When the tally gets up to 15 kills i get a 3+/3+/3+ save!
Please leave your thoughts and comments

This list is illegal, re-read the allies rules (regarding 2nd detachments)

The best part is that 1999 exists to avoid what your list is doing

That said, it needs more troops. If you take Fateweaver, take more demons to make up for his expensive cost so that he can re-roll saves and provide his bubble. If you take Epidemius, you need more Nurgle stuff to take advantage of him. In the end, the list as-is has zero focus and when it loses a big part it will suffer terribly

why is it not legal? i will play at a 2000 point setting and the list was never meant to be competitive

Who's getting a "3+/3+/3+" here? If you're thinking of the Plaguemarines, Fateweaver's rerolls do not apply to non-Daemon units.

If you're not going for a competitive list, I'm not sure what kind of critiques you're looking for, but I guess that's a moot point since the list is illegal. The reason it's illegal is that you're not taking the minimum requirements for double force org. If you're taking two allied detachments, you'll need 2 HQs and 4 troops in your primary detachment.

The way you have this wrote up is wrong. You can only have one allied detachment per Primary detachment, regardless of point value of the game.

However, since the Codex allows two choices per HQ slot for Daemons write it like this.

Fateweaver is a greater daemon and counts as a full slot. Epidemius could come in with other lesser daemons (Blue Scribes, Masque, etc.)

Ahh yes thanks for clarifying. I run two heralds so I got ahead of myself.

The two-choices-per-HQ could be your solution for improving this list (not to mention making it legal). Tossing out Fateweaver (who won't add much of anything to this army anyway) and throwing in the Masque would actually be a pretty solid option. Masque will combine very nicely with your Obliterators (group up units for Plasma Cannon/TL Flamer), which helps the Tally. Then you've got the Baleflamers which should be brutal combined with Pavane (although they unfortunately won't add to the Tally).

At this point you'd only be working with one Primary, one Allied detachment, but at 2000 pts that's probably fine. The prohibitive costs of CSM troops mean you probably don't want two CSM primary detachments anyway...

Thanks for all the input like i said this list was not meant to be competitive just the idea of a 1 in 27 chance to fail a save seemed very cool to me
