They take what 90% of space marine players do, and flip it upside down, making it easy for Daemons to wipe out Space Marines. I am kind of the anti-daemon expert in my area. Fatecrusher is one of the most difficult builds for any player not matter how good they are to fight against. I won't discuss tactics here, but I wish I could see more daemon list like yours instead of fatecrusher all the time. :) <br /><br />Thunderwolves don't do as well against your bloodcrushers, but pop Daemon Princes like balloons.Spaguatyrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459803772469387289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-28222751363969704052010-12-12T18:27:36.745-06:002010-12-12T18:27:36.745-06:00@ Black Blow Fly - The problem I've found with...@ Black Blow Fly - The problem I've found with Daemons is that they are slightly more vulnerable to bad dice due to the way your forced to deploy by the 'Daemonic Assault' rules. Part of the appeal of the 'Cavalry' version of my list was that I could deep strike a safe distance from units and still be able to charge them the next turn due to the massive threat range.<br />Many people at my FLGS were amazed that a so-called competitive gamer (myself) was doing a Daemon army at all. 20+ wins and a draw or 2 later they were forced to reassess their opinions, lol.Gmorts Chaoticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018939871578423347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-16150962170019897802010-12-12T10:08:13.802-06:002010-12-12T10:08:13.802-06:00It's a common misperception that Daemons are n...It's a common misperception that Daemons are not competitive. I'd go so far as to say they are at the top. Thing is most people can't figure out how to play them. I watched some top players fielding them then it finally clicked. Any army is going to be hurt by bad dice, any army.<br /><br />GTerminus Esthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216648052452417162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-39724438483213460662010-12-11T21:22:45.788-06:002010-12-11T21:22:45.788-06:00Brent, I needed Stelek's link to get my first ...Brent, I needed Stelek's link to get my first experience of Digital Head (No Homo)...but since then, if you aren't in a tab somewhere alongside, then it's because I visited you first (or wasn't interested by the thread title, but that's not common...)TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-69075477605369864392010-12-11T20:35:05.150-06:002010-12-11T20:35:05.150-06:00(Meaning maybe it's just a good fit.)(Meaning maybe it's just a good fit.)Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426628265866457542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-79184386072662847612010-12-11T20:34:06.664-06:002010-12-11T20:34:06.664-06:00Spaguatyrine: Er...

I've lost the two times I've played the local player, who uses the standard three Long Fangs backed up by lots of Grey Hunters in mech.<br /><br />In a strange way, I'm always glad to see Thunderwolves. I've yet to lose to 'elite' Wolf builds.<br /><br />I'd say balanced Wolves are behind Vulcan Marines in the lists I know are going to be a slog. To put it in order...<br /><br />Vulcan, Space Wolves, Guard, Blood Angels, Eldar, and so on. It depends on the build, of course.<br /><br />To be fair, Daemons are my most successful army since 13th Co. in 3rd and Orks in 4th.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426628265866457542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-91725752392678428772010-12-11T20:03:53.464-06:002010-12-11T20:03:53.464-06:00I play with 4 daemon players that mainly use the F...I play with 4 daemon players that mainly use the Fatecrusher style. You have obviously done well with your list. I am interested to see if you have played Space Wolves?
