So I'll be participating in a friendly tournament next week. The tournament is pretty low-level, skills-wise, a lot of the players are relatively new, having only a few weeks worth of experience, and I'm not expecting to see any hyper-competitive lists. Tourny restrictions include only one flyer per army (sans FMC's, you may have two per army). The majority of the other armies are Space Marines and Imperial Guard. There might be a couple of Necron, Tau and Eldar armies, though not many.

My list:

Fateweaver
Lord of Change; Mastery Level 3, Grimoire
20xPink Horrors
20xPink Horrors
16xPink Horrors
18XSeekers
17xSeekers

1500

My general game-plan is to start two of the horror squads, a seeker squad and the two HQ's on the field, pushing one blob up to the midfield with the LoC while the smallest one hangs in the backfield with Fatey and a Seeker squad to run interference against deep-strikers. The bigger seeker squad and the third horror blob will DS in my opponents' backfield and cause some havoc, and by turn 3 I'll start edging the second seeker squad up field to keep the pressure on.


Any criticisms or critiques? The LoC is my only real source of anti-tank, but I'm putting money on the idea of simply ignoring armor as much as I can. High-strength, Low-RoF weapons are almost useless against this army, so the only thing I'm really afraid of are things like Wyverns, which'll put a ton of wounds on my squishy daemons.

Can I advice that you get heralds for your seekers and give them the locus of grace because your seekers at the moment will take lots of casualties due too dangerous terrain. A smart player will tie you up in terrain so that when you pile in you take dangerous tests.

I would advice making the horror squads smaller an having 2 heralds of slaneesh with locus of grace on seekers one with portal and other with grimnore then with spare points use your LoC as a daemon prince with wings if you can fudge the points. This will make your grimnore much more survivable as its hidden in a unit. Also it makes your seekers far more deadly.

If you want to use lots of squads, then this is not a bad suggestion (as much as I am loathe to admit it, as I much prefer LoC over heralds in usual lists).

Personally I'd drop one of the seeker squads. They need the grimoire to be effective, and if you are running fateweaver and 2 squads then you will leave two vulnerable targets per turn.
Take a Tzeentch Prince with the grimoire, and then get a slaanesh herald with move through cover.
To finish off I'd get a tzeentch herald with +1 str shooting and the portal. (Some horros or a seeker or 2 will heave to be removed to allow for points).
