Khorne Herald gets the axe for str 7 for chariots and killing trees yeah its a liablity against high elves with dragon armor but ok

Nurgle Herald with banner of sundering for anti magic and the staff of nurgle for a little bit more magic punch and since this unit is pretty slow and some players avoid it like the plague so noxious vapors isn't as useful., sometimes it actually gets through with the 2 level 2s and horror magic

2 tzeench heralds with master of sorcery to pick spells for the situation beast cowers is pretty darn good sometimes. one has dispel scroll and other has flight to get in a better position

Plague bearers are the rock nurgle herald goes here

2 horror units for heralds to go in flying herald goes in the small group

2 chaos fury units for screening march blocking seige machine killing

10 flesh hounds for some calvary friend said to go one big unit of 10 instead of 2 units of 5

the flamers everyone hates

beasts of nurgle because they just are really tough

What you think?

Might split hounds into two groups of 5.

Also was told to add Bloodletters for more punch instead of horrors.

The horrors add to the magic nicely, it depends on how much destruction you can wreak with the spells.
Two groups of five flesh hounds is better since they are two targets and one can get on the flank while the other goes up the middle. On the other hand, nothing stands up to ten flesh hounds.
I have a question though; can you actually give a gift to the battle standard if he has an icon? I thought that was forbidden like BSBs taking magic items with a magic banner.

Yeah I was thinking 2x5 hounds but the 10 dragon princes worked nicely when I was playing high elves.

Yeah you can give the BSB gifts. Don't think they count as magic items.

Any other comments?

How do you plan to deal with the ever so popular lord on dragon? Personally if myarmy hadeffective ways to deal with them I would certainly take it.

Well I do have two heralds who can take beasts for beast cowers to deal with a dragon. Otherwise can kill it with combined charges. Trying to avoid using a greater daemon because it is a comp tourney. Debating getting Bloodletters which hit pretty hard but die pretty easily.

Correct, they're not magic items.
They're a little more complicated, as they more function as an upgrade for the Daemon instead.

I would seriously recommend taking a Greater Deamon though. A Keeper of Secrets would actually be a good choice, as it can kill R&F and not many people would kill your comp for taking him/her/it. I think without it, you might have some serious trouble with the double dragon lists.

How do you recommend equiping the Keeper?
Would have buy and paint up a Keeper, only have Bloodthirster and Lord of Change.

also what to cut for greater demon cost

I have 2 x beast cowers with heralds with master of sorcery so

personally if i was going to a tourny with daemons i would work in Fateweaver, in fantasy he is so hard its not even funny

Well tournament does not allows special characters and Fateweaver is a huge hit on your comp but yeah he is awesome until Teclis casts pit of shades on him and he dies.
