I'm considering playing a few games of Kill Teams this week, and would love to use my daemons for it. However I'm stuck as to what would make a good list. I do not want to take horrors due to them either being totally over powered (Each model gets 2d6 shots) or totally underpowered (the whole squad's 2d6 shots can only be used by one model per turn). It depends on how people run the brotherhood of psykers special rule. For these games however I don't want to be debating this, I'd rather just ignore pink horrors in kill teams.
So can anyone offer a better or alternate list than the one below?

Fast Attack
Flesh hounds of Khorne - 12 Hounds

Pretty easy list huh, though a little boring. Am I overlooking anything significant here?

depending where your playing horrors are amazing as they are a psyker mastery level 1 each and can generate 2-12 str5 ap4 shots each i play in a gw so i can only use 10 but still 10 are amazing

Yeah I agree, as I said they are broken. Possibly one of the best things in kill teams if you let each guy shoot 2d6 str 5 shots per turn.

I want the list to be good and fun to play, but also not rage inducing for my opposition.

If it was WAAC then sure I would abuse the horrors, but I would rather not use them for the friendly games I have planned. Having a possibility of 44D6 str 5 shots per turn is a bit cheesy isn't it?

I was thinking of daemonettes, but I fear 22 daemonettes probably wouldn't last too long.

2-3x Crushers with hearld on jugg and take the grimore... ENJOY 3+ /3+ all day!!!!

My old kill team was just 5 crushers, but with the pt changes and the new book you can take its just dumb

You can't take heralds in Kill Teams because they are a HQ choice.
You get up to 1 elite, 2 troops and 1 fast attack. Even then why would you take gimoire? It would only effect one model, and is 2/3rds the price of another blood crusher.

Personally I run 3 drones and 3 flamers for my daemon kill team since they are all highly mobile and put out decent damage and well rounded and don't abuse daemon horror cheese

I can see plague drones being an option here. Why the flamers? I guess the templates would be good for overwatch vs 1 model, but the shooting phase would be pretty poor without uni coherency.

How about this?

Warlord: Beast of Nurgle

Troops: Furies of Slaanesh x17


The Beat of Nurgle gives me a rather durable warlord. The furies are very fast being both jump infantry and fleet +3 run speed. Also their weakness of LD2 is almost completely negated in Kill Teams.
