2k Daemon List - Hit-n-Run Specialists of DOOM!!!!!!

So this is a bit of a random and for fun post. Got a little bored at work and was thinking about how important movement and speed are in 40k. This in turn got me thinking again of an idea I tossed around a few months ago but haven’t gone through with yet due to the sheer amount of conversion work I’d have to do.

So there is a tiny amount of room to play with and I’d suggest grenades on the Princes personally but I think this looks like a blast. Granted only 3 ranged anti-tank weapons but you have 10 units that can hit-n-run giving you an enourmous mobility advantage over almost everyone. Granted your gonna take hits on the drop but the entire army gives you the ability to pretty much land at distance and then move in, making it more viable against a certain silvered codex that just came out. The speed also allows for concentration of forces as needed which is a big thing I took away from using Raveners recently with my Tyranids.

Just something fun that I wanted to put pen to paper on. Thoughts?
