So with the new demon dex out I think all the tools are there to make an anti-meta list that can compete. Nurgle and Tzeentch, despite the fluff, complement each out very well style wise and I think the combo of the two will be key. I think all the pieces are there but I'm having a hard time organizing them. Gameplan is for the horrors, change caster, DP, flamers, sorc, and oblits deepstrike together on a flank to dominate. then my anvil of plague drones, nurgle DP, and flesh hounds charge up the center. Cultists, apostle, and nurglings grab objectives. Please let me know both what you think and thanks ahead of time.

I am thinking tzeentch + oblits could still be decent with the +1 to wound power . Really have to weigh that against the slaanesh double tap strat.
Shame about the changling. Still an OK unit tho.

Lord for rerolls to hit might bring more than the apostle.

Using up 7CP before the game begins means you need a very specific game plan for your 3 remaining CP. Possession from Daemons is a great one to keep ready (I can't wait to use that against a GKSS or GMDK).
What else are you gonna spend them on?

And what powers do your DP and Tzerald have? Fires and Fate?

I'm looking at 5 CP for drops. 2 for the Tzeentch DP, 1 for the horrors, and 1 for the flamers and 1 for the herald unless you see the math different.

In terms of other CP use definitely possession (love that strategem) and likely warp surge for the horrors on their drop turn. Rest are likely re-rolls.

Yes, for powers flames, fate, and likely boon between the herald and DP. Likely miasma on the nurgle.
