Working on a list for an 1850 point tournament next weekend. I'm thinking about trying out Be'lakor, and taking him as the HQ for an allied detatchment of CSM - trying to pay the cheapest troop tax on him, but as I don't have anything I can use for cultists, I'll have to bring some Chaos Marines (as I have some marine armies and can proxy the loyalists in as renegades, traitors, or maybe even the Fallen). I figure they can cruise around in the rhino if they need to move, and hold objectives reasonably well with T5 thanks to the Mark of Nurgle.

Or I scrap that and go pure daemons, maybe just take one Slaanesh prince with the Lash for air support, add in a Herald of Slaanesh with some Seekers to outflank.

Strip the csm down to minimal to have more daemons!

Need 5 more CSM before you can purchase a second special weapon.

Why even bother with CSM? Just take belakor. Also LOC needs the lesser for str 8

Ultimately, this is kind of where my head is at. I think I'm going to drop the Tzeentch Prince and just take Be'lakor as the HQ for a second daemon detatchment, and give him two Nurglins swarms as troop tax.

I didn't give my LoC the staff because I don't find him getting into a ton of combats, I usually use him to fly around the battlefield, buffing with Divination, Vector Striking prime targets, and blasting infantry with Flickering Fire.

I think I'm going to take two Khorne heralds on juggers, then run them up with Be'lakor keeping them invisible. They should kill anything they hit pretty easily, especially given the charge. The FMC's can hopefully pop tanks or other MC's.
