Hey guys, so I've recently bought Magnus and a renegade knight and am trying to squeeze them both into a 1750 list for the Warhammer GT heats. Plan is to use knight as a huge distraction for Magnus and T'Sons to get in their faces. This is the list that I'm thinking of running. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I could also run the knight with some dakka although I'd have to start taking out some Daemon princes etc.

Seems like an all in/ all out army to me, against some armies it just won't work, in other matches it will be a real tough opponent. Maybe you could go for a full nurgle battalion, 1 Poxbringer, 1 Scrivener, 3x2 Nurglings mean 253 pts spent, you have room for 24 plaguebearers. They might be useful to better screen your characters, defend objectives etc...
otherwise you might squeeze in an Alpha Legion Battalion with Sorcerer, Dark Apostle and 10+10+30 cultists, so you can use the big unit as if they were Nurglings if you need to, or just protect the Knight and the Characters

Yeah i think it'd have a hard time against some lists maybe just a load of nurglings and a poxbringer might work well. I'm reluctant to drop the skullreaver DP. He always seems such a bargain for what he can do... How useful are the alpha legion cultists? Are they a useful anti infantry or just cheap screen?

So thinking about it the khorne DP needs to go so i can fit the bare minimum of screen in there. I think I'm going to keep it Tzeentch. I think Pink Horrors with Changeling are pretty tough with 4++/6+++. Plus they'll get the reroll 1s from Daemon Princes

I think it'll look something like this. What thoughts do you have on psychic powers? Was thinking Magnus can do a bit of character sniping if it's on the cards but maybe use something else?
