So the idea is that the prince runs around with a 2+ re-rollable armour save, the exalted sorcerers can harness telepathy on a 3+ so they hope for invisibility or shrouding and then they group up with the biked cabal who fish for electrodisplacement. The cultist then infiltrate/outflank up the board and then get swapped (using electrodisplacement) with the cabal and coven unit, while the knight wreaks havoc. The daemon prince'll be the warlord so warlord kill'll be a bit harder for the opponent. The exalted sorcerer's can also bombard the enemy with their lord of the silver tower rule for the first 3 turns and the cabal can do its trick of course. Oh, and the daemon prince can summon to make use of the new pink horror shenanigans.

What do you guys think? Is it strong enough to take on the current meta?

You've forgotten that you're alpha legion. Your opponent is never getting that warlord kill. Many heads of the Hydra!

No idea if your plan will work, but it Looks cool.

Ah that's right! I guess I can start one of my cultist champions as the warlord then!
