Idea is occults start on board and are dark mattered into a key position to eliminate screens / chaffe. Leviathan and contemptor move up with jump lord. Poxwalkers do their thing. Foul blightspawn is hidden in Poxwalkers. Basically I took him because I fully expect a Culexus and want to be able to ignore the 6+ to hit. Terminator sorc and blightlords land within 18" of a target that needs deleted and are presciened by Ahriman. Typical psychic shenanigans follow with the rest of his and the princes spells. I did temper one of the princes to specialize in melee. Both have talons.

Thoughts and criticism are welcome. I have really struggled to make a 2k list I like. I really wanted to make abbadon work but i felt like it wasnt enough bang for my buck with only owning 30 cultists.

I like the list above but I think you're a little light on screen for those 1k son characters. I'd drop the foul blightspawn and take more poxwalkers. If you face a culexus you can just tarput him in poxwalkers and ignore him. With tgeir +1 to hit they'll also have a decent chance of hurting him with them.

I use 10 SOTs with dmc in my 2k list. They work really well. Abadon can work well with big blobs of marines too if you take 30 cultists and 20 marines you'll get more out of him. Plus I think he's decent in a daemon engiene list.

Yeah I was more concerned about killing the culexus than tying him up as the -2 to psychic abilities is kind of brutal to this list. But I see your point in lacking screens. Maybe ill cut back on a terminator and just do bolters on the terminators and not the soulcannon

I've played Ahriman and friends lots of tournaments. The culexus really isn't that bad, you can generally play around his 18" aura when everyone has fly 12". Plus I've noticed a lot less people bringing them since faq as ORS is now 2cp.

20 poxwalkers with putresent vitality and VotLW will still kill him. I use plaguebearers with scrivener in the same way.

Good to know. Didnt know it is 2CP now. Thanks for the advice
