The majority of the other armies are Space Marines and Imperial Guard. There might be a couple of Necron, Tau and Eldar armies, though not many.

My list:

Fateweaver
Lord of Change; Mastery Level 3, Grimoire
20xPink Horrors
20xPink Horrors
16xPink Horrors
18XSeekers
17xSeekers

1500

My general game-plan is to start two of the horror squads, a seeker squad and the two HQ's on the field, pushing one blob up to the midfield with the LoC while the smallest one hangs in the backfield with Fatey and a Seeker squad to run interference against deep-strikers. The bigger seeker squad and the third horror blob will DS in my opponents' backfield and cause some havoc, and by turn 3 I'll start edging the second seeker squad up field to keep the pressure on.


Any criticisms or critiques? The LoC is my only real source of anti-tank, but I'm putting money on the idea of simply ignoring armor as much as I can. High-strength, Low-RoF weapons are almost useless against this army, so the only thing I'm really afraid of are things like Wyverns, which'll put a ton of wounds on my squishy daemons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593252/6791270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593252/6791270.page GMT 1500 Semi-Competitive Daemons
I would advice making the horror squads smaller an having 2 heralds of slaneesh with locus of grace on seekers one with portal and other with grimnore then with spare points use your LoC as a daemon prince with wings if you can fudge the points. This will make your grimnore much more survivable as its hidden in a unit. Also it makes your seekers far more deadly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593252/6791309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593252/6791309.page GMT 1500 Semi-Competitive Daemons

Can I advice that you get heralds for your seekers and give them the locus of grace because your seekers at the moment will take lots of casualties due too dangerous terrain. A smart player will tie you up in terrain so that when you pile in you take dangerous tests.

If you want to use lots of squads, then this is not a bad suggestion (as much as I am loathe to admit it, as I much prefer LoC over heralds in usual lists).

Personally I'd drop one of the seeker squads. They need the grimoire to be effective, and if you are running fateweaver and 2 squads then you will leave two vulnerable targets per turn.
Take a Tzeentch Prince with the grimoire, and then get a slaanesh herald with move through cover.
To finish off I'd get a tzeentch herald with +1 str shooting and the portal. (Some horros or a seeker or 2 will heave to be removed to allow for points).
