Ok so here is a Incursion tetrad list. What do you think? Is it worth the tax to get the tetrad or should I just take a cad (adding kairos) then taking the tetrad?

Tallyband

HoN, lvl 1, doomsday bell, locus of fecundity, 1 greater reward 145

6X 3 nurglings 270
10 plague bearers (for herald to hide!), icon of chaos (10 points left...)

5 Furies

Tetrad

Khorne Prince, armor of scorne, wings, 2 greater rewards 270
Nurgle prince, wings, armor, exalted reward (grim), lvl 3, 1 greater reward 345
Slaneeh prince, wings, lvl 3, armor, 2 greater rewards 330
tzeentch prince, wings, timpossible robe, lvl 3, 2 greater rewards


Would it be better to put the exalted reward on the herald and let him grim princes from afar or better on the nurgle prince. I was thinking the herald to be the warlord, but could be the tzeench prince too.

Is this ok?

I plan to fight tau, with a storm surge, riptide wing. I was thinking all the pychic shrieks plus summoning would be great.

Its 1845 btw.

I'm building this list almost identically, still lots to paint though. I didn't take grimoire though, but I think it's a good idea to try it. You can't give it to the Herald because he already has a Helforged Artefact with thr Doomsday Bell. I think it's good on either the Nurgle Prince since he's the one with 2+ cover and won't need the buff as much as the others potentially.

Would love to hear how your battle goes.

I plan to try this tomorrow or sunday ( I have a game both days vs different people) and will let you know!

You need lesser rewards on those Princes, specifically the Tz one. He'll have str9 with the Staff. The Khorne one is the next priority as he can swap for the Axe of Khorne (ID those riptides!). It's ok not to have it on the other 2, but if you don't roll good Greater rewards you swap for a Greater Ether blade and a lesser Ether blade. Both are Specialist, so +1 Atk.

I'm not sure you need/want Grimiore in this list, there are no big deathstar units for you to take advantage of it and you don't have Fateweaver to help it go off. Sure +2 unvul would be great on a Prince, but-1 invul is too devastating to risk it. Plus, you may roll Shrouding with one of the Princes, giving all the princes nearby a 2+ jink.

So you think drop the grim and split the 30 points into lesser rewards? How would you ideally divvy it?

I would drop Grim & Icon for another Greater on the Nurgle prince (so all Princes have 2x Grt) and 1 lesser on the Tz & Khorne princes. Having 2x Greater on all the Princes really increases the chance of getting the 4+ FNP, making you able to stay on the ground. The Slaanesh Prince is the only one you want in the air, since you will be shooting the Lash.

If your opponent has lots of multi wound stuff, swap for the Axe of Khorne. If you roll a crappy Greater reward, also swap for a Greater Ether blade. This gives you +1 Atk and your choice of str 8 on the charge 6's are ID, or mastercrafted str 9 atks to wreck Walkers.

If you drop the grim and give the nurgle prince 2x greaters, you'll have 15 points left (since you already had 4). If you also drop icon it's enough to make the Herald ML2 which I think is worth it.

at Korne prince i will give skull reaver than armor of scorn or as some said the lesser reward for axe of K.

It just seems like the khorne price needs the bonus from shooting. He is such an obv target and its great even elder jet bikes wound him on 5s!

I like the armour too. It's cheap because it's just 10 points more than regular armour you'd be giving him.

Yes, the armour is great, especially for a daemon Prince who you already need to buy armour for. That's what makes the lesser reward nice too as it gives him some extra bite to force the enemy to waste shots at him.
