I posted this to welcome critics and fellow generals to help me find flaws in my ever Chaotic endevors. ANY comments and suggestions are welcome as I will take them to heart. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318286.page GMT MoS, wings and lash cost 165pts and is better than a sorcerer. if you must take sorcerers dont bother giving them warp time and a familiar. it just makes them cost to much and 4 WS5 S4 attacks, even if they re-roll to hit and wound, isnt great. i also thing 2 HQ choices is 1 too many for such a small game. if you took a single demon prince you could give your plague marines some plasma guns and come champions with power fists or add another oblit.

appart from that it looks pretty good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318345.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318349.page GMT The reason behind this use of sorcerers is that while they can be instant killed they can't be targeted seperately. And having two lashes in such a small game provides great crowd control, esp. against orks and tyranids.
Once again thanks for the comments, any one else?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318464.page GMT DPs if you want Lash-users. Lash is NOT good crowd control against hordes, because chances are they'll have far too many for your tiny army to shoot down. All you'll do is pull them into assault range so those Boyz can F-Charge you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318561.page GMT
against other armies you change tactics. your demon princes run forward and lash things towards your army so it can be shot at and then charged by your princes. plaguemarines can take a charge better than any unit in the game and demon princes are exellent counter charge units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/318646.page GMT
The question I have is if the deamon princes are a better fit to the list than the sorcerers? I just feel as though the survivability of DPs is alot lower than that of sorcerers because they can be targeted seperatly even when close to other units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/319831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/319831.page GMT
is sorcerers were significantly cheaper then DPs then i would probably suggest those in smaller games, but since theyre about the same cost, DPs are far far better. they actually wont die as fast as you think, are faster and kill more stuff in combat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/319908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/319908.page GMT But other then that how will the unit hold up agianst dread bash, termie armies or Nidzilla? Basicly I dont know if your 2 high powered weapons and melta bombs will be enouph. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/320115.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/320115.page GMT DPs and Sorcerers. But what are peoples opinion of Nurgle Dps?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/320154.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213612/320154.page GMT DP btw. i don't know about the other gods (as i am dedicated to slaanesh ) but the slaanesh mount (making the model count as cavalry) gives the ability to sprint instead of shooting + a 12" attack range.
so when it comes to getting into CC the sorcerer can easily outrun the DP (at least on open ground).

furthermore i dont really get why everyone should take DP's. with the psi-weapons that have instant kill ability sorcerers are not as useless as everyone says, but the familliar really is a waste, as well as warptime, since you will be lashing or using the psi-weapon.
with the new rules i think the sorcerer is even better as it's not that big, keeping in mind that with 5th ed the real LoS counts(!). i don't know about your DP's but i won't be able to hide mine behinde a land raider... while my sorcerer on steed can easily be hidden behind a rhino.

one more thing get some nice guns for your plague marines. dropping the useless warptime on both sorcs and the familiar you should be able to get those squads 2 melters each, giving you some decent bit of firepower against tanks/MC's.
