Strugglnig to make an incursion list that isn't silly. How does this sound? Idea is to play the warp storm and khorne buffs for all they are worth.

Fateweaver

Karanak

Herald of khorne on juggernaut, locus of Wrath, Crimson Crown, lesser reward (axe)

8* flesh hounds

CAD

Herald of tzeentch

3 nurglings

11 horrors

Daemon knight errant of khorne, dirge casters.

I'm working with something similar but I like the Paladin knight better and get a exhalted reward on the herald to give the knight grimore. Crimson crown is tough to take advantage of as you need to have the MODELS within the range not units so very few things get extra attacks. I'd also try to replace the nurglings with an additional horror unit for more warp charges to help fatey get more powers off. The shooting D is great and if you roll things like cursed earth or invis you may want those as well.

Fatey will not have a lot of dice to work with here. Hes got his base 4, plus the d6 that you are rolling, so he will be working with ~7 dice per turn. While he can still do some cool stuff with those dice, he's not going to be completely wrecking face like he can with 12-15 dice.

This is what you are looking at casting
3 dice - Cursed Earth
2 dice - Bolt of Change
2 dice - Tzeentch’s Warpflare
Instead you will have enough to throw out one giant power like Prismatic Gaze. If Fatey has a bunch more dice to use, then he can really go crazy throwing out summon, incursion, prismatic gaze, etc every turn.

This really feels bolted on. The CAD just does not synergize well with the incursion. Making a death star of crushers would be a better fit, or trading Karanak for some soulgrinders.

Swapping the crown for a grimoire is .. probably for the best. I didn't realise it was models only, but you can still get a decent number of attacks off.

Will get another 3 dice from herald and horrors. Hopefully enough for 2/3 spells. The new powers do have great potential.

.. what is a death star of crushers? they aren't very tough.

In truth Karanak is the only auxiliary I have enough models to field.

They are when they have a grimoire on them, especially if you rolled the +1 invuln save -- giving them a 2++.
If you are taking fatey to muck with the warp storm table, that will be happening in about half of your turns.

Karanak also lets the crushers scout with the rest of your khorne dogs.

A very entertaining idea!

Of course , taking crushers puts me 100+ points over target. Sigh.

Swapping out the CAD for 9 units of screamers fits. Somewhat daft tho.

I've not tried the burning host yet, but on paper it puts out a lot of damage. I would suggest proxying a few games before buying 27 screamers.

Haha yeah no way am I buying 27 screamers, but my long abandoned scratch built bfg tyranid fleet makes for remarkably good proxies.

I am however nearly there with getting all the hounds.
