Starting up Chaos Daemons again after a few months absence, trying out a list around Tzeentch and Khorne. So here it is..

HQ:
Kairos Fateweaver - 300

Herald of Tzeentch; Exalted Locus of Conjuration; Psyker Level 2 (Join Horrors 1) - 95

Herald of Tzeentch; Greater Locus of Change; Psyker Level 2 (Join Horrors 2) - 90

Herald of Tzeentch; Lesser Locus of Transmogrification; Psyker Level 2 (Join Horrors 3) - 85

Troops:
Pink Horrors of Tzeentch x16 - 144 (432)
X3

Fast Attack:
Flesh Hounds of Khorne x10 - 160

Heavy Support:
Soul Grinder; Phlegm Bombardment; Daemon of Tzeentch - 170 (340)
X2

There she is. Don't know if the Soul Grinders should be of Khorne or Tzeentch and what discipline Fateweaver should take. Anyways, any thoughts, suggestions, criticisms? Thanks!

First off I would certainly include the grimoire of true names for that 3++ on the hounds or 2++ rerollable on fateweaver. I'd say drop the units of horrors to 11 and try and get another unit of hounds. Atm your list lacks the ability to deal much damage. For the grinders if your not adverse to using other gods have one (or both) grinders with mark of slaanesh and torrent to run up with the rest of your force alternatively have one slaanesh grinder and another nurgle grinder with phlegm sitting back field as a bodyguard for horrors. If your ever increase the points level add in some daemon princes either of slaanesh or tzeentch.

So how would i go about increasing the damage output of army a lot more?

As I said soul grinders moving up, more flesh hounds hitting simultaneously with the other squad and daemon princes.

Should I put more hounds into that squad or split into two squads?

I would split into 2 if you went to larger points then have one squad of 15-20 with a herald of khorne of a juggernaut. If you do I would definitely suggest a large mob of seekers but this is assuming you don't mind breaking from the tzeentch khorne theme.

Oh by the way welcome to dakka dakka

I am not really familiar with what the Grimoire of True Names does. I am sorry I do not have my codex atm. Also when you say bring horrors down to 11. Do you mean all 3 squads?

I would advise to do so but I've only just started to use daemons competitively so I have yet to playtest it. The grimoire improves the invulnerable save of a target daemon unit by +2 on a 3+ on a D6 meaning that most daemon units gain a 3+ invulnerable save. Units with a 4+ or targets of forewarning gain a 2+ invulnerable save and tzeentch units reroll 1's meaning a 2+ rerollable save.

Thanks for the help! I shall try the list out and see how it goes.

No problem!
