Does anyone actually ever use undivided lesser daemons or are they just not really great? Just curious.

If you are talking about normal CSM not chaos daemons then i have and they are great but if you talking about chaos deaons then no and i have no idea

In the CSM army lists, I see them used quite frequently. They make fantastic objective takers, being a farily inexpensive Troop unit, plus they do fairly well in assault, each effectively being an Assault Marine with a different save for far fewer points.

Locally, I see more folk take units of 10, but I'd be curious to see units of 20 to see just how nasty they could be on an assault.

They are good for allowing Chaos non-troops to hold objectives by proxy.

In units of 16+, lesser daemons can take on almost anything--terminators, giant ork mobs--as long as they get the charge, and just grind away until they win. But packs of 12 or less can't put out enough attacks to win assaults on their own.

I usually run a squad or two of lesser demons and Have found them to be very effective if used correctly.

Cool, thanks.
