Am I dumb or could this work since it is slightly less reliant on the grim going off?

2) 2 tzeentch heralds is not enough to get forewarning reliably

But nonetheless it has potential, all of the hounds scouting and then charging in. Also if you get forewarning and the grimoire off, on the screamercouncil, it can work. But this is highly unlikely. Also you put the locus of conjuration on a herald, meaning your only going to roll 4 times on divination and take flickering fire on both heralds.

If you want a list without fateweaver (and without realying on the grimoire), then these combos work;
- belakor invisis 9 screamers, giving them a 2+ re-rollable cover
- 60 flesh hounds, or as many as you can fit in, with a few khorne heralds using the scout USR to make your opponent get very hot under the collar from turn 1]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591353/6753403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591353/6753403.page GMT 1850 Non-Fateweaver Deamons

It is a little light on troops, but has great destructive capabilities. I personally prefer nurgle sorcerers on bikes, over lords, just on the basis that I can roll iron arm. Nurgle spawn to accompany the sorcerer, much better than nurgle bikers. Daemon heart, gives the sorcerer a 2+ and IWND.

The axe is awesome to be sure, but it will almost guarnteed overkill whatever it tears into. I'd like at least the chance of using them tactically and killing off a squad in the enemies assault phase so I can hide from shooting for a turn. That and I like the added toughness to make sure I can get there. Granted, it would be good thematically and I might try it some time.

Thanks for the ideas. I really need to get the Crimson Slaughter supplement as I know there are some nifty pieces of wargear in there. What about the Balestar? Does that grant the Sorcerer access to Div? Prescienced dogs and the possibility for Forewarning and Misfortune would be pretty sweet.

Also I see you have an Exalted reward in there as well, but I was wondering if it might not be better to say hell with the grimoire altogether. Having a big squad of dogs with a 6+ save would really suck and there's a 1 in 3 chance that happens. With 57 hounds it seems like you can pretty well rely on "weight of doge" (as I like to call it) to get to the enemy lines with enough strength left to lay down the hurt. Possibly keep the exalted reward but just go for the portalglyph instead?

EDIT: Stopped dilly-dallying and got Crimson Slaughter. I definitely think I'd go for the Balestar on the Sorcerer over a Spell Familiar.

I put the exalted reward in there because of the small number of troops, so a portalglyph. But against screamercouncil, seer council and other armies that rely on psykers, a doomstone, all friendly and enemy psykers within 6" must take a leadership, if they fail they suffer perils of the warp (or something like that).
And if you can't think of anything to get roll on the table, or just take the grimoire anyway, but obviously it's not necessary.

And yeah I totally agree with your choices. Too bad the exalted table sucks compared to the greater table. MAKES PERFECT SENSE ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591353/6760550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591353/6760550.page GMT
