad gun and the opponents quadgun to shoot it down)
Game 3: major loss vs 5 night scythes with 5 warripors a piece, 3 wraiths, 3 annihilation barges, and 2 command barges.(game was closer then the score showed he mind shackled a daemon prince and typhus to death in the final 2 turns and I failed a good number of saves before he moved all of his night sycthes to my depoyment zone and disembarked for +2 VP a piece. Game ended 15-11.

Overall I was very pleased with the list even though it went 1-2 on the day I ended 5th. I feel like the first mission I would of won had the mission been normal. It just so happens is was a wonky one and I didnt have the tools to bring down his 2nd helldrake in time.

Plague zombies kills on the day: 2 units of wraiths, 1 unit of TWC. They killed everything they got in combat with for the most part. I was very impressed with their performance. In addition, the bloodthirsters and oblits both were gold. I would have to say the weakest thing in my list was the pink horrors as I suck at making 4+ saves.
