After Playing around with different Chaos Daemon 1500 lists I chose to go with these 3 to post here for opinions. Fateweaver is a must for me for obvious reasons so he is an auto-include in all the lists. The Slaanesh DP Is My favorite DP because It has the ability to easily take down fliers and tanks with Lash(especially with Iron Arm). The Slaanesh DP also has the most firepower of the Daemon Princes because they can use 3 biomancy powers and the Lash each turn compared to the Tzeentch DP's Flickering Fire which uses all his powers. The problem with the Slaanesh DP is that you need to pay the KoS tax in order to take more than one of them and they are not as survivable as the Tzeentch Princes. The Problem with taking Fateweaver/Slaanesh DP/2 Tzeentch DPs at 1500 is that it leaves no room for anything but 2 units of 10 troops. This is why I am trying to decide between these 3 lists. Please help me choose which one is the most competitive and effective against most armies.


I left out upgrades because they are pretty standard(all DPs have a mix of greater/exalted rewards, ML3, wings, and armor)

List 1:
Fateweaver
Slaanesh DP
10 plaguebearers
10 plaguebearers
2 Tzeentch DPs(grimoire and portalglyph)

List 2:
Fateweaver
Slaanesh DP
10 plaguebearers
10 daemonettes
10 daemonettes
15 flesh hounds(hit with the grimoire and prescience if needed)
Tzeentch DP(grimoire)

List 3:
Fateweaver
Keeper of Secrets(telepathy)
10 plaguebearers
10 daemonettes
10 daemonettes
2 Slaanesh DPs(one has grimoire)


I want to know in your opinion which list is the most competitive and why. Please don't comment on the types of troops, that's not the point of this, thanks.

List 2. Here's why:

The Flesh Hounds offer a massive distraction in addition to being cooler than Corporal Hicks.

When you look at the points level, I honestly feel like all 3 are competitive.. But #2 has the Flesh Hound body count.

The first list is the flying circus, the rest honestly are good lists but i would say list a is your best bet if your playing to win, and i agree i play mono tzeentch, so yea pretty much fateweaver is the first thing i put into a list when making a new one, hes just to good to pass up and he makes tzeentch DPs what are the best for DPs you ca get heavy support.

honestly if your going to do the lash of slaanesh all powers from biomancy to get iron arm for the slaanesh DP for a great anti-flyer unit then yea take list a.
