Decided to hit up fantasy again after seeing the upcoming reintroduction of the Old World.
Had a little tinker around with Daemons since my friend has a huge collection of them and the book seems interesting. Nothing too competitive here, just something different.
The crux of the strategy is essentially tying up the opponents army with the plaguebearer proxy deathstar and then spamming damage spells from the lore of nurgle with my prince while using the relatively unreliable lore attribute to keep the bearers fresh. I like the synergy of this list as almost every single spell in lore of nurgle is applicable here: 3++ plaguebearers? 5+ poison? T5-7 plaguebearers? Yes please. Fingers crossed Curse of the Leper and the Withering, really intending for the prince to be the main damage dealer of this list and those two spells will turn his rancid visitations and stream of corruption into absolute worldbeaters. Slaaneshi elements are there to provide a battery for some shadow magic and for fast flanking to break ranks, also monster deletion with the daemonettes. Rot flies are a solid combat unit in basically every situation and I wanted another reliable combat unit. Its a thin list thats easy to outmaneuver but hey, I'm not gonna be taking it to any tournaments any time soon

Tomb Kings, Beastmen and Slayer-based Dwarfes are the likely opponents I will end up fighting with this list

Any DoC players, lemme know what you think! (Was considering having the entire list instead be focused around a Slaanesh DP caster spamming cacophonic choir and slicing shards with Nurgle heralds with death to drop LD but the damage output is way less consistent and it relies a lot on picking up Doom and Darkness. i may go back to this considering the amount of fun you can have with the Lore of Slaanesh tho).
