So I've been running 5 or 6 different list for GT's this year and I've decided I'm going with fmc daemons. I know people will say this or that net list will beat it. But I've had great success against all the traditional (super lists) with this one.

HQ
Fate weaver

Slaneesh prince
Armour, wings, lv3, greater (lash), exalted (portal)

TROOPS
10 pink horrors
10 pink horrors

HEAVY
Tzeentch prince
Armour, wings, lvl3, greater, exalted (grimnore)

CSM
Bleak'or

10 cultists

Baledrake

Ok so I know the traditional counter to fmc spam is air lists but I think with fatey, the lash prince and the able drake I've got that covered. As far as keeping the grimnore alive I cast invisibility on him put him in area terrain givs him a reroll able 2+ cover. What do you guys think??

My only suggestions it to drop the baledrake for a unit of hounds or nurgle spawn. The extra unit on the board turn one really helps with threat saturation and you can kill anything the drake can already.

If I take out the baledrake and a mastery level off the two princes I can fit in a unit of 14 dogs

How many points is this? Curious to compare to other lists. GT is always a set points level?

Most GT's run at 1750pts so that's the base level for this list

Got an alternate list that's cheesier.

Csm primary

HQ
Sorcerer
Lvl3

TROOPS
10 cultists
10 cultists

FAST ATTACK
3 x Heldrakes

HEAVY SUPPORT
5 havocs
4 auto cannons

HQ
Overlord
Despair tek

ELITES
5 deathmarks
Night scythe

TROOPS
5 warriors
Night scythe

5 warriors
Night scythe

HEAVY SUPPORT
Doom scythe

Bastion w/coms relay

So that's 7 flyers full of cheese I know. The havocs and sorcerer hide in the bastion with the cultists behind or hiding anywhere out. Of line of sight.

You HAVE to find the 30pts to run a Despairtek with that deathmark unit. It really makes them great at eliminating a lot of hq units - can even deny nasty deathstars because ignore cover wounding on 2s and ap1!

I've been trying 4 destrukteks in the bastion. Should be better than it is. Maybe needs a destroyer lord or Zandrekh to make it worthwhile...? I think two obliterators on the board is better value and you could get all the cultists behind an aegis and keep yohr Comms relay?

Or just put the Havoks in the bastion?

OR, put an annihilation barge on top of the bastion for 4+cover without ever moving (full BS on everything).

I'm going with havocs inside the bastion instead of the crypteks

thats A LOT in reserves. I run something kinda similar with Necrons as my primary and especially if you plan to deepstrike the oblits and reserve the cultists you better have good reserves rolls (yes comms helps) but taking an aegis and comms with soooo much ignores cover now adays is sorta meh.... (i have it in my list as well cant decide if its worth it). Agree with needing a despairtek though also. And immortals over warriors ALLLLL day, game breaking difference.

Changed the second list up now Has 7 flyers (couldn't resist) I think any army is gonna have serious problems dealing with it. Can't wait to get the models and try it out.
