I am starting a tzeentch warband (1500pts) and i cannot decide help me.
Wind of chaos and warptime are my favourite powers, need to include them and a MOT.

Daemon Princes cannot join a squad so i wouldnt give him a lot of stuff. Usually i just give him wings and a mark of nurgle with nurgles rot. Sometimes he has wings and mark of khorne. Its up to you but if you want psychic abilities then give them to your sorcerer

I would go with sorcerer with lash of submission. You can have this on a prince but he can't hide in a unit. V. useful spell.

It is powerful but i would rather go for more destructive spells e.g warptime, wind of chaos, on a 4+ reroll they die, no armour saves, just take a wound, great for hordes and terminators. hey i just thought of something!
Is it better to have a vindicator for its demolisher cannon or a sorcerer(daemon prince) with those psychic powers(wt and woc). they both do the same thing. but the vindicators a tank an d a sorcerer isn't. hmm, what do you think

 

[maddermax]

well, either HQ with that setup would cost the same, so it really depends on the type of army you play. If you have an assault army, then a DP can be great, good in combat and even if he gets shot at (as he can't hide in a unit) he's taking the heat off your other units.
On the other hand, Tzeentch armies tend to be more shooty, if this is the case, then a sorc. is the best option, hide him in a unit and use his powers when the enemy gets close.
always go wings (or bike if you take a sorc.), the added manouverabilty comes in very handy, even if the rest of your army doesn't move that fast.

go with daemon prince with warptime and wind of chaos, thats what i do and he's very nasty

 

[gdog]

yes thanks for your comment and I now agree with you.

 

[gdog]

to cooldudezkill would you rather take a vindicator or daemon prince with those powers

I would go with a Sorcerer. Mine came through alot for me and I have yet to see a Daemon Prince do much, in my experiance it is usually the first to die.

this is supposed to be a tzeentch list, the hq should not have a different mark.

see above.



since this is a tzeentch list, I assume there will be tsons squads. if so, there will be alot of sorcerers in the form of aspiring sorcerers leading the tsons squads. take a daemon prince to add to the close combat ability of your force. add some summoned daemons and have a good start on a theme. maybe some defilers or other daemonicaly possessed vehicles.

I give my Demon Prince Bolt of Change and Doombolt.
He's a monstrous creature, so he can use them both as they're shooting (backed up by the official FAQ).

Seriously, Gdog - none of these new threads you've started are lists. They're not supposed to be here. They go in Tactics, m'kay?

Oh, and Sorcerers. Definitely sorcerers. MoT, Warptime, and their standard-issue force weapon, and you're off to the races :grin:[/hypocrisy].
