Why do people summon daemonettes over Flesh Hounds?

What other units do other people rate for summoning and why?

How many units do people summon over the course of the game (assuming a FMC list)?

What (if any) summoned units can shoot?

1) Rending. They're used for killing big bads. Hounds are just fast but Daemonettes are generally only 3" slower after a run.

2) Fly's for resiliency and tar pitting. Screamers for mobility. Plaguebeaerers for objective holding. Horrors for more power dice. Bloodcrushers on occassion for gutting smaller units or fast cc support.

3) With just 11 power dice I normally summon 3-4 units and 3-4 heralds. That goes up and down a bit but seems to be my average. Mine isn't a true FMC list and doesn't do a bunch of tzeentch heralds.

4) Flamers have flamers. Otherwise just psychic powers from horrors.
