Daemons of DOOOM!!!

Tried the list above against Subahan's new mech Necron list. Damn OP.

Nemesor
10 Warriors
10 Warriors in Ghost Ark
10 Warriors in Night Scythe
1 Triarch Stalkers

10 Scarab Swarms

1 Annihilation Barge
1 Annihilation Barge
1 Monolith

He has like 5 AV13, 1 AV14 and 1 Flyer. Super tough steel to crack.
Didn't get my preferred wave. Lost my 1st blood easily to him. Bloodthirster came in and died easily due to his annihilation barges' Tesla.

So better to have full daemon without allies and Fateweaver with the 3 Soul Grinders. But a bit bored playing with Fateweaver list. Will put them back to the warp until the rumored Daemon release on Feb.

This is the list I'll be taking to Singapore to fight with the best there. What do you guys think?

For additional 250 points, added another troop (horrors) and split the screamers into 2 smaller squads of 6 each. Or should I get another FMC?

Looks solid.

An additional troops choice is always good.

Tested the latest list today vs Subahan's Necrons and Dann's DE. The 2 smaller squads of screamers kinda work but of course die easier too. lol

A few mistakes that I did when playing this list which I'm putting here so that I can be reminded not to repeat them:
- Daemons have fear. NON-space marines or fearless should always be forced to take at the beginning of the fight sub-phase.
- Deepstrike screamers near enemies first so that they can turbo-boost, slashing attack on enemy and then go near Fateweaver.
- Changling! Always forgot about his ability to force 1 enemy unit that is about to shoot to take ld check else it will shoot his own friendly unit of my choice. (so many times forgotten about this)
- If still got flyers, don't glide with the FMC. Always remain in the air to boost their survivability so they can have a chance with enemy fliers. Once all 3 FMC are not able to fly, the army can't handle fliers at all.

Changing my list to include a Blue Scribe and remove Changling due to points constraints (only needed 2 more points! )

Now I will have more pavanes. hehehe

OH! 1 special event happened vs Dann just now.
His grotesque deathstar in the ruin wanna charge both my Masque and 3 Flamers. My Masque overwatched, got 1 hit (6 to hit) and I moved him 6" away. He ended up failed his charge! EPIC JOKE! lolz

Finally completed my army with the addition of the Blue Scribe.
Here are the pictures. Enjoy!

nicely done bro.

Looks good bro.. but lighting for the pic tak berapa cantik lah..

not good with lighting skills ma.

Finally got my hands on my "temp" codex of the new Daemons. Would like to test it out this weekend.
Too many random and special rules. Took me 2 days to come out with my 1st prototype list. Probably gonna suck but that's the fun making new list right?
Anyone would like to have a test play with me?


Here's the list.


HQ
Lord of Change
- 1 Lesser Reward (default swap with Staff of Change: +2 S, Master-crafted)
- 2 Greater Rewards
- Mastery Level 3 (2 Divination, 1 Change)

Herald of Nurgle

- Mastery Level 2 (Biomancy)
- Greater Locus of Fecundity (gives FnP)

TROOP
20 Plaguebearers
- Instrument
- Icon (Plague Banner: Once use only - Gives unit 2+ poison attacks)
- Plagueridden with 1 Lesser Reward (gonna default swap for Etherblade: AP2, Master-crafted, Specialist Weapon)

10 Plaguebearers (will camp on the ADL as mark of nurgle got shrouding, 2+ cover baby!)

6 Nurglings (they can infiltrate)

FAST

FORTIFICATION

The Soul Grinders will hug ruins thus can get 2+ cover. Probably impossible with drop pod melta marines but at least can hide from long fangs etc and keep bombard them with pie plates. Since they have Ordnance now, it helps against vehicles too!

Plague Drones and Nurglings will disrupt enemy's gun lines. Lord of Change will take care of any assault oriented units. He now can fight!

Plaguebearers with Nurgle probably going to deepstrike into enemy or mid field depending on the situation.

Other than that, just pray hard on the warp storm rolls every start of my shooting phase! (gulp!)

Looks strong.. You'll have problem against Drop Pod list. But not so much I think.

The only thing that keeps this from being fluffy is the Blue Bird. A Tzeentch GD leading an army of Nurgle

Take Great Unclean One lah bro..

still remaking my list. seems like having only 2 troops is not good.

ok, this is the list i'll be testing out on this Sat.

Pity that there is no room for slaanesh in this list. else really muhibah dy.

is there an animosity table?

is called warp storm table. every shooting phase i have to roll. very random.
if got points would take fateweaver though he now sucks but his locked on warlord trait allows me to re-roll on the warp storm table.

No i meant is there like some rules to represent the animosity between the different gods? I read a rumour that there's like a mistrust table? Like on a roll of 1, they cannot perform any action?

no la... they hate their rival daemon.
and there is a chance of a roll on the warp storm table that affect a particular god. example Wrath of Khorne affects only Nurgle etc.

Daemonic rivalries is just like the CSM codex.
Tzeentch <-- hates --> Nurgle
Khorne <-- hates --> Slaanesh
That's all bro..

Quote :

10 Bloodletters (will camp at the ADL)

Hit on 2+ with rerolls The best use of their BS5

Too many troops a bit redundant if they can't provide any threat. not to mention if the mission is kill points. so changing the strategy with this list.

If kill points, the herald will opt to take Grimoire of True Names and be deepstriking. So the army is a bit flexible.

If time permits, gonna try a fun FMC list.

Staff of Change is a Power Maul ka? wow.. Tzeentch Daemons are S8?!..

yea... all my Tzeentch MC got Staff of Change S8.
Now... headache. Where can I find staffs for my 2 Tzeentch DP??? lol

Waah.. Tzeentch is good. But how many attacks?

same as CSM DP. 5 each. so divination spell is important.

Managed to test out the daemons 2 games using both different list. Super huge difference.

- Soul Grinders are awesome. Opponent had 3 Storm talons but I had not much problem taking care of them with 2 soul grinders and 1 quad gun.

- Plague drones are super tough. Easily can get 3+ cover.

- Skull Cannon was fun targeting at those Scouts camping in cover as they don't get their cover saves

- Screamers still good but not that killy anymore. They are used more slashing ppl.

- Too many rules to keep track of. Especially the 2nd list where I need to keep track of all the random rewards and psychic spells. lol

- Fateweaver still quite playable. Just make sure he's always up in the air and have his 1 re-roll each turn to re-roll the ground test will do.

Sounds like fun.. I want my codex
