Not really sure why this is an article exactly, but as for Help with competitive Daemons there are 2 lists that typically perform well at tournaments (there may be others but these are the 2 most common.)

The First List is Flying Monstrous Creature Spam.

A Typically List looks like

Fateweaver
Sometimes a greater Daemon of Choice
3 Daemon Princes (wings, Armor, Greater reward, second Greater reward or exalted reward, LV 3 psyker, Mark to match fateweaver or other GD)

Min troops

They also sometimes include CSM allies in another prince, cultists and a Heldrake.

This list typically performs around use of LOS blocking terrain, flying on and off the table, picking fights you can win, and contesting objectives late.


The second list is Screamerstar

Fateweaver
3-4 Heralds of Tzeentch on disk with Level 3, a couple exalted gifts, one with the S+1 psychic shooting Locus.
9 Screamers

Troops
then other units to taste (usually FMC, because they make it easy to deny shooting targets)

Heralds Roll for Forewarning, take Tz shooting powers, Prescience etc. Use Exalted for Grimoir of True names and run around with a 2++ re-rollable save.
