Fun for pickup games, campaigns and narrative scenarios, but not competitive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1831837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1831837.page GMT Re:Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony IG force than in the Daemonhunter codex itself, but if you are playing a Planetstrike game, you most definitely want to give them a shot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1831923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1831923.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1832233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1832233.page GMT Re:Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1836822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1836822.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1837779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1837779.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1838661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1838661.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony DH army that I use for quick fun games; basically 600pt: Inq and retinue; 2 squads of stormtroopers; 3 daemonhosts.
Anecdotally I have never lost with this outfit.

I find daemonhosts to be a very well priced unit. In low points battles, 3 daemon hosts can usually hold up most of the enemy force by themselves. The issue (as stated previously) is getting them into combat. Just hug cover for the first few turns, and if you're lucky you'll roll a teleport anyway. Once the're in combat all of the powers have a use.
I especially enjoy teleporting out of combat toward a unit that your opponent thought was sitting safely on an objective / in cover etc.

I recommend them. The disadvantages are fairly obvious, and you're not going to see a competitive list over 1000 pt with them, but then again it's quite hard to make a competitive DH list without GK anyway-

I always find a little bit of randomness= fun

Well, with the veritable cornucopia of information you've given there's literally nothing left to flesh out is there?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841811.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841811.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony

I had an inqiusitor lord with 2 body guards, 2 mystics, and 2 familars, 2 squads of stormtroopers in chimeras, a land raider, 3 squads of 3 deamonhosts, and lance strike.

Basically all i did was keep my lord and troopers back and deepstriked all my deamonhosts right next to him. my lord and troopers didnt do anything but my deamon hosts assaulted everything and either ran the tau over or made them fall back off the table. And i only lost 1 deamonhost but that was from a misshape]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841858.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841858.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony

Yeah: Grats on winning with your illegal army. Daemonhosts are a 0-1 choice and only allow 3 as 1 slot, so 3 max per army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841978.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841978.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony

How did he feel about you running an illegal list? Sounds like you really got some good mileage out of those extra six Daemonhosts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1841990.page GMT Daemon Hosts, Oh the Agony http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1844799.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310947/1844799.page GMT
