Hello, Dakka!

Above is a WIP ITC 1850 Magnus/Daemons List I am working on.

Currently, this sits in at 20WC.

Slightly more than that when you take Siphon Magic and summons into account.

General idea for deployment:

Blue Horrors are placed behind the ADL, and exist as 2WC Batteries and to sit behind on an objective with a 2+ Cover re-rolling 1s by going to ground. They never need to leave that area.

Magnus, Fateweaver and the LOC deploy within the Void Shield to survive if I do not have turn one. Lord of Change will either run Paradox or Impossible Robes. Robes if I want him to be more of a gunboat, Paradox if I want him to focus on summoning alongside Magnus.

I was torn between this or the Rehati War Sect, but I feel like this, while having less offense, has more defense to withstand aggression.

C/C Plenty welcome, thanks for looking!

I'd definitely go for the robes. It's too good not to. Not to mention the LoC is the only Assault deterrent/roadblock you have in this sort of list to keep even the likes of assault marines from getting to the oh so squishy backlines. Magnus can obviously hold his own in combat, but except for a very select list of targets, he'll never make use of his full potential there. You almost always want him in the air summoning and casting as many of the nasty witchfires he has as possible. Along those lines, I'd drop the brimstones for another greater and a Lesser on the LoC.

The spells magnus has can only let him summon 1 unit chariot/flamers or did I miss something

Summoning chariots on a 2+ is really good tho.

yeah. its just the way you guys were saying it he had a ton of them to do that was all

Yeah. I swapped Paradox for Robes, and a lesser for the Staff of Change. Make him into more of a beat stick.

Thanks for the feedback!
