Can Be'lakor Fill the Void?
I want to be different (even if just a little) and not take old Fatey. I like Be'lakor with his Telepathy powers, Shrouded and other little goodies. But is he up to the task of filling in the big boots of a Fateweaver? Maybe not completely - but at least most of the way?

Here is what I have come up with for my Be'lakor list:

CHAOS DAEMONS PRIMARY
HQ

Bloodthirster - Greater x1, Exalted x1 (portalglyph)
Lord of Change - Psyker 3, Greater x2, Lesser x1 (staff of change)

TROOPS

Plaguebearers x12
Plaguebearers x11

FAST

Khorne Flash Hounds x17

HEAVY

Daemon Prince of Tzeentch - armor, flight, Psyker 3, Greater x1, Exalted x1 (grimoire)?

CHAOS SPACE MARINES DETATCHMENT

HQ

Be'lakor

TROOPS

Cultists x10

FAST

Helldrake

=1999

I like the idea of making the Khorne Dogs or Bloodthirster Invisible with Be'lakor. Seems the way to go early game. Hopefully a game changer?
I am not so sure about the Grimoire without Fateweaver, is it worth the risk? I am leaning towards no, but hell, whom doesn't want a 2++ LoC with re-rolling 1 saves? = King Jerk Wad.

Think of Fateweaver as a safety net and Be'Lakor as a scalpel. Two very different objects useful for different situations.

Something I've always want to do is take a 2000 pt Khorne Monster Mash.

2 Bloodthirsters
60 Bloodletters
3 Daemon Princes

various upgrades.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6670762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6670762.page GMT 2000 Greater Daemons Ball - Is Fateweaver Really Necessary? Can Be'lakor Fill the Void? DP's for heavy support slots without taking a LoC. Fateweaver is the same price, still a good psyker and way more survivable with the grimoir. Plus you also get the staff of tomorrow, and the automatic warlord trait. You could of course include Slaanesh or Nurgle princes for the respective Greater Daemons. The Khorne ones are just a little sub-standard though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6672069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6672069.page GMT Re:2000 Greater Daemons Ball - Is Fateweaver Really Necessary?

I like Bloodthirsters and with some help from Invisibility plus the Grimoire or Iron Arm I think they can shine as almost nothing can beat them.

Well, what if I doubled down and went Be'lakor plus Fateweaver? I am warming up to this idea.

No doubt he's a beast, the only issue is actually getting him there alive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6676009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6676009.page GMT 2000 Greater Daemons Ball - Is Fateweaver Really Necessary?

It also depends on the level of competition you play as we'll . A plan like that will quickly fall apart vs the top builds.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6676426.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586953/6676426.page GMT
