After playing my plague drone rush list for some time I've decided to give the flying circus a shot. Mine is a little modified and probably isn't the optimal build, but it still seems like fun. C&C appreciated!

Primary 1450
HQ 645
Lord of Change with ML 3, 2 Greater Rewards, 1 Lesser Reward 305
Daemon Prince of Slaanesh with Flight, Armour, ML 3, 1 Exalted Reward, 1 Greater Reward 340

Troops 270
Plaguebearers x10 90
Plaguebearers x10 90
Plaguebearers x10 90

Heavy Support 535
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch with Flight, Armour, ML 3, 2 Greater Rewards, 1 Lesser Reward 355
Soul Grinder of Nurgle with Phlegm Bombardment 180

Allies 400
Be'lakor 350
Chaos Cultists x10 50

The idea is to have Be'lakor cast invisibility on the Slaanesh DP who then uses the Grimoire of True Names on the Tzeentch DP, hopefully paired with Forewarning and Prescience from the LoC. Both Daemon Princes roll 3 times on Biomancy, ideally getting Iron Arm. By turn 2 Be'lakor and the DPs should be in combat with anything I need to swat down, working on the troops from there. Soul Grinder sits in the back field to help support the objective camping plaguebearers and cultists.

Not as well balanced as my previous list, but still looks fun to me.

For reference, this is what I usually run:

HQ 695
Lord of Change with ML 3, 2 Greater Rewards, 1 Lesser Reward 305
Herald of Tzeentch with ML 3, Exalted Locus, Exalted Reward 150
Herald of Tzeentch with ML 3, Exalted Locus 120
Herald of Tzeentch with ML 3, Exalted Locus 120

Troops 522
Pink Horrors x19 with Champion 176
Pink Horrors x19 with Champion 176
Pink Horrors x19 171

Fast Attack 448
Plague Drones x9 with Rot Proboscis, Champion, 1 Greater Reward 448

Heavy Support 180
Soul Grinder of Nurgle with Phlegm Bombardment 180

Not sure I would call your list a flying circus. You seem to be missing the best unit Daemons have, Fateweaver. I would swap the LOC out for him.

Really the best thing about Fateweaver is his reroll abilities. I think the Lord of Change is a huge BEATSTICK, he got even better in this edition than the last IMO. I like the list and would be curious to see how it does. The not auto reroll on the warp storm table could hurt you. What about taking both daemon princes Tzeentch and then you could take Be'lakor as your hq instead of ally? Just a thought
