lots of big guys, decent objective secure options
Belakor can start by casting Invisibility on the Fiends and then once they reach CC the D-Thirster can come down and get invis cast on him too.

Seems about as optimised as possible

any recommendations guys?

Looks good. I would prefer horrors to the nurglings, just that extra warp charge to get your powers off (and if lucky late game summoning)

I don't know if a single warp charge will be more efficient then 2 units of nurglings holding objectives, especially since first turn the Horrors wont be in play yet, so no warp charge.

TBH I dont really feel the Horrors. Nurglings are just insanely better Rippers swarms so I can work with that, (Im also a Tyranid player)

i get the idea with nurgle grinders, but i think, on the whole, they are better to have right up in the thick of things. YMMV
plus in this list, it isn't contributing to the tithe.

i second the vote for horrors to help with casting.

I see what you mean with the Soulgrinder not having BftBG but since I already filled the FA and the HS slot of my Daemonkin CAD I don't see anything I could take that would be more synergistic than another Soulgrinder, would you have any recommendation?

I also kindof like the idea that Belakor comes with some nurgle to support the Khorne army.

2 people that support the horrors eh? I never really liked the feel of them but I suppose I haven't really given them a chance. they don't seem that survivable, or offensive, sure some warpcharge is nice but they dont give that much.

how well do they normally do for you guys?

With daemons I tend to stay with one god.... horrors are indeed ..... horrible when you have just one unit, thow out 5 or 6 and you are giving your opponent something they need to deal with.

honestly, i'm not sure on the grinder. but i have a hard time writing daemonkin CADs above 1500… haha. i also have a hard time going without hounds, and i really like the gorepack. (unless something was missed, i only see 2 FA slots being used.)

i put horrors in groups of 11ish just hide in the backfield, or wherever, and they give you 2 warp charges each. they are fine to go to ground because they don't need to do a whole lot, and they can come with a malefic power. if you want, you can deep strike them.
4+D6 dice vs 8+D6 dice? now you got a psychic phase going.
