I've gotten some feedback from various people about my Tzeentch list, and have refined it to the following:

It has 1 Supreme Command detachment and 2 Battalions for a total of 10 CP.

It basically plays like a beta strike list - You have a "gunline" in the flamers + smite spam, and some heavy hitters in CC with the DPs, Magnus, and the Herald on Chariot.

Heralds, Changeling, DPs, and Blue Scribes all provide support. What do you guys think?

I like your list. It looks pretty gross with as many princes will be flying around Magnus. You could also look into Malefic Lords as they are dirt cheap and could net another CP in their own detachment. Another suggestion would be switching out Diabolic Strength for Death Hex. I personally get more use out of Death Hex instead because against most things, Magnus will wound on 2s anyways due to T9/10 being fairly uncommon (Though the plus 1 attack is nice). I'd be very interesting in hearing how it plays on the table top.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've been considering Malefic Lords but have been shying away because I reckon they're going to get nerfed sometime sooner or later. They're also not very Tzeentchy! =D

Roger that on Death Hex, I'll definitely give it a shot.

Very nice list, I run something pretty close to this

Ahriman on disk
Scarab occult
Changling
5 squads of horrors (1 blue 11 brim)
4 exalted flamers
3 princes w wings and talons
Magnus

Why are you taking the 1 blue in the unit? If it is for smite, I am pretty sure it was FAQ'ed that the unit needs to be all blues in order to cast.

I believe they can still cast smite it’s just 1MW not the D3

Why take a single blue?

Brimstones auto die when they cast. taking one blue alleviates this risk.

^ As described, if you choose a Brimstone Horror as the "focus" for casting Smite, it dies. a Blue will not.

I've been enjoying this list a lot... Honestly, I think it would be stronger if I took 2 Malefic Lords over the Herald of Tzeentch, but I can't bring myself to be such a meta slave and break the nice Tzeentch daemons theme I have going on right now...

Curious. Have you tried the burning chariot? I see alot of exalted flamers and figured if there was a reason for those over the chariot?

Exalted Flamers have the character rule. Chariots, however, do not.
