My current list is 1 Lord of change/fateweaver and 3 flying DP's and 40-60 horrors with 1 to 2 heralds based on points, the DP's are bullet magnets really, and I am thinking of trying out fateweaver for some mobile buffs debuffs, horrors are objective campers and quite a few shots each with prescience and s6 and blasted standards. Not sure how competitve it will be only played one game with them and done very well (would have tabled opponent conceeded turn 6).

Like what though? What lists really scare 7 FMCs? Even a heavy shooting lists would be lucky to ground one or two a turn. By turn 2 assaults should be happening and then it should be a matter of clean up from there. Fliers seem like they would be a total non issue at that point.
Nidzilla. One enfeeble on a DP, followed by a grounding test = dead DP.
Smash attacks on DPs = dead DPs. The swarmlord will kill a bloodthirster dead unless the bloodthirster gets an 'instant death' on the swarmlord.

Necron flyers will cause 7 FMCs problems. 6 scythes/3 annliation barges will be putting 36 STR 7 hits every round on your MCs. That's going to cause some DPs to die.

The army is also real weak in its troops. If your opponent focus's their attention on the troops you won't be able to pick up any relics, or hold any objectives. Your only hope to win is to table your opponent -- and that's never a game you want to be stuck in.

Try out the list and see. I would love to be proved wrong, as I have 4 DPs, 1 bloothirster, 1 lord of change, and 1 fateweaver model.

Seems like the Demons could cause similar issues to the Nidzilla list right? They likely have just as much if not more Psychic powers to throw at them too, although they will have to deal with perils at some point.

Heavy Cronair just doesn't seem to be that big of a threat, although of course that's easier said then done. Virtually no shooting in turn one should allow the Demons to get prime position, and you should be able to make short work of whatever meager board presence the Crons have, with so many points tied up in Planes.

You're right though, only time will tell. I just keep seeing people mention these assumed counters and was curios to see what exactly they had in mind.

Just like the naked daemons princes will be ignored. You're going to have a hard time spending points in a less useful way.

Def, I would not take naked prices all mine are flying with psyhic powers a lot of points but hey ho. I have played against a 50 blob with azreal at a tourny few weeks back I was the only person that didnt lose to him in 2 games we had, 6 games in total, why? because I ignored the blob until I had taken out thee rest of his army.

If I charge a tooled up DP or two into a blob my opponent will smile as that is the point of them, tarpitting
