I think I don't want to fight another demon army! Those guys wreck my army just about every time!

.. but for the list, looks good, I think. From what I have seen of Brian's army, it makes sense to combine the horrors into one large unit (more spell levels, and you need the rank bonus with them, or they lose combat)

I would guess that there is not enough magic in the army - 1 lvl 1, 1 lvl 2, and then whatever the horrors are is not enough to cut through the usual magic defense - I would suggest not making the nurgle into a sorceror. Saves you points, and I don't think that one will make a difference, much of the time.

I applaud that you did not put the item that gives an ungodly # of attacks on the Bloodthirster - that item seems a bit broken to me.

Hope I get a chance to play against this army! Even though I'll lose...

Looks good chuck. There is an advantage to keeping he horror units separate-More dispel dice and the extra level one spell which is the one I use anyway. I choose the large unt of horrors cause I have two heralds and some bounds to support a good magic phase. A large unit of horrors can be a good tar pit as well.

I have found that Daemon princes are a bit overpriced... but you are playing with what you have in your basement. Love the bloodcrushers. Very good hitty unit although a bit vulnerable for their price. You cant beat a nurgle hearld in a unit. I prefer 15 over 10 but there are expensive moneywise. You cant go wrong with flamers... one of the best units in the game IMHO. If possible throw in another horror. I might have a spare disk if you need it to throw a horror on it and call it a herald. Daemons are a tough army (a bit broken in a couple respects) but I think they are very cool to play and look great on the table... but I am biased of course!-Brian

Ya i would prefer to have the horrors in a single larger unit backed up by another caster herald, but inorder to have the 3 core choices for a 2k game i had to split them.

The DP is a huge amount of points, im not sure how the army will work, but i think ill give it a whirl for some friendly games.

[ross]

i wouldn't mind playing the army, if i could get my car to work...

[hardihar]

have you tried putting Gas in it Ross? and sure give me some idea of when you can actually get to TP and we can see if your stunties are up for a fight.
