Any opinions people?

Do you plan on using daemons as a meat shield for your gunline? I guess that could work...but I think they are desperate allies right?

Yeah I think so, I was thinking that throwing the hounds and blood thirster at them straight off the bad would cause problems for them. Then dropping the blood letters off next turn would hopefully keep most of their troops dead/tied up so I could pick off the rest of the army with my shooting. Just an idea I wanted Dakkas opinion tis all. Haven't bought any of the demon models yet just throwing ideas around

I have found Bloodletters an awful unit especially in size of just 10. Never managed in four games to get them into combat usually getting annihilated by overwatch. T3 is awful.

Yea I think you'd have better luck with something like...plaguebearers maybe? they are tough, althought not that efficient from what I've seen in close combat, but hey, they are a touch wall in front of your fish
