So I got the codex last week but havent yet decided on a list. I havent used daemons before so advice would be appreciated.

List 1

Spoiler:

List 2

Spoiler:

List 3

Spoiler:

Which list do you prefer and why? What could be tweaked to improve each unit from said list or the list in general?

**TheApexHunter**

I like list 2... however i'd probably drop 2 CSM for 2 HL

**Metroidd**

I can't drop the CSM squads lower, Daemonkin book is min squad size 8.

You are forgetting the Possessed tax in all of your lists, unless you are running unbound.

In list #1, Cultists don't count towards your minimum of 2 Berzerkers, CSM or Bloodletters.

In list #2, you need 1 more unit of Bikers.

And in list #3, you need 2 units of Bloodcrushers to go along with the Terminators.

Unless of course you are running unbound like I said earlier.

I am not a fan of the new "formations" that we are saddled with, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

**Captyn_Bob**

Possessed tax is for the blood host dude. Not compulsory at all, you can take a combined arms detachment just fine.

**Metroidd**

Yea, the 3 lists are all CAD detachments, as throwing in any of the formations at 750 points would just be a waste i think, I may take a slaughter cult at one point bibut not completely sold on tje possessed tax

**RSJake**

Oh, I was under the impression that was the only way to take a Daemonkin army. Thanks!

**Metroidd**

Nope, the formations are just a type of detachment you can field, like every army you can still take a CAD (COmbined arms detachment) which is the normal 1 HQ + 2 Troops requirements
