Daemons

Rumor has it that there was a request to see a Daemons list. So here goes... as of tonight... possibly final... I've only changed it about 468 times so far so it's likely that I'll change it at least once more before we start playing. So I'll list a couple of possibles and a few options I might still consider.

I don't have all of the minis yet. I know, lame. So I'll have to proxy a few but I don't think it will be confusing (although it will look dumb since I'll have to proxy using a space marine or ork since that's all I have). I planned on building a few more peeps but I'm either slow or lazy or cheap or maybe a combo of those.

HQ
The Masque (100 pts) - I plan to portray her with a daemonette since I don't have her yet
Herald of Khorne w/ Iron Hide and Unholy Might (100 pts)

TROOPS
10 Bloodletters (160 pts) - I only have 9 if I use one as a Herald so I'll have to proxy one
10 Daemonettes (140 pts) - I only have 9 if I use one as the masque so ...

ELITES
4 Flamers (140 pts) - only have 3 so I'll proxy one
4 Flamers (140 pts) - only have 3 so I'll proxy one

HEAVY
1 Daemon Price w/ Unholy might, Mark of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Daemonic Gaze, Boon of Mutation, and Soul Devourer (220 pts)

or...

HQ
Masque (100 pts)
Skulltaker (140 pts) - don't have him so i'd use the same bloodletter as the herald

TROOPS
10 Daemonettes (140 pts)
10 Bloodletters (160 pts)

ELITES
4 Flamers (140 pts)
4 Flamers (140 pts)

HEAVY
1 DP with w/ Unholy might, Mark of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Daemonic Gaze (180 pts)

I thought the Masque and Skulltaker in one battle might be far fetched but since these will be serious tournament battles they could both show. I've considered dumping the minis I'll have to proxy, like the two flamers (since I only have 6) and spending the points on bolt of tzeentch or something else but I'm happier with 8 so I'll probably just fake them. My daemon prince also might end up as tzeentch or slaanesh (he doesn't really look like either). I sort of like having a "leader" from Khorne, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch since I have units from each but I'm not stuck on that. I've also considered using that mini as a Keeper of Secrets (I might still) or briefly as Skarbrand (but I won't do that).

Whatever happens I'll have about 30 guys and it will be something close to the lists above.

  1. I wouldn't worry about proxied models especially when it's so few.

  2. I think I like list #2, spreads out the points a little more and you aren't sinking a ton of points into the Daemon Prince (or as much as the 1st list).
