Hello Dakka. I have saved some money and Im looking at slowly building a daemons list that is competitive enough for local tournaments. I don't want to take scream star, but im not above taking Fateweaver with the Grim . Im looking to make a balanced list. Im left with 40 points. The grim and portal are on the DP. Here it is:

HQ:
Fateweaver-300

Herald of Khorne- 135
-Juggernaut
-1x Lesser
Locus of wrath

Troops-
10x Plague Bearers-90
10x Plague Bearers-90

Fast Attacks:
20x Fleshhounds-320

HS:
1x Soul Grinder-180
-nurgle
-Bomb

Daemon Prince of Tzeentch - 345
-wings
-level 3
-armor
-2x lesser rewards
1x greater rewards

Total: 1460

Not bad but think about some pink horrors. They are really cheap and can do a lot in game. Exspecially with enemy infantry. Maybe add herald of Tzeentch and give him some more spells and artifact instead of putting lots of points into DP that will be primary target with Kairos.

Ummm....the Portal and Grim cannot be on the prince as you have him. They require purchasing exalted rewards, and you can only every have one on any model.

The issue I have with the list overall is that you really only have 3 killy units (Hounds, Grinder, Prince.).

I would look to drop to 15 Dogs, and take another herald of khorne for an exalted reward.. Probably drop some goodies off the prince (maybe make him level 2).

I'm also not in the Need Fateweaver camp especially at this point level.

You would probably be better off running a flying circus with a bunch of cheap DP, at 1500pts no one (other then taudar/eldar) has enough AA to kill them all before they get assaulted/vector striked off the table.

I second this.

Yeah but the first list (with a few tweaks) is much scarier to Tau and Eldar. Seeing as these are some of the toughest nuts to crack, it seems wise to me to invest some thought into a list similar to what he has.

To OP: I run something similar, but rather than the prince I take a diet Screamerstar: 2 Tz'eralds and 7 Screamers. This unit totes around the grim and portal and provides some respectable dakka.
Goes something like this:

Fatey: 300
Tz'erald: 175
ML3, Disc, Exalted Locus (+1S Psychic Shooting), Exalted Rewarded
Tz'erald: 150
ML3, Disc, Exalted Rewarded
Kh'erald: 130
Juggernaut, Greater Locus (+2A on Charge), Lesser Reward

10 Horrors: 90
10 Horrors:90

7 Screamers
10 Hounds
13 Hounds

If you have 1st turn, both unit of Hounds scout forward with grimoire and Kh'erald going into the big squad. Now here's the beauty of it: the enemy is forced to focus down your super killy unit of dogs with the herald (and trust me it's tough to take out 26 3++ wounds) Once they do this you are free to join the Herald to the other unit and go to town. Screamers run around doing their screamer thing, you're heralds throw prescience like candy and will generally put out 5-6 D6 of S6 dakka every turn and Fatey vector strikes and shoots.
