Hey guys

A while back i posted my chaos daemons list and got some really good pro's and cons to what i had done, now i think ive cracked it, and im quite happy with it, but i just wanted to get some constructive critism!

Bloodthirster; Unholy Might, Blessing of the blood god

Herald of Tzeentch; Disc of Tzeentch, Breath of Chaos, Bolt of Tzeentch, We are Legion, Master of sorcery

Flamers of tzeentch x 6

Flamers of tzeentch x 6

Screamer of tzeentch x 9

Plague bearers x 5

Plague bearers x 5

Pink horrors x 5; Bolt of tzeentch

Pink horrors x 5; bolt of tzeentch

Daemon Prince; Daemonic flight, Iron hide, mark of nurgle, noxious touch, breath of chaos

TOTAL: 1497


Now my idea with this was to keep the herald with one of the flamers units, as they will both be jump infantry, and the we are legion will help to take out multiple threats, while also giving my herald a look out sir save.

i tried to keep my troop units to a minimum so that i can emphasise on more elites damage dealing units.

any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Swap the Hearld of Tz. out for the scribes. Theyre cheaper for everything they do. Plus another pavane makes nice for flame templates. Organize them nice and tight and the burn them.

Speaking of flamers. Yours playing them a bit off. Flamers are MSU of 3. Theyre suicide flamers, IE that means drop them near an hq or a tasty blob of termies and flame away. 3x bases are MUCH easier to fit in TIGHT spaces. Go big or go home!

Good point with the Scribes, I'd second that.

Have you seen the new rules for the flamers? Them and screamers just got a huge buff, with two wounds and at their new low points cost they're definitely worth it, especially with scribes or a herald to bounce wounds around with LoS. Alot of people are having success with the big units of flamers, especially because if you assault them their overwatch will butcher you.

@OP - I like the big unit of screamers, that'll be a good unit to bring down first. If you're giving the herald that many upgrades then xSoulgrinderx is right, you should just use the blue scribes, they're pretty much the same but cheaper and have pavane as well. Your troops are good for 1500, 4 min units should do just fine, just put your objectives behind BLOS terrain and you're sorted. How do you split the waves?

I think you have too many gifts on your herald as well, they can take at most 3 I believe and you have 4 on it. I concur about the Scribes, they are actually quite interesting to use now and I love the new model.

I like the idea of running larger Flamer units now. I might be tempted to cut the Daemon Prince at this level for a few more troops and another Herald to go with the other Flamer unit (and maybe make them 9 strong as well).
