This is what I'm looking at attempting to run. Fate being there to allow me rerolls for my book among other things, exalted gift on small fry to buff up screamer swarm. Plagues to land somewhere in terrain and go to ground every turn. Most likely going to try for iron arm on all 3 of my princes. May go for some psychic shriek action on them also if I feel I have a good chance of getting results. Please give me some help. Trying to mix flying circus with screamerstar. Not sure exactly the nomal build for flying circus, but this seems pretty strong for a tourney army.

A quick question also is if my daemon prince of tzeentch who is LD 9 is attempting to cast a psychic spell does that mean he gets it off even on double 6's? or does that still cap at 10?

They are LD 10 for tests basically.

That 2nd Herald needs a Disc. Wait, I guess he has one because of his points.

Nah he has locus instead of disc. I was going to stick him back with the horrors to help them with shooting attacks. May even roll him on tzeentch tree if the other one catches forewarning.

Fair enough, I just would want him to have a disc because if he's the one who gets Forwarning, it's only 12" range

You know what you're doin', of course!

Hmmm good point. that book has 24" range so not as hard to work around. You know what I agree with you disc instead of locus it is!

Why do your Tzeentch MCs not have Lesser Rewards?? It's the first thing you should always put on a DP.

I've also found that three DPs might be less attractive against horde armies. You need some Flamers to thin out Boyz, Gaunts, etc. Two suicide squads of 3 Flamers.
Use the extra points to boost your DPs to PML3 and 50pts of rewards.

Read the article in my sig on the differences between Daemonettes and Plaguebearers for holding objectives.
And finally, put at least one more Horror in that unit, for the 3D6 shooting.

hmmm, I didn't realize str was +2 on the baseline staff for them. so yeah that there is a huge benefit for daemon princes. What should I ditch in order to get my extra points for the suicide flamer squads? I could drop a troop choice, but that seems dangerous since 2 troops means they could just focus on my guys. I will probably try a few games with daemonettes and a few with plague. to see what happens there.

I could lower my screamer star by a few as another option, but what would be the ideal for that unit? 5-6?

Maybe something like this is what you're saying

Or are you saying to drop a daemon prince entirely which would open up booku options for my list. Would 3 FMC be enough though considering one is absolute crap in melee?

This here is another option if that is what you are saying
