I'd really like to learn the game using the daemoniac legions of the blood god, but is it a good idea, or will it leave a bitter taste in my mouth as the army fails again and again?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1341604.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1341604.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?
Don't get me wrong, it's very fun (I run an all khorne list). But if it's a wide variety of tactics you are looking for then a mono khorne army is not what you want to play. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1341779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1341779.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1341792.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1341792.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1342116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1342116.page GMT Re:Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1342186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1342186.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? CR most likely (though magic + GUO + nurgs maybe do stuff); tizz is quite infamous for being OTT magic + OTT flamers. Slaanesh is my favorite, combining drunken speed with being somewhat weak, but she plays a more interesting game IMO, having to work a bit more than the other gods while also utilizing a brutal psych game when combined with the Masque. Siren song is ok too

To your question about Khorne, yea it's viable! Bloodthirster + flesh hounds + jugger heralds = profit.

MR, you'll cross the board in 2x turns with a few casualties, but mostly in tact. That being said, you don't need furies (in truth no deamon army really does). They fly and everything but can't fight anything fiercer than an occaisional WM crew and if your opponent doesn't have WM then they wander around deperately trying to find somehting half-slowed enough they can actually fight it instead of exploding to instability.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343269.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?
As mentioned above, mono-Khorne and mono-Tzeentch are the nastiest, and generally the easiest to play. Khorne marches up the board, charges anything and everything, and murderizes. Tzeentch flies around avoiding charges and magic/shoots everything to death. Nurgle is a little tougher because it has a different game plan than most. Nurgle's best army is one that's set up to basically refuse to yield any VP's, capture a few VP's here and there, be in all table quarters, and win a low points game through massive VP-denial.

Slaanesh is about the hardest army to play as a mono-god list, and is the weakest (IMO), though that certainly doesn't mean it's a weak army by any means. Just not quite as brutal as some other Daemon builds. That said, it has blazing speed, and against an army that's not ItP it can do super nasty things really fast. It has a little more trouble against an all ItP army, though it's still strong. Just actually requires a bit more thought than, say, mono-Tzeentch or Khorne. With Khorne, you have a pile of weapons you just point at your opponent's models and kill. With Tzeentch, you just have a nuke button...push it a bunch of times until your opponent's army doesn't exist. A monkey could win most games with either of those armies. Also, the people who play them are bad people and should be shunned.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343610.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343681.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343681.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?
And you could probably make a bad Daemon army. Something like a Daemon Prince for a Lord, 3 blocks of Daemonettes, and fill the rest of the army with Furies and Beasts of Nurgle.

(Though those Beasts could be nasty...they're just horrendously overpriced compared to everything else on that page and the page opposite.)

Otherwise...ummm...CHANGE FOR THE CHANGE-GOD (shenanigans for the shenanigans-god?)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343822.page GMT Re:Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?

Put them behind enemy units to insta-gib them when they break, or temporarily deny ranks to inflict more instability/crumble wounds.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1343989.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1344112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1344112.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1344125.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1344125.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?

It's a shame, really. I got my Tzeentch army for 40K, and they're subpar there (doesn't help that I made some decisions based on money and personal likes/dislikes instead of effectiveness). Now I want to play fantasy... but would feel bad about it, because it's apparently impossible to lose with them, or something.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1344318.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1344318.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?

Don't let the lame groupthink that winning=bad person steer you away from using a fun army that you own for a game you want to play. Winning is fun, and there's nothing wrong with winning games. Some people feel superior for using subpar armies to try to win, or try to guilt people who play stronger armies into bringing down their game. But those people are lame, and (imo) are more of a detriment to the hobby than people who enjoy playing strong armies. So long as you're not a jerk while you play the game, most people will not have any problem with you. And again, winning is fun. That's why people who don't win as much (whether because they lack the skill or purposely handicap themselves by playing poor armies) get upset and try to guilt people who do win. If winning really wasn't as important to them as fluff or theme or a good clean game, they wouldn't be upset to get their teeth kicked in once in a while. But the enjoyment you derive from the game depends entirely on you, not what other people think. Go for it.

And as an aside, if you want to start playing Fantasy, it implies you don't play now. Strong army or not, you're not going to walk up to a table in your first ever game and smoke anyone who steps up. There's still a learning curve. It might actually make people like playing you more if they manage to take a win away against a hard as nails army.

And as a further aside, I've had some success with Tzeentch Daemons in 40k. Certainly nothing like in Fantasy, but complied an overall winning record, which is a success in my book.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1346227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1346227.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?

True. Honestly, I suspect I'd be a little bored with if it's easy - more so than if it's hard, as in 40K - but I should at least give it a shot.

I've done well against foot MEQs and foot Eldar armies, of which I have seen very few.

This. I don't want to be able to smoke whoever walks up, I want to learn the rules with an army I think looks cool, and that I understand will be more forgiving than the O&G.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1347645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1347645.page GMT Re:Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1348357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279704/1348357.page GMT Are mono-god Chaos Daemon armies viable in WHFB?
They are the best Khorne unit in the book.
