Hey guys, this is the 1500 point deamon list that I have been working on, and if I get the go ahead from the community, I may enter it into a local tournament. Anyway, here is the list, Please feel free to criticise and comment as you see fit:

I personally would trade out one LoC for a Lash Prince (some measure of Storm Raven insurance, plus access to Telepathy and Biomancy, giving you more buff/debuff options), and consider dropping the Screamers for Hounds or Seekers. I don't really rate Screamers, except as an escort for Heralds. Especially in a small group like that.

I also personally prefer Horrors to PBs, but don't think there's a "right" choice there.

I also think, when running two Grinders, you should go One Slaneesh (with Torrent), one Nurgle. Slaede breaks down the reasons why pretty well

I too am thinking about the switch from Phlegm to Torrent, but I think that the anti MEQ capabilities of the Phlegm Bombardment make it much more Versatile, does the Torrent take on the Rending Quality of the Slannesh Deamon, if so then it is more considerable... I am set on keeping the two Lords of Change as I find that they work very well.

I am not really very sure about the Screamers either but I had a Spare 100 points at the End of Writing this, possibly more after switching out the Torrent for the Phlegm, I was thinking of perhaps a small unit of Hounds or better a 10man unit of Slannesh Seekers, if I then switch out the Plauge's for Pink Horrors, then I would have a Slannesh/Tzeentch army?

You're Daemons, what do you care about MEQ? You have Daemonettes and Vector Strikes, Marine's aren't a problem. Now mass Firewarriors/Kroot with an Etherial (pulse bomb is super good), hordes in general, and Eldar pseudo rending, those are issues. Torrent Grinders eat them up. Plus you can use the Slaneesh Grinder to generate cover saves for the Nurgle Grinder, they're an awesome pair.

It is currently unknown if the rending transfers over (same for the Lash Prince), most play it as if it does not, but YMMV.

Hounds and Seekers are both awesome, imo. I prefer Hounds for the t1/t2 assault (rather than t2/t3 of Seekers) and the durability. But both have their place. To plug myself, here is my 1500 pt list in action (and a good example of the value of Hounds and Daemonettes).

Lords of Change are awesome, not debating that. You're not wrong to run 2, I just prefer having access to more psychic trees (and the Lash is amazing anti flier)
