Hey all... quick question for ya'll. I've got a DOC army for WHFB, and since the update, have been considering converting it over to 40k (which I don't really play much, but am kinda interested in.) THe reason being primarily that the new army book for Fantasy makes DOC absolutely worthless, almost to the point of being uplayable unless you run a mono nurgle army. The question I am asking really is if I've got around a 2500 pt army of Fantasy Daemons, does that mean I've got a roughly equivilant force in 40k, or is there really any way to tell?

Not having either book in hand I can't definitively say, but since you have 2500 in Fantasy, you should have a fair amount.

It might pay to go to the Army List section and look at the model counts in some Daemon lists and compare that to your 2500 Daemon list.

good idea... thanks!

Share with us your list of models. We can help much better that way.

Yeah... I've got....
around 40 bloodletters
20 deamonettes
10 pink horrors (that i could easily convert to flamers)
around 25-30 plaguebearers
10 flesh hounds with Karnak (not sure on spelling)
3 demon princes
1 herald of slanesh
1 herald of nurgle
3 heralds of khorne
chariot of khorne
chaneling
skulltaker
thats all i can think of right now....

You easily have enough models/units to build a sizeable 40k army. You just lack a lot of the support choices (soulgrinders, screamers, flamers, etc.) so you'll have to go infantry-heavy.

Shame you don't have a greater daemon to match your princes (so they could be used as Heavy Support instead of HQ).

You could go:
Daemon Prince
Few Heralds (say 2 Khorne, 1 Slaanesh, 1 nurgle) each joined to an infantry unit.
2x20 bloodletters
1x20 daemonettes
1x20 plaguebearers

Which is, depending on upgrades for the heralds/prince easily 1500 points. Don't know how effective it is though

Add in the Flesh Hounds and you can go up to 1750 points probably.

Ok... well, that at least seems a good starting point. And I can always get some of those other things you mentioned if I decide to be a little more 40k serious.. Thanks
