Hi all,

So I have a tournament coming up in the next two weeks! My faction of choice is Chaos Daemons.

Here is the list:

Infernal Tetard Formation

Daemon Prince
MoT, Daemonic Flight, The Impossible Robe, Level 3 Psyker, 2 Greater Gifts, usually the warlord.

Daemon Prince
MoS, Daemonic Flight, 2 Greater Gifts, Level 3 Psyker

Daemon Prince
MoK, Daemonic Flight, 2 Greater Gifts, Skullreaver, Warp Forged Armor

Daemon Prince
MoN, Daemonic Flight, 1 Greater Gift, 1 Exalted Gift(Usually Grimore), Level 3 Psyker

Combined Arms Detachment
HQ
Kairos Fateweaver

Herald of Tzeentch
Paradox, Level 3 Psyker

Troops
Pink Horrors x12

Nurglings x3

Total 1848

So general idea for this list is use the herald of tzeentch to summon more models for me. Grimore prince puts it on either fateweaver or khorne prince based on situation and the khorne prince is the only one with armor so grav wont be an issue. Slaanesh job kill flyers with lash potentially strength 10 with iorn arm. Khorne has the skullreaver so ever 6 is a D hit so knights eldar knights and super heavys are in trouble! Also he kills the culexus for me too and I summon screamers as well to killl him I dislike that model alot haha! Anyways tell me what you guys think!

Hey there! There has been a lot of talk about the Tetrad, and a few of us wrote up an article giving you tons of information on playing them. A lot of the points I'm going to bring up are described in detail in the article. I've got over 20 games with a tetrad under my belt, including 2 RTTs and 1 GT.

He should always be the warlord. The benefits are far to strong for him not to be. Take a lesser reward for the staff, as it will give him +2 STR, making him STR 9 vs targets.

Consider armor on this guy. The nurgle prince can jink for a 2+ naturally, but this prince is your 'weakest link'. Armor helps fix that.

Don't bother with skullreaver. In the article linked above I go into more detail on this, but the axe of khorne will do as good or better for cheaper in 96% of cases. It also lets you take the armor of skorn for 10 more points than warp forged armor. That's 10 points for Adamantite Will and effectively +1 toughness. Yes, please.

I suggest dropping the exalted here and grabbing two greaters. This lets you get the balesword, which is pretty boss. Find another way to grab a grimore or just leave it -- as you should not be needed it anyway.

When playing a tetrad, you will be starved for warp dice, as they need them all for self-buffing. Fatey get MUCH better the more dice you feed him, so he will be taking dice from the tetrad. If you are looking for something to add to the tetrad, look at Be'lakor -- who can give them all shrouding.

Not a bad call. What do you plan on summoning? He and the horrors will make 5 dice, which you can use every turn to make new models.

If you have shrouding up, you will be jinking on a 2+ anyway. If you are facing a shooty deathstar, they will just target something not grimoir'ed. The Grimore is just not as bad ass in this case.

Trust me when I say this is a bad use for him. You want the slaanesh prince killing 1 squad per turn with the rest of your guys. Lash is very underwhelming. Seven STR 7, AP- hits will kill ~2 MEQ a turn. In assault, the prince is killing a lot more.

As mentioned an Axe of Khorne is just as effective against knights. The balesword on nurgle prince also helps greatly here, as all those hits are ID. If you got Iron Arm, they are wounding on a 2+ with a reroll.
The STR 9 tzeentch prince can take down most armor, and he's what I throw at knights. The khorne prince really does well with the Axe of Khorne and Blade of Blood, and will rampage through enemy units. The nurgle prince is my ID machine and is usually my MVP. The Slaanesh prince is more likely to get in than the other princes with fleet -- and don't forget the rending HoW.

Thank you so much for this response I really appreciate it! Those points are very valid and I will definitely make changes to my Tetard list and thank you very much!

i agree with what labmouse said at most, i used a lot Sl DP as anti armor lash work fine if you get iron arm, you can kill pratically anything in the game, that is why he is last prince usually to go in glide mode.
