Duh. Of course a unit as as large as that is completely unwieldy and would probably only seen in Apoc/Gimicky matches. I said nothing about how viable in terms of delivery it was and that is the most powerful unit Chaos was capable of (from a dream team perspective if points/logic weren't an issue). And other MEQ do death star much better, I have stated that.

Realistically anything higher than 500 points in single unit is a big "shoot me please" sign. Most of the units discussed here would not be used in a normal 40k match anyway >_>

Which leads to this point:

"Most Powerful" is defined differently from person to person.
What you see as most powerful is to me not so.

**wuestenfux**

A Seer Council with 10 Warlocks led by a FortuneSeer.

**Miraclefish**

Commander Farsight with 7 Bodyguards all armed with Plasma Rifles and Fusion blasters, one with a Failsafe Detonator so they can't be swept, a further 14 Gun Drones and extra wargear to get the most from wound allocation.

16x AP2 shots, 7x AP1 Melta shots, 14x T/L Pinning S5 shots...

This is my go-to unit. They don't even look that scary.. Who's afraid of a bunch of ant eater horse things painted in pastel colors? Use them in Planetstrike and it's even bloodier.

If anything, I find this unit to be too killy. My goal is to keep them in assault and then break from combat and move to another assault in my next turn (leaving my opponent's smashed up unit for something cheaper to finish off). Massacre and you're left in the open to take fire which is definitely not the daemons' forte.
