I was wondering if the lesser daemons are worth the points. It seems like people on dakka can't agree on whether they suck or rock. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1668977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1668977.page GMT How well does lesser daemons perform?

Are they worth the points? CSM in assaults.

Pick a point size for the lesser daemon unit. Spend the same number of points on a rhino and a squad of Chaos Space Marines. If the lesser daemons charge that same point value worth of CSM, the expected result is a tie. That's assuming that the lesser daemons get the assault bonus attacks, and aren't assaulting into cover. And then, in round two of that combat, the lesser daemons start losing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1670496.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1670496.page GMT Re:How well does lesser daemons perform?

1) Get the hell outta dodge.
2) Get a counter charge
or depending on how many you got

3) Ignore that unit and go back to shooting.

Has worked wonders for me in the past, especailly against Orks or Nids.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1670524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1670524.page GMT How well does lesser daemons perform? Are they worth the points?
When that death company with reclusiarch and power fist/power sword is about to charge your berzerkers, its nice to have a screen of daemons to take that charge instead.

Against anything with furious charge of their own, daemons are probably the best way of blunting their charge, and setting them up for counter so you can furious charge them with your zerkers next turn- he who furious charges generally wins in these engagements.

Better to have your cheap daemons wiped out then your own hammer unit getting hammered.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672126.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672126.page GMT How well does lesser daemons perform?

CSM costs only 2 more points and is much more useful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672138.page GMT How well does lesser daemons perform?

I also use them to tie up scary units in combat, or take out weak units. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672370.page GMT How well does lesser daemons perform? Are they worth the points?

No grenades mean they strike last when assaulting into cover. No power weapons or fists mean that they are of limited use against MEQs and vehicles. A 5+ save means that anything with a decent number of attacks will walk right through them.

The only thing they are good for is tying up dreads, that have too few attacks to cause significant wounds.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672512.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/300396/1672512.page GMT How well does lesser daemons perform?
