This is an idea to abuse the super cheap divination access of tzeentch heralds. It takes daemons as primary (so we can take multiple heralds) and a selection of the best chaos units. The heralds give the cultusts 3++ saves. If shot the horrors go to ground for 2+ rerollable cover save. The obliterators can use book to have 2++ (with forewarning + book) and ignores cover and twin linked too (precognition).

1 word....forgefeind

they are broken with divination as their fire potential is so high they shoot 8 S8 ap4 each turn which is mitugated by bs3, give him rerolls and problem sovled

autogun cultists is a sad sad unit dont bother marking cultists its not worth the points, even if trying for 3++ which i dont think works as the book impoves demon saves only and cultists dont have the demon USR

Forge fiend would be pretty nice. The cultists don't use the book of true names, they use the divination power that gives them a 4+ invulnerable +1 for MoT (pretty much garuanteed to get it with 3 x lvl 3 psykers).

35 pistol cultists with storm shields for 5 points a model is scary in any list.

The book is saved for the likes of forgefiend or obliterators to give them 3++ or 2++ if you cast the 4+ invulnerable power from divination on them.

I play mono nurgle and miss the chance to abuse al this tzeentch trickery. Looks fun. Disheartening for the opponent though.

I cant complain though. My marines take some killing either way.

hellbrute maybe an idea, it sort of came to me that a cover ignoring plasma cannon is a bit of a douchy thing to have

forgefiend with the strength 8 plas man.

Hellbrute Ive found are never worth it.
