While I doubt I'll run Daemons for Adepticon (Randomness over 4-8 rounds isn't good) I threw this list together tonight because I thought it would be fun. It's a combination of some of the things I've seen from Yermom and my normal style of list.

So it's a pretty standard Daemon list. I added the Bloodthirster because he's just a beast and a model that instant kills nobz, flies, and can crush LR's is something I found myself needing on occassion. The troops section is pretty normal except I like me my Horrors w/Bolt since it means they're a threat to vehicles and troops. Plague Bearers naturally excel at staying alive. The Elites slot I gave up one of my Fiend squads for another Crusher unit. I've found I need the survivability that Crushers have vs. Fiends. Full wound allocation of course but I'll drop them in seperate waves to make sure I have a banner on the table every turn (this matters when deepstriking Crushers). The DP's are my favorite type. I'm not sold on Soul Grinders and at this level I like the DP's a bit more. So thoughts?
Looks like pretty much teh standard fare for daemons. Should do okay. maybe another icon ?

It's always hard for me to say; I have my own tricks and tactics, so that's all I end up seeing!
ReplyDeleteI think it's got all the tools. I've never had much luck with the Bloodthirster, but you've got the Crushers to draw fire away from him.
I'm interested: write it up if you get a game!
Looks like Yermom took Best General at Mechanicon with daemons. It'll be very interesting to see some battle reports from that...
