<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons.
I plan on running:
4x Herald of Khorne: Strength, Chariot.
4x Crushers.
3x Flamer.
5x Fiends: Strenght.
3x7 Horrors: Bolt. Changeling.
2x10 Bearers.
3x Phlegmgrinder.

I plan on playing offensive/defensive waves. ie; all threats in my good half.

I've played one game with my Daemons and lost my Flamers to mishap.

I'm thinking I may need 1-2 icons in the bearers to give me a safe zone in a cluttered battlefield. Probably just in my bad wave to help my threats. Troops don't need it and you can't use it turn one.

But yeah. What are your opinions on icon people?

Boon or a waste of 25pts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/730501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/730501.page GMT Daemonic Icons: Yes or no?

So Daemonic Assault tactics.

Am I dividing my army the correct way?

ie; Threat Overload/Saturation and Defensive? Of course it'd be tailored to whatever is stronger against the enemy army.

Like..

3 Grinders, Fiends, Crushers, 2 Heralds, Flamers.
vs
2 Heralds, 3 Horrors, 2 Bearers?

Because if you go 50/50 you literally have half your army vs. your opponent's whole army.

I'm also thinking that 1-2 Icons in the Bearers is probably best.

Like.

Primary wave can't use them opening turn and secondary wave is just support/defensive so they don't really need them.

However, the Primary wave is full of threats and if I roll crap then I need to make sure they show up where I need them.

Sound like solid theory?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/730716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/730716.page GMT Daemonic Icons: Yes or no?

The way to do Daemons is: Threats first wave, scoring units second.

I usually find its worthwhile to include one or two Icons, but in the second wave. If you get your preferred half you don't need Icons, they are only for the times when you roll the dreaded one/two.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731006.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons.
So I'm going to include a single Icon.

Heh.

.... and what's wrong with my list?

4x HoK: Chariot, Might.
4x Crushers.
3x Flamers.
5x Fiends.
3x 7 Horrors, Bolt, Changeling.
11x Bearers, Icon.
8x Bearers.
3x Phlegmgrinders.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731196.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons. MC's better value than 4 Heralds, more offensive punch and tend to live longer - also that way, you drop 2 MC's + 3 SG's in a wve. Suddenly anything below S4 is pretty pointless, and you go to town.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731292.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons.
400 for 4 Heralds is pretty good.

They're WS6, S6 (S7 on the charge), A4 powered attacks, T5 with a 3+/5++ and 4 wounds. Good value imho.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731313.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731313.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/731582.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons.
You'd generally deepstrike about 9" from the enemy and the same from other troops/terrain/etc?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/732208.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/732208.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/732914.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/732914.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/733060.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/733060.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/733497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/733497.page GMT Re:Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons. DS next to icons, i like the total board control you get with deepstriking. The icons don't do anything for the first wave anyway. I'm typically responding to enemy moves with my second wave or taking objectives which i wouldn't need to take if i already had an icon bearer sitting on it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/768148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/768148.page GMT Daemonic Assault strategy and Icons.

What makes you assume that?

the way i read it... every time a unit shoots in his range, take that test.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/768409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241154/768409.page GMT
