The herald will roll on the Tzeentch psychic table for strength 7 flickering fire, everything else rolls on daemonology for summoning and hopefully cursed earth on the FMCs. The prince rolls on the Tzeentch warlord trait table for another chance at +1 to his invulnerable save in case he doesn't get cursed earth. The forgehost is more or less my only form of anti air, although if one of them kills a model with a torrent the other two get to reroll to hit with their harvesters, which is nice. I think the grinders would be better off as daemons of Nurgle, but I'd like to stick to the Tzeentch theme. Having said that I have no objection to summoning non-Tzeentch daemons.

My only comment is that you're pretty light on ranged Anti-Tank. S7 Flickering Fire (btw you don't have to roll on Change, it's the primaris which he automatically gets) is good, but AV13 will be tough and AV14 impossible.

You do have Soul Grinders to punch that stuff, but that doesn't always happen since they're not that fast. One thought would be to replace the Daemon Prince with Fateweaver. He gets all of the powers of Change so he has all the cool powers including the new Strength D shot. You could also replace the LOC for him but you'd need to find more points. I think a LOC will do more for you than a DP anyways.

Btw, the exalted flamer is buffed to s10 in that formation, should help with tough armour.

hmm, why would you take a Tzeentch DP over a LoC? T6 makes a big difference. Also end up being cheaper most of the time?

This^^ cant be stressed enough.

Oh right, exalted flamers. I forgot they have S10 shooting. Ok I take back my comment but still think Fateweaver would be a good swap for the DP.

If I swap the prince for Fateweaver, that leaves me with 20 points, then I could swap the staff on the LOC for a grimoire. I'm still lacking in anti-tank apart from Fatweaver's D power, and I'm not a fan of exalted flamers due to the short range and lack of mobility. Here's what I'm thinking:

Chaos Daemons CAD

+Kairos Fateweaver
Troops
+2 units of 11 Pink Horrors
HS
+Soulgrinder with Daemon of Tzeentch and Baleful Torrent
LoW
+Chaos Knight Errant
Total: 2000 points

So, the CAD gives me two things; a couple of objective secured units to guard backfield objectives after tagging them with daemonic corruption, since that basically makes them uncontestable, and a LoW slot to field a knight errant for vehicle hunting. The biggest issue I can see is the lack of anti-air, and at 2000 points flyer spam could be a massive problem.
