Do you already own all these models? you willing/able to get more?

and what exactly are you aiming for..a nurgle/tzeench combo list or you want competitive daemons list?

Oh, sorry if i was a little vague

These are models i have 'cause i figured that Nurgle and tzeentch would make a good team with one hold down the fort while the other shoots.

I am willing and able to get more, i just want to know if this is the right direction to go in for a fun and easily competitive daemons army

I am willing to make changes, even it is scrap this list and make another without this that and the other

Well it's certainly a fun theme but currently you are 90% in the 'just for fun' department.

The only real competitive thing you have there are the plaguebearers and the screamers.

Are you sticking to just 1,000 pts ?

Not really, I just thought that it would be a good starting point.

Try this for a solid start into daemons it combines tzeentch and nurgle into the type of build you seem to want to do

1000 Pts - Chaos Daemons Roster

HQ:
1 Herald of Nurgle, 150 pts (Exalted Rewards; L: Greater Locus of Fecundity; Psyker (Mastery Level 2); Warlord)

1 Herald of Tzeentch, 140 pts (Greater Rewards; Psyker (Mastery Level 3); Disc of Tzeentch)

1 Herald of Tzeentch, 150 pts (Exalted Rewards; Psyker (Mastery Level 3); Disc of Tzeentch)

Troops:
10 Plaguebearers of Nurgle, 90 pts
10 Plaguebearers of Nurgle, 90 pts

Fast Attack:
8 Screamers of Tzeentch, 200 pts

Heavy Support:
1 Soul Grinder, 180 pts (Mawcannon - Phlegm; DA: Daemon of Nurgle)


Total Roster Cost: 1000


The herald of nurgle as your warlord with biomancy powers will be very tough for your opponent to kill as well as having the ER to activate the portal and spawn more plaguebearers to hold objectives

The soulgrinder and camp together as a back up counter-assault unit for your plaguebearers as well as blast enemies away while claiming a very very good cover save

the heralds are on discs to join the screamers and form a less competitive screamer star that isn't 100% OP but will give you enough offensive punch to play them like a surgeon and cut down key targets.

What do you think?

at higher points cost you can boost up by grabbing another grinder, fateweaver and some more plague bearers

1500 Pts - Chaos Daemons Roster

This is pretty solid isn't overly competitive (people will play you without bitching like they do when they see 5 FMC or full on screamerstar) and you'll have a very good chance to defeat most lists

Wow, this list look pretty damn good.

I like how it looks complex yet is simple to understand at the same time. It's way more interesting than what I thought you could actually put in a list that was 1000 pts or less

All I need to get is the soul grinder and another tzeentch herald and i have it aswell

Thanks a heap dude, I'll be sure to get started with those ASAP

No problem glad I could help.
