| Time to finalize. |
Now that we know what the Banners and Icons do, I think it's time to finish off this army list with some stuff. I've definitely decided to go with a pure Slaanesh and Tzeentch army, and kept only the units I liked visually. Honestly, when playing Daemons, I don't think you can take things too seriously with so many random effects going off left and right. I think this is going to be a very good book, although the first couple of tidbits made us all very worried.
Here is what the list looks like currently:
1992
HQ:
Lv.3 Telepathy Keeper of Secrets = 270
2 Greater Gifts, 1 Lesser Gift
Lv.3 Divination Herald of Tzeentch = 120
Disc
Herald of Slaanesh = 85
1 Lesser Gift, Exalted Locus
Herald of Slaanesh = 85
1 Lesser Gift, Exalted Locus
Masque of Slaanesh = 75
TROOP:
20x Daemonettes (Slaanesh Banner, IoC) = 210
20x Daemonettes (Banner, IoC) = 190
10x Daemonettes = 90
10x Daemonettes = 90
FAST ATTACK:
9x Screamers = 225
ELITE:
9x Flamers of Tz (Pyrocaster) = 212
HEAVY:
Tz Chariot (Blue Horror) = 110
Tz Chariot (Blue Horror) = 110
Tz Chariot (Blue Horror) = 110
Other possible units to add and try:
20x Seekers of Slaanesh, Slaanesh Banner, Instrument of Chaos
20x Seekers of Slaanesh, Slaanesh Banner, Instrument of Chaos
led by a Herald on a Seeker, with Seduction and an lesser gift
What do you guys think of the list? Any suggestions on what I can add/try?
what happened to the keeper of secrets? I really liked your last post. Just as you introduced this post you must take demons with a grain of salt and embrace the randomness. If it were me I would stay true to my original intention and stick with a keeper of seecrets.
ReplyDeleteI think I read somewhere that The Masque isn't counted as a herald anymore, so that bit might not work. Looks pretty cool otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWhat bit? She just comes down and makes something happens to an non-vehicle unit within 12". She has 3 dances, check out the previous rumor thread on have on this site to see what she does!
ReplyDeleteThe Keeper of Secrets is right there :) Lv.3 Telepathy KoS!
ReplyDeleteWhy flamers? s4 ap4 template is kind of meh, especially with the range restriction of the latest FAQ applied...note they seem to have lost Warpfire.
ReplyDeleteWhoa what was I smoking, thought I saw a tzentch greater daemon as your main HQ. That all aside, I'm glad you seem fired up with the new codex. There seems to have been a malaise across the 40k blogosphere with 6th edition and its good to see an old stand by writing positive articles again!.
ReplyDeleteThey're there to supply ranged anti-infantry. S4 AP4 is meh, true, but I don't mind having them for diversity than filling the board up with Skysharks!
ReplyDeleteYeah, a lot of doom and gloom as of late. Just play the game and enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteTrue that.
ReplyDeleteMin size of the Daemonettes is 10?
ReplyDeleteIs it? I'm asking now.. it was 5 before.
ReplyDeleteUpdate on Screamers:

got to correct myself here regarding screamers. they GOT nerfed :
profile is the same but their CC attacks are s 4 ap - now with 3 attacks in profile.
they can exchange all of their attacks for a a single S 5 ap 2 Armorbane attack.
All troops min size is 10.
ReplyDeleteScreamers still have same Warp Jaws, S5 AP2 Melee Armorbane. Still 25 points. Fear not. :)
I stand corrected, you're right about Screamers...it's 3 S4 AP- or 1 S5 AP2 Armorbane.
ReplyDeleteWell, time to change the list around slightly.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Fiends are getting cut.
I don't think it's too bad though.. you still get 2A on the charge. I guess 3 S5 AP2 attacks were kind of over the top :P Now with Prescience, you're netting around the same amount of wounds.
