I'm going to a tournament which restricts you to single factions and I thought I'd try out the new daemons.
I ran a similar list at 1000pts to great success so I'm trying to scale it up to 1500 and eventually 2000.
Chaos Daemons - 1500
Battalion - Chaos Daemons <Khorne>
Daemon Prince of Khorne - Wings, Talons
Bloodmaster (Herald on foot) - Relic: Crimson Crown
28 Bloodletters, Instrument, Icon
28 Bloodletters, Instrument, Icon
10 Bloodletters
Battalion - Chaos Daemons
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch - Wings, Talons
Fateskimmer (Herald on Disc)
21 Pink Horrors
10 Blue Horrors
3 Nurglings
3 Nurglings
6 Flamers
So... Its not a hard list to understand.
I have 9 CP which can ALL be spent prior to the first turn in order to deep strike both bloodletter squads with Banners of Blood, the Bloodmaster, the Pink Horrors and the Flamers. 120 WS2 (with rerolls) S6 AP3 attacks should make anyone tremble a bit - and its preceded by 60 S4 horror shots and 6 S5 flamers.
The Fateskimmer and Khorne Prince I think are fast enough to get in range of the Horrors/Flamers/Bloodletters when they come down to stack up the buffs, but the Bloodmaster needs to DS in.
My main concern is whether I have enough of an anchor on the board to weather the enemy's first round of shooting in case I get 2nd turn. My gut feel is that with infiltrating nurglings and horrors I can protect the important buff characters enough - if not, then I can leave either a full squad of bloodletters or horrors behind on the board to provide some extra wounds.
I also am lacking in much anti-air - though I rarely face multiple flyers it does suck when you end up not being able to do anything.
I'm not sure who my warlord would be - there are arguments to be made for all the characters and a few different warlord traits.
What do you think? DO you have an army that you don't think would be scared to face up against this?
C&C welcome.
