You should get nurgles troops, since they're tough and so are great at capturing objectives.

I would probably drop the DP. He's just too fragile for 320pts.

So what is the total point cost? You didn't put cost of skull cannon

If you're going to run lots of lesser daemons, you will need 3 things:

Skull cannons so you can charge multiple in cover units. Think about taking 2.

Max heralds. Take all 4 and stick em each with a lesser daemon squad.

Icons for combined deep strikes.


I'd start off with your pink horrors and plague bearers on the map. Give all of your daemonettes and bloodletters icons and start them off in reserves. DS them in and assault marked squads.

The post is edited and at the time I had forgotten to put the skull cannons points cost in

I would try and squeeze a unit of seekers in there, around 10 is a good number. They are fantastic in combat and are fast, so make for a great point for your daemons to deep strike onto. However they are rather fragile, so you need a decent amount of them. If I remember correctly they have scout, so bang them up 12", then move up 12" you'll be right in your opponents grill! Also I'd stick a pallanquin onto the herald of nurgle, I find it to be an auto include to my lists, +1 A and +2 W is too good to give up
