Hey all,

I am new to Daemons, I have never even played up against them. A friend and I are pooling our efforts to make a big 4k point daemon list. We decided the best way to do this was split up the different gods and go from there. I got Nurgle and Slaanesh.

So my goal here is to get some insight on how to build a decent Nurgle/Slaanesh army that is capable to beat the other 2 gods. I feel the best way to do this is list what i have and talk about whats good versus whats complete and udder noobishness. Now its not against our rules to use the other gods, but id prefer not to for now, I really want to use a fateweaver and pink horrors eventually.

Also, we are considering any GD model to be whatever we want, not really worries about WYSIWYG yet.
So here is what i have so far:

HQ's
Nurgle DP
FW Keeper of Secrets
Masque of Slaanesh
Be'lakor
Nurgle Herald

Troops:
10 Plaguebearers
3 Nurglins
10 Deamonettes

Fast Attack:
6 Plague Drones

LOW:
Knight Palladin (Unmade so i can mark it as whatever)

Now for stuff i have already that doesnt fit those gods....
10 Bloodletters
3 BloodCrushers
10 Pink Horrors

I know i need quite a bit more but thats my goal. I need to find out what to buy next.

I'll tell you right now to mark the Knight as Khorne. I know you wanna keep it to those other two, but MoK is sooooooo much better.

I dont think i want this guy in CC though. I have no range without any soulgrinders.

Honestly, with the knight if you just slap marks/bits from all chaos gods on it, you can call it whichever one you want, or run it as a renegade knight if you need to. Tzeentch is nice for re-rolling the invul save, Khorne is nice for the stomps, Nurgle is nice because you get defensive grenades (another ranged weapon, lol) and slaanesh gives fleet.

Soul grinders are crappy ranged support anyway, they have 13 front armor and 4 attacks, they are beasts! The S10 gun on bs3 is a sham, and the blast is OK, but the torrent flamer is awesome!

Why not grab some seekers or chariots? You could also look at getting the models to do a formation from curse of the wulfen.

Just ordered some seekers. I think i may run the Slaanesh formation since Tallyband is used by another player in our meta.
