Melee MSU [1500][3 CAD]

Trying something new. I figure Scoutshame and Lictorspam placed top 2 in the LVO, so I might as well imagine something just as loco. A bit concerned by my total lack of anti-air, and I'll struggle against a vehicle that I can't hit weak rear armor on, my only real AT being the Screamer squads... but I'm working with the minis I have available. S5 Furious Charge Hounds and S5 Heralds might well be enough to get rear armor AV10 down, against non-walkers...

Even if the enemy have a few Knights or vehicles I can't touch, I imagine that the sheer number of units and tarpits I have on the board will slow them down enough that I can still eke out a points based win. Maelstrom, especially.

Going for a combination of death by a thousand cuts and total threat overload--very mobile, very small squads, and everything that MSU has to offer. With any luck, big enemy shooty blobs will waste all their firepower vanishing a single 5-Hound block. HoS will hang at the back of Daemonette squads until the squad takes enough of a pounding that they have to shuck retinues and join a different squad (provided they haven't gone up in smoke with the unit), and will use their Steed movement to slingshot forward for an extra few inches of assault range, if necessary.

Deliberately surrendering First Blood here, obviously. Considering how many Daemonette w/ HoS on Steed squads and Seeker squads to Outflank in a given game--I obviously need space to deploy this horde, even if the Flesh Hounds are Scouting, but also need enough minis on the board that enemy shooting won't thin the herd so much that I trickle in piecemeal. The Warlord's Daemonettes, at least.

Could expand to 1750 or 1850 with a 4th HoS, 2 Nurgling Squads, and another 2 Flesh Hound squads.
