I am coming back to the game after a bit of a break. I am looking to build a shooting focused DG list. Please take a look and let me know what you think about it or where it could be improved or more efficient.

Thanks for taking a look.

Good I guess. Seems like every other DG list I've read lately though. A few Death Stars. I'd say not enough troops or scoring units.

Not fan of kheres; other unit configulation choices look fine.

You really need to make a minimium batallion.

I've come to the same conclusion about the kheres. Initially, I thought it would be a good anti-horde option but it's too short ranged. The double butcher is much more efficient.

I'm not a huge fan of any of the DG troop choices. PMs die too easily, DG cultists aren't worth 5 points and pox walkers need the list to focus on them to be effective. I have another version of the list that drops the armigers in favor of a Nurgle daemon detachment with PBs and Nurglings. I haven't play tested it yet.
