I was wondering which Chaos Daemons would be the best to kill vehicles. I was thinking screamers but I'm not sure. What is to your opinion the best anti- vehicle unit in the Chaos Daemons Codex?

Im new to daemons also. From what I can tell soul grinders with warp gaze. And monsterous creatures with their smash attacks.

With enough Greater Rewards you'll get Hellfire Gaze on some units.

Barring that, use flying monstrous creatures or Plague Drones to quickly catch vehicles and take them down.

Hellfire Gaze on a Flying Monster has always been useful to me.

FMCs and MCs seem to be the best AV for CD

Although if you run enough Plaguebearers you can glance stuff to death with the rust blades, but you'd need to run a lot of them, so that 20 or 30 are attacking each vehicle, but it does allow one to run an entire army of plaguebearers if they want

Monsterous Creaters (flying or not)
Screamers
Will do heavy armor.

Almost everything is pretty good at rear armor 10 Vehicles, if you take large squads

Bolt of Change from Tzeentch can be very good as well.

Before this gets too far, Warp Gaze is bad because its only BS3.

Phlegm is better because its S8 ordnance and more likely to hit

Slaanesh daemon princes with the lash. if they get iron arm then they get 2d6 str 7-9 shots. I heard 2d6 las cannon shots are pretty good

shame its ap- but yes it good for down vehicles and flyers

Against any tough vehicle (AV13/14) the only 2 real answers in the book are MCs (FMCs preferably), or lash of slaanesh with iron arm on a DP.

Grinders are great also if you can get them into cc, though their bs 3 makes the gaze a poor choice.
