I've just got my rule book (not read it yet) but I know psychic is big and I'm looking forward to taking advantage of it. I've heard forewarning is still in so my screamer star should still work. So here's 1750pt daemons.

So that's 5 lvl3 psychers and one lvl4. So that's lots of power dice and 9 chances to get the 2+ rerollable invun.

Looking for cheesiest list possible already? Book just came out today...

I actually posted one previously in this thread.

You don't need Screamers you can summon them
You need to make your Pink Horrors provide 2 Warp Charges to make them worthwhile

The list is still mega cheese. Also if someone brought this list to summon massive numbers of demons I would not let them proxy their demons. If you're going to summon things out the wazoo better have the models as I have all the models I am bringing to the table.

Which means good luck spamming Bloodthirsters that retail for $60 each and no i won't let you proxy those broadsides for another bloodthirster.

It's ok I have 2 bloodthirsters I'm sure that will suffice. I wasn't thinking about summoning that much (haven't read the rules) more thing of lots of psychic shooting attacks and with fateweavers reroll hopefully I can mitigate any grimnore fails and perils.

Well you only perils on double 6s like fantasy! Also this list can do well against certain armies but against those with some psychic defense you'll do less and have to rely on your combat and shooting which isn't fantastic.

Not much to add...I Think the Horrors need to be 11+ to get the most out of them... I don't think its needed to summon big Demons, just bringing in lots of "troops" style demons should do the trick. Thinks like Slanesh, or Flesh hounds...more Horrors.

That plus 1 or 2 Demon Princes or Greaters should give a good result.

Don't forget that Fateweaver counts as two PML4 Psykers, which means he generates 8WC per phase.

Read his entry if you don't believe me, it's quite clear.

Unfortunately it says clearly in his entry " he only generates the Warp Charge points for a single Mastery Level 4 not to".

Blue Scribes are kind of broken right now though. They can get access to Sanctic and cast it automatically. Or become possessed by a Greater Demon.

But you only pass on 2 4+'s!

True! And they only deny on 6s! Psychic lists only fear fighting eldar or GK psychic spam.

It makes it harder to pass, so you have to use more dice, and then there is more chance of rolling double sixes...

Although, I probably will still do crazy stuff with my BA.

Really shouldn't worry to much about rolling double 6s, you still need to fail a LD test for anything to happen, not like in fantasy where it is over on a die roll.
