Hi, I'm going to start playing Warhammer with my friends and I was intrigued by the Chaos Daemons. After looking around a little I have made this list.

HQ
Daemonic Heralds
Herald of Tzeentch - Psyker lv 3, Disc of Tzeentch
Herald of Tzeentch - Disc of Tzeentch

Troops
Pink Horrors of Tzeentch 10x with Iridescent Horror
Pink Horrors of Tzeentch 10x

Fast Attack
Screamers of Tzeentch 5x

Thanks

Looks fine for a starting point. Might be good to drop the Iridescent Horror and a single Screamer to give one of the Heralds an Exalted Reward for the "Grimoire of True Names".

It is worth noting if you are just starting out. The points of the list you just gave us is to cast summoning ~ 2 times a turn. Which means there are about 8 units you should expect to summon that are not in your list above.


Something to keep in mind if you are buying and building the army.

I'd suggest dropping the extra disc herald (a lvl 1 herald just isn't significant enough to take) and then bumping up your horror squads to 11x (so they generate 2 warp charges instead of 1) putting an exalted reward on your remaing herald (grimoire is amazing) and then if you drop the irredescent horror you'll have enough points to get a 6th screamer.

Also I suggest looking at Curse of the Wulfen as it has a lot of daemon additions such as new artifacts and warlord traits for Tzeentch and an expanded tzeentch psychic table.
