Went up against Nurgle daemons + CSM yesterday and it ended up being a really close game.

However, the one thing that really gave me trouble was a Flying DP and a GUO both having initiative and instant death on anything in my army that could reliably hurt them.

Shooting them doesn't seem reliable (especially when the DP jinks for a 2+ cover).

The only thing that worked was feeding the prince a full biker squad and letting the war boss get in a few hits which didn't Instantly kill the prince due to Eternal Warrior from Endurance.

How would you handle this?

There isnt much to do outside of tarpitting or sending something CC oriented.

That's what I figured.

A Deffdread might put in some work against the Prince but be completely useless in every other game I play and I don't want to be list-tailoring. I also don't really like the model.

Ah well, it was a close game regardless so it's probably not that important to find a hard counter to it.

Indeed just do the orky thing and throw more bodies at it till it stops moving for 3-5 turns.

Traktor kannons man! they will down the gak out of that Flying DP. for the GUO.. a boyz blob with a nob and warboss with klaws should do it! maybe a mek to soak up a challenge.

Are TK ignores cover? I don't play in a meta with a lot of flyers so again, I feel like they'd be seen as list tailoring but I might kit bash some nondescript mek guns to be whatever I need them to be for different games and try it out.

Yeah I figured tarpits would work well enough, by the time the GUO deep strikes my boyz mobs are looking a little thin though aha

TK's just have to wound a FMC and then it's basically an auto fail for their grounding check. I agree completely with Sal4m4nd3r, best way to deal with them is a boyz blob with a couple pk's hidden in it and a mek to red shirt the challenge.

I always include at least 6 TK's in all my lists, their just too good at AA and the overall meta still has a lot of flyers thanks to nids, daemons, crons, GK's, and DE.

Regular mellee works vs daemon princes. Use slotless meks to die in challenges while pk does it's job. If you fail to kill it in one go, don't accept challenge with a nob. You're better off just tarpitting it and passing mob rule. And remember, it's a 300+ pt model.
