Allied Deamon

BT/Blessing

8 Plague Bearers

6 Screamers

Dark Apo is going in the Land Raider with possesed.

[Frosty the Pirate]

Little bit of a low model count, and only 3 scoring units, one of which gets to deepstrike in blast formation. But assuming you can get preferred wave and get your charge off the with possess, you have a very strong offensive punch.

I don't remember if Blessing is the upgrade for it, but if you took the +1 str for the BT and you can keep him vector striking, he'll be very deadly and help strip hull points off so you can finish them with lascannons.

Keeping your LR will be essential, as losing 1/3 of your lascannons will seriously impact your ability to deal with mass light armour.

Knowing your Generalsmanship (is that a word?), I think you can do very well as long as you don't run into Nids or Orks.

[LizardTau]

blessing is the 2+ invul against psychic and force weapons, might is the +1 strength one if i remember correctly

[danydaigle24]

yeah its +2 invul againts force Weapon.

Ray I would have like to run 35 cultist with Dark Apo so I can have 4 troops but I just dont have the models. I will buy some flagellant to do the unit soon. Thats just a fluffy friendly list for tommorow because I dont think it will be a very competitive tournament tommorow and if Im wrong well to bad I will get my ass kick 3 times

[Frosty the Pirate]

Ah, I see. It's still a good list, I was just doing my usual analysis, you know me and my OCD list building.

I might to try drop by the tournament tomorrow at some point, later on around when game 2 is finishing or game 3 starting, just to see what's up.

Good luck tomorrow!

[danydaigle24]

Thanks. I know you like to analize and its good that you do it.

Deamon Allied

Herald Tzentch/Disc

6 Flamers


9 PlagueBearers


6 Screamers

[Jack Shrapnel]

I think you'll find the flamers and the screamers are going to rock alot of people....
gives me hope for the new daemon codex....

I'm assuming the two dark apostles join the possessed in the landraider???

[danydaigle24]

No one with Possesed (tzentch) and one with cultist to make them Fearless and move fowards like crazy cultist (flagellant) that wants to die for Chaos...

and Screamers are great I already tried them during my tournament and my weakness was template wich I wont have problem with Oblit and Flamers now just ds in havoc line and kill them all... because you know people like to pack havoc or ML spam now its popular...

[Frosty the Pirate]

Havocs are the new Long Fangs, period.

I'd throw some tools at the cultists if you can find a couple spare points, since they are likely to be engaged in combat. Power Mauls are probably a good option, Not sure if you can take anything that would kill a dreadnought as that's really their only weakness.

[danydaigle24]

Yeah right I will check that I dont have my codex right now good points... Probably a MM to the champion or to my DA....

[danydaigle24]

Here is an other idea I want to try... Wanna try hades on the dragon since I already have lots of anti-infantry and needs more anti-air. Always in mind of a real WB forces.... Let me know if you find something is not WB...

Dark Apo
Gift Of Mutation
Tzentch
Murder Sword


8 Possessed
2 Gift

10 Chaos Marine

Fast

Dragon/Hades Auto

Heavy

Land Raider/Dirge

Allied Deamon

Herald Tzentch
Disk

9 Flamers

11 PB

5 Screamers

Soul Grinder Plhgem

[thesanityassassin]

What does the Hades do again? I've always just seen the Baleflamers on them. More anti-air seems pretty useful though, especially with the Oblits gone. Phlegm is the large blast on the Grinder?

I think it looks pretty strong, and certainly Word Bearers fluffy.

[Frosty the Pirate]

Seems pretty solid, only 3 scoring units through. And you'll have to pick your target carefully with the murder sword.

I've never seen the Hades on a Dragon, for the points why not just get a Forge Fiend and get 2x Cannons and the reroll wounds/armor pen once a game for the same cost basically?

The Deamon allies look solid, I'm assuming you'd be front loading the flamers, screamers and the grinder and basically praying for preferred wave?

Since you lost a lot of AT in the oblits, I'd maybe also look at moving at dropping a flamer or two for a screamer or two? maybe 7-7 instead of 9-5?

All of those are just minor tweaks through, and will depend on how it feels while test playing.

[danydaigle24]

Yeah I will play test for sure I have billions of screamers and I need to buy flamers.... I always play with 3 scoring in all my list so far and was never a problem...

I will also try the dragon like I said its for anti-air and I already have the fantasy terrogheist so its gonna be cool if it sucks I can always say its a baleflamer.. I also have the reroll pen on the Dragon and hit on 4 other Dragon and its also scary so people will shoot at hit for no reason haha

Thanks for the input...
