As in the title, I want to put together a tzeentch daemons list. I have a 750 points list but I need help improving it and upping it to 1000 and 1500 points.

CAD:

HQ:
- Herald of Tzeentch - Ml3, Disc of Tzeentch, Exalted Locus of Conjuration, The Everstave, Exalted Reward (Grimoire) - 195

Troops:
- Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (12) - 108
- Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (11) - 99
- Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (11) - 99
- Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (11) - 99

Fast Attack:
- Screamers of Tzeentch (6) - 150

--750

The herald will of course be joining the screamers and probably going on malefic in an attempt at getting cursed earth. How can I improve this list and how can I bump up the points. I would like to keep to a primarily tzeentch army with a focus on summoning but I'm not opposed to mixing in other gods.

You can't have both the Everstave and Grimoire on the same model because you can only have 1 Hellforged Artifact per model.

You have too many pink horrors. They don't really do a lot except make warp charges but Tze Heralds are better at making warp charges (because you get 3 for 90 pints and you get 3 psy powers) so drop it down to 2 units

Just take more screamers, heralds, and Fateweaver

The most logical growth is to go into a warphost formation and burning skyhost formation.

I would suggest buying 4 flaming chariot next. That will give you the following
* 4 Exalted Flamers
* 8 Horrors (rather small, but still playable)
* 4 Heralds with or without disc
* 8 Screamers (without tails)

Since each screamer box has a few extra tails, you should already have enough to finish up the screamer bodies.

I actually think you get 12 Horrors out of that. There are 3 per box, so that a whole unit right there.

I agree with CrownAxe. Drop 1-2 of those Horror units and add more Screamers and another Herald on Disc. Try to get a Paradox on the other Herald as it guarantees Summoning on 5 dice.

12? Even better!

Like I said, they are shorter, about 60% the height of a normal horror. Think of them like the Tyrion Lannister of horrors.
Damn. Now that I said that I'm going to have to use a mini-horror to model a herald named Tyrion.

Damn, just realised that the grimoire and the ever-stave clashed; I thought I could have both but I have just checked. Damn. Ok how about this?:

CAD:

HQ:
- Heralds
-- Herald of Tzeentch - Ml3, Disc of Tzeentch, Exalted Locus of Conjuration, Exalted Reward (Grimoire) - 175
-- Herald of Tzeentch - Ml2 - 70
-- Herald of Tzeentch - Ml2 - 70

Troops:
- Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (15) - 135
- Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (15) - 135

Fast Attack:
- Screamers of Tzeentch (6) - 150

--735

Same idea as before with the Ml3 herald on disc joining the screamers. The Ml2 footslogging heralds will each be joining a unit of horrors. Is this better or worse? What other changes should I make? What should I spend the remaining 15 points on?

You might as well bump a pink horror squad to 16 to get that 3rd warp charge from them

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure if there was a better option. Maybe put a "sergeant" (can't remember what they're called right now) in the horror squads to give the heralds some protection from challenges?
