Give your lord twin lightning claws and MoK and is now ready to lay the smack down in close combat.

Greater daemon is nice but you don't have any other monstrous creatures for target saturation and in time a single G.D will die.

Chosen are mixed up with anti tank and then anti horde weapons. Give them all the same and drop the extra armour.

First CSM unit is ok but you don't need extra armour. Second CSM unit is messed up a lascannon for long range and a power weapon, you want long range get obliterators. Plague marines need a rhino.

Predators don't need daemonic possession or else you're hitting on 4+.

not sure if i would take a Greater Daemon even though it would be in fluff. he can't do anything the turn he comes in not even shoot, and i've alway seen them die easy. plus they cost a Champ, and Champs are more useful IMO.

Yeah it's great mate and the CSM player you play with should assault with them, not why they wouldn't as assault is all they can do and having it stand there a turn is dumb.

The rule is fonud under summoning daemons section ;)

My point is though flamer does nothing to vehicles and a single flamer doesn't scare hordes. So you should make sure they have all the same weapons and do the job right ;)

Just as a reminder and nothing more as I am sure you will know this already. Being able to assault when you outflank is no good if they arrive in their Rhino.. As a rhino is not an Assault Vehicle..

I like your list though mate it looks fun :D

Aye I know, but I wasn't refering to that. Greater daemons and daemons can assault from deep strike.

I'm not sure why you're refering to chosen assaulting when they outflank in a rhino :wink:

I do get your point Mercer. but like I said it's not my list. i would simply get another unit of chosen with flamers to make it a bit of fun.
like I said I wouldn't know myself Hesky. I don't like greater daemons at all. I rather get a DP and not lose a champ. but it's my friends list and he seems to love them. oh well just hope he has fun playing them

I'm sure you do catch my drift, however what's the point putting up your mates list if he isn't going to follow advice? He just want people to say how good it is?

Oh, btw, a bog standard champion and greater daemon works out to be cheaper than daemon prince with MoN.

No worries mucka ;)

Only time I'd assault with chosen from outflank is if they have power weapons, but you'd take terminators instead, right? :p
