E-Mail In : Recent Daemon List for 2500 points.

What would you change in your recent Daemon list if you were going to use it in an 'Ard Boyz' style 2500 point tournament?

To be honest I've never really thought about it that much. As the missions for the aforementioned event change from one year to the next it's not really possible to plan a list to exploit those missions till they're released. However it's my opinion that a 'balanced list' should do well regardless of the mission parameters as certain things are constant throughout 40K,

1) Hold + Take Objectives
2) Kill Stuff

With those basics in mind and using my recently posted list as a starting point I'd probably consider using the following,


Chaos Daemons Roster - 2500 points

HQ: Herald of Tzeentch (1#, 100 pts)
   1 Herald of Tzeentch @ 100 pts (Master of Sorcery; Bolt of Tzeentch; Chariot of Tzeentch)

Heavy Support: Daemon Prince of Chaos (1#, 140 pts)
   1 Daemon Prince of Chaos @ 140 pts (Mark of Tzeentch; Bolt of Tzeentch)

Total Roster Cost: 2470

The 30 remaining points can be spent on a number of things that will depend on your play-style. You could give three of the Heralds 'We are Legion' so they could 'Bolt' one unit and 'Gaze' another, give Rending via 'Fury of Khorne' to the Flesh Hounds or even give six units 'Instruments of Chaos' it doesn't make much difference to be honest.

The best uses for these units can be found amongst the various 'Killing Grey Knights with Daemons' posts published over the last few weeks. Though the articles themselves are biased towards their usage against Grey Knights, the basic principles still apply to most other things as well.

Anyway, I hope that helps.

Thoughts and Comments are (as usual) most welcome.
