It seems like he's only a very small point increase for a lot of benefits over the Sorcerer.

He's a MC which is both good and bad in some respects.

I am mainly asking because I am throwing together a Slannesh-only list, and want a Sorcerer in it, but it may be worth my while to go to the Prince.

2 WS 1 BS 2 S 1 T 1 W 1 A over the Sorcerer stats, as well as MC, Eternal Warrior, Fearless, only for 10 points more? Is there something I'm missing?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680255.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680273.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot DP is really undercosted for his options and statline.

Blame Gav Thorpe for sucking all the fun out of the codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680277.page GMT Re:Chaos HQ Slot DP. If you think/know that your opponent will be fielding low to moderate amounts of AT weapons the prince (or two) is the better buy because it/they can just suck up the fire while laying the hurt down. If you know/think that there is going to be a lot of AT on the table take the sorcerer. The sorcerer with a moderate un-geared retinue is easier to hide in cover than the DP and will be able to soak up heavy weapons better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680543.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680543.page GMT Re:Chaos HQ Slot

I almost never shoot a DP except with anti-infantry fire, and I never shoot it unless I think I can down it in one turn of shooting. Bolters kill non-nurgle DPs really well, and the nurgly ones are quite susceptible to anti-tank firepower.

It really depends on whether or not you want another unit for your opponent to worry about. An IC in a squad will likely live longer, but the DP is a whole separate unit that can fight and kill things on its own, but is honestly not all that durable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/680674.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/681085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/681085.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/681464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/681464.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot DP is the much better choice.
However, in games at the 2000 pt level or higher, the enemy can eventually bring some heavy guns to bear that can easily kill the DP. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683153.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot DP configs, and only one good Sorcerer config though.

Lash Prince - Obviously, a DP with lash and wings. He's tough and boobly.

The other builds involve either MoN or MoT and Warptime, and if Tzeentch, then add Wind of Chaos for extra awesome. It's debateable if 4+ Inv or T6 is better for staying alive.

For sorcerers, you are pretty much only good taking the lash sorc, or Fzorgleorcerer. The only problem here is that the sorc is not fearless, T4, and has to cast Lash at the same target that his unit is shooting at, per shooting rules. Aside from that, he can hide in a rhino and lash out the fire points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683167.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683167.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot DP. I found that the outcomes are not much different. The Force Weapon is great for killing Marine HQs. I have seen a lot of armies of late running 1 DP and 1 Sorc because of how easy it is for the DP to get singled out. Usually they Deep Strike the DP and Lash and Sorc run around Lashing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683250.page GMT Chaos HQ Slot DP.
Stay away from them in smaller games. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683418.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237501/683418.page GMT
