This may come down to point levels so might not be much of a conversation. However, the new rules for 40kthe Belakor give us some new options.

Without a huge breakdown of rules, belakor has EW, mastery level 3, knows all of telepathy and gets d3 additional warp charges if your opponent failed a morale check last turn.

The advantages of the black mace prince is his daemon weapon and the ability to take him at the cost of a landraider. Belakor has just a standard weapon (though str 7, armor and fleshbane) but has huge synergy with your army.

Imagine invisible deathstars from csm. 20 invisible plague marines or allied seekers? Terrify can grant him additional warp charges next turn.

Unfortunately he's 100fun ppints more.

Thoughts ?

I think Be'laor is superior with guaranteed invisibility pwoer and eternal warrior. With smash Str. 10 is just way too common and eternal warrior make him the superior choice.

Right, but I8 black mace attacks with fleshbane will probably kill whatever you're fighting before it can smash you back.

As far as army lists I'd say belakor is better with a large unit to cast invisible on. The black mace prince is better in a flying circus list.

Be'lakor has 2+ jink in the air while granting the same to another DP for a circus list. Consider that.

Belakor is superior because of his telepathy knowledge.

Sometimes you don't want to Mace a unit to death and get shot at after anyway.

Belakor balances combat, durability and psychic power.
