It's Never-Ending... Hard Boyz, Daemons: Part I

As I sit here waiting for my turkey burger with grilled pineapples (my wife's handiwork), I decided I had time to write a quick post.

I'll have to take my faux burger on the road, 'cause I'm heading over to play the Mighty Mighty Carlos' Descent of Decent Angels in a 2500 point Hard Boyz test game.  Here's what I'm taking.

No, I don't like Grinders.  No, it isn't optimized.  Piss on all that!  I know what my best list is... which is why I need to keep messing with the formula.  I'm testing Soul Grinders and a beat-stick Nurgle Daemon Prince in place of my tried and true Tzeentchian Gun-Bunnies.

The rest of the list is tight.  Even the Troops - know why?  'Cause it works, that's why!  It's better than 6 5-man 'Bearer units because it has options they don't.

Now I'm late - time to take my food on the road!

Pics to follow...

    I have been playing Daemons since they came out and I have NEVER had any luck with the Soul Grinders. They just don't jive with the rest of the army - they are the ONLY unit that will die to one shot. Everything else has to have round after round fired into it.

    Like you said, the rest of the list is solid. I would imagine after a few games you will move away from the Grinders back to your Gun-Bunnies.

    Yay, 40K! I'm looking forward to the pics/report. I'd like to play you with the 2500 Ork list I didn't build to last year. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it would qualify as practice for you...but I'd probably get a lot from it!

    I run two grinders and I tend to have much success with them. The learning curve is steep though to figure out how they mesh with your army and can be used well.
