Just a fun 1999+1 list I thought of in my head. Thoughts?

I like this list. Has a good variety and still competitive for fun games. You should do pretty well and have fun doing so.
What do you plan to use for your exalted gifts (other than the grimoire of course) Only other unit I love that you don't have are flesh hounds.

other gift is portal glyph

Also, wondering people's thoughts. I have my Tzeentch Circus list for tourneys and what have you. I just kinda wanted to bring less heat towards my opponents on club night. Although I will say, after looking at this list, I'm not so sure how much less competitive it is when compared to my normal 2k list which is as follows:

HQ
Fateweaver
Lord of Change, mastery 3, greater,exalted

Troops
19 pink horrors
10 plague bearers
10 plague bearers

heavy support

Daemon prince, tzeentch, armor, wings, exalted, greater,mastery 3

Daemon prince, tzeentch, armor, wings, greater, greater, mastery 3

Daemon prince, Tzeentch, armor, wings, greater, greater, mastery 3


Thoughts?

I like it, you've got a lot of speed here which I think leverages the strengths of the Daemons. Competitively I prefer the second list for the troop types, but the first is slightly fluffier.

One thing I would recommend is using the gifts on the princes and LoC to pick up a Staff of Change for each. +2 str is no joke.

Considered lesser on the princes, but this came to 1995. My other option would be to drop 2 horrors to give the staff of change to the dps. My logic was the following... Against troops and most infantry str 6 is enough, against everything else there's smash.

We were discussing how to make deamons less compeptative with our daemon friend over this last weekend.

There are only two ways to make deamons a non competative list without completely taking random items, or purposefully playing poorly.

Replace Fateweaver with a Lord of Change

Don't take Grimore


If you have a grimore and fateweaver, no matter what you do its a competative list. casual armies will not be able to take on a 2++ or a 2++ rerollable list.

Unless your willing to make purposeful tactical errors, like deploying wrong, or choosing the wrong/useless unit to grimoire, taking different models doesn't magically turn the deamons strengths into weaknesses.

I don't mean to come off as Daemons are OP because they aren't they have counters in the competative scene, but if your opponent isn't running a competative list, without the above changes it is going to be hard to make it a competative game.

Very interesting, would you consider daemons a top three army right now?
