The idea is Belakor Invis the Maulers, the Chaos Lord and Spawn, Himself, or the Mini-Screamer Star. The ScreamerStar will Grimoire themselves, the Maulers, or Belakor. Horrors and Heralds summon more daemons as possible. Belakor and the Grimoire herald basically configure the army to best defend the next round, creating 2 headaches and multiple target priorities even late game.

The weakness I see is Anti-Air, with vector strikes and flickering fire as my best two options. Im considering droping a Maulerfiend for Soul Grinder, or a portal glyph and another unit of horrors to boost summoning and help with low model count.

Thoughts? I lost all my stuff and I'm starting from scratch. I want to make a flexible and brutal CSM army in the current meta, which is difficult.

Myrrrrr not sure about a screamer star without kairos...
I like all the elements you're trying to fit in.

Yeah Fatey needs to be involved with the star also add 1 more pink horror for the extra warp charge, The grinders are nice as nurgle they get shrouded and have mad range, just sit and control a backfield objective and have access to skyfire, not that 3 shots hitting on 4's is that good but better than nothing.

Can't have a full screamerstar ally as fatey and the heralds take up two hq slots. More to the point, what would you drop for 400pts? Both maulers and the heldrake? Seems like a flat wash at best.
