first thing, you seem to be a bit over points at 2040 if its supposed to be 2000?

also your army seems to have a very fast (daemon prince, champion, dameonettes, furies) and a slower part (knights, marauders,chariots, spawn, ogres/minotaurs) you might have a bit of trouble combining them if you want to get to your enemy.

If the enemy can kill your prince and champ, you don't have so much hitty fast stuff left. I don't know if  mixing superfast with slow/hitty will work, after missile losses you might not have enough 20" movers left to seriously bother enemy troops. If you fight an army geared for combat it should prove an even fight, and the list dosen't have any seriously bad unit choices.

Something you might add into your list is some cheap throwaway units, like small units of warhounds and marauder horse with flail that can hit hard for few points.

Your chariots would be a thing to cut, also becuse they are much slower then the rest of the force (7" no march).

Even if this might sound pretty negative it's still pretty solid and should get pretty good comp (if your using it) at least from me

P.S if you worry about facing high lvl magic armies (as implied in your post) it would be a good idea with a scroll caddies to survive intact first 1-2 turns.

bye,

Scroll caddies are missing because I can't see them being of more use than equivalent points of combat troops. I do have one scroll on the DP for emergencies though.

Thanks for the feedback!

exalted champion(100)mark(20)e.shield(10)rending sword(40)Stedd(40) = 210pts

6 chosen knights(270*) Mark(20) Command(50) = 340pts

*1 knight 33 chosen +12, 45x6 =270

So it seem you forgot to count the marks in the total points

Right, I forgot about the DP's scroll then you should be off fine if you do some magehunting too.

Good you luck with the army

I like the list. It's different and has lots of potential for cool conversions. To me that's two of the three best things in army design.

You've got a ton of no/bad armor save stuff that's going to take a horrible beating from simple magic missiles.

But it hits like a ton of bricks, so it'll still have a chance.

Migs - Dragon Ogres are pretty good (improved Minos essentially), but they're also very, very expensive at 70-80 points each. I don't know if the army can bear such costs and remain flexible enough.

Mauleed - Magic is the list's big weakness, definitely, but the choice was deliberate and I'm happy with a fighting chance.
