I've been wanting to field my Cabal and Tetrad for a while, so figured why not try both at once? Here's the list I came up with:

Infernal Tetrad:

Khorne: Armour of Scorn, Flight, 2x Greater Reward
Nurgle: Flight, Armor, ML 3, 2x Greater Reward
Slaanesh: Flight, Armor, ML 2, Greater Reward
Tzeentch: Flight, Impossible Robe, ML 3, 2x Greater Reward

Cyclopia Cabal:

3x ML 1 Sorcerer on Bike, Force Sword, 1 with Melta Bombs (Had 5 points left over)

Okay, so first thing I think about when I look at this list is that it's only 7 models, and they pretty much all stick to themselves. That doesn't seem to be a problem for the Daemon Princes, but probably will be one for the Sorcerers. They will have to stick to cover or try to boost out of range as often as possible. This is likely going to be a kind of "Shriek City" list, but that puts the sorcerers in a very dangerous place, and leaving them as ML 1 makes me feel like they're really not going to pull much weight, but I could be wrong. 85 points for a mobile Shriek platform might not be that bad. But maybe I would be better suited running a small CAD of my Nurgle daemons instead of the Cabal. Unfortunately, Nurgle daemons are my only options at this point, I don't really have much else in the way of daemons, just a unit of flamers right now. Plus the Tetrad takes up 1240 as-is in this list, so whatever I put in has a cap of 260 points.

So I turn to you for opinions! Weaknesses, strengths, changing around gifts/ML on the DP's, what do you see?

Your Cabal is bad because you are forgetting that you don't cast Shriek with a single WC die (unless you think a 50% success rate is good). So your 260 pt investment is only going to get you you a single Psychic Shriek reliably (assuming it doesn't die because they are 3 very easy to kill models by them selves)

Plus you were already skimping on the Slaanesh Prince who should also be ML3, 2x Greater Rewards. (in fact its the most important on him. because of Lash of Submission and getting Iron Arm).

So what you should do is take an Allied detachment for a single Lv3 sorcerer with a Spell Familiar, some cultists for the troop choice, and buy your DPoS ML3 and a 2nd Greater Reward
