Daemons 1000 Point List

So I had to take the plunge sometime, right?  And by that, I mean put my Daemon's list out there for you all to take a shot at.  So, following the Eldar-for-no-apparent-reason pic is my 1000pt list for the month of December.

Mofreaka's Council; an in progress shot.  I really dig the conversion work.

Total Roster Cost: 1000

The obvious downside here is I have exactly ONE way of destroying a Landraider... and it couldn't be more of a wing-and-a-prayer.  Bottom line, I'll have to ignore them.  I know of at least one army that will have Landraiders in his 1000pt Daemonhunters list... but hell, I'm what he beats up, right?  The only change I'm considering is replacing a Daemonette squad with a Plaguebearer squad, but right now it's the speed I want.

Let me know what you think.

Landraiders are a problem for daemons. Period. It doesn't matter what is in your list, because there is NOTHING in the whole book that can reliably take them down anyways. It's just something you're going to have to get over unfortunately.

I personally would switch the daemonettes for plaguebearers. Put them on an objective in cover, and even a squad of five will be obnoxiously hard to kill. Daemonettes on the other hand.. die. To pretty much anything, and it doesn't matter how fast you're going if you just want an objective. lol. You have no units that can reliably take objectives at the moment, so I would strongly suggest finding the room for at least one.

That makes a lot of sense. What about dropping the Daemonettes for Plaguebearers, as suggested -

- that's almost a one for one trade out, a 10pt difference -

- and split that Plaguebearers squad into two 5-man units? Or is a 10-man better for holding objectives?

Any thoughts?

depends on the number of objectives involved.

At smaller point values like this 5 man squads going to ground will probably be sufficient, at 1250 you move up to 7 man squads, at 1500 10 man squads.

Nothing in the book can take out landraiders???
•Bloodthirster with Unholy Might FTP (For The Pen) baby! You are so wrong Ty, landraiders are tin foil versus the Bloodthirster and since it's got wings it can run them down too.

•Soul Grinder with tongue, S10 AP1... and they can run them down and assault them (S10) since they have fleet.

•Here is another nobody ever sees coming... Khornate herald on a juggernaught or chariot with Unholy Might and Fury of Khorne. S7 on the charge, rend -> S7 + 6 + d3, so two out of three times if the herald rends he will pen AV14. I've done it with mine more times than you would imagine.

The other greater daemons and daemon princes can also pen AV14. And let's not forget those Screamers... That's what they are there for.

(A new favorite!) Anon: I haven’t even bothered playing a game of 6th yet, cause I have read the rules, and actually understand how they interact with units. I know my armies no longer function how they should, and so I need to change them.

I'm a comment whore and this whore is getting no play.

Not Brent hurts Brent's feelings.

I think, therefore I blog.

Not Brent has been spotted lurking around with a green marker.

He's not like a bad guy from a cartoon, all devious but never quite evil, Not Brent is bad beans, man, bad beans.

Dethtron: "Again I feel obliged to remind you that trying to sound smart only works if you are."

MVB: "I am not one to join the unwashed masses of self-titled 40k experts out there distributing advice from their blogs about exactly how your list should be built..."

Shiner Bock on tap: that's how I choose hotels.

Don't feed the trolls!

Drathmere: "Come for the balls, stay for the Brent? Kind of disturbing, man."

Go no further, lest thee see something thine eyes would fain look past!

Isabelle: "So, thank you for supporting your local and not so local unicorns. A noble gesture like that can show some scared kids out there that they don't have to hide from everyone and it's ok to be who they really are."

There is nothing more interesting than We The People... in all our beautiful, ugly glory!

On Internet Advice: You see, I have an almost religious belief that's it's a huge, colossal waste of time.

...I think I'll call it the Gun Shy Pattern Stormbuster, because after the Internet destroyed my first humble effort, I find I'm a bit worried about the reaction to this one.

Lauby: "Is it left over from that time you thought that you could just complete step one 12 times to meet the mandates of that court order?"

Not Brent: "I guess we'll have to read on and find out. Signed, Not Brent. Especially today."

Cynthia Davis: "I think the scrolling text is from Glen Beck's new book."

Grimaldi: "Spamming certain units creates interesting possibilities but also fatal weaknesses."

Purgatus: "Math can inform decisions. It cannot make decisions."

Thoughts? Comments? Hugs and gropings?

You'd be that much quicker to figure out what I mean when I refer to a Unicorn if I covered it in a rainbow flag.

SinSynn: (To Brent) "Curse you and your insidious influence on the internets..."

Dave G (N++): "You know you're an internet celebrity when your following is more akin to tabloids."

I prefer the term Internet Personality (or IP) myself, seeing as how I coined it.

Lauby: "Your attempt to humanize him as failed. I feel nothing but scorn for his beard - it's like a warcrime or something."

BBF: "I've always thought you are a good player but I finally figured out that you are a great player. It's hard to see sometimes because your personality is engaging, sincere and quite charming - to me that is kind of a rare combination."

'Clearly cheating?' I didn't misspeak: you jumped to conclusions. If you'd like to apologize I'll be happy to send you an autographed picture of my ass.

Ass.

I thought I was doing alright before I realized I was losing.

Age and treachery beats youth and vigor every time.
