Just had an interesting tournament. Played against Helldrakes for the first time. Brutal. Made me wonder how something like this might function in a tournament:

D Prince

Cultists (10 incl champ)

Cultists (10 incl champ)

Plague Marines(4 + champ in a Rhino)

Heldrake

Heldrake

Heldrake

Necron Allies:

Overlord

5 x Warriors (night scythe)

5 x warriors (night scythe)

6 x wraiths

Doom Scythe

There are five scoring units, but I still feel it might be a bit exposed on the table. Do people play this kind of list? I'm sure my D Prince is not built very well... I'd need to properly read the codex, but just toying with the idea really.

So everyone lives the list.

Plague Marines aren't scoring without a Nurgle Lord.

1850/1850pt.
Daemon Prince (275) - Daemon of Tzeentch;The Black Mace;Wings;Power armour;Gift of mutation;
10x - Chaos Cultists (50)
10x - Chaos Cultists (50)
5x - Chaos Space Marines (90) - Mark of Nurgle;
Heldrake (170)
Heldrake (170)
Heldrake (170)

Destroyer Lord (160) - Warscythe;Sempiternal Weave;Mindshackle scarabs;
5x - Necron Warriors (165) - Night Scythe (100pt.)
5x - Necron Warriors (165) - Night Scythe (100pt.)
6x - Canoptek Wraiths (210)
Doom Scythe (175)

That is how I would put it. I can definately work to a great effect, but as you mention, your ground troops will most likely die. Fortunately you have 2 flying troops, so you should be fine.

Well, its generally a strong list. This list was played twice in our bimonthly RTTs with good placement (top third).
