A list reborn



In the wake of Lincon I have a RTT coming up in 3 weeks. It is 2000 points ITC and the list I have been tinkering with has some elements from my last tournament list.

Here is the list I am thinking about…

Daemon Battalion (Chaos Undivided)
Poxbringer
Sloppity Bilepiper
12 x Pair of Brimstone Horrors
29 x Plaguebearers (Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos)
29 x Plaguebearers (Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos)

CSM Spearhead (Alpha Legion, Soulforged Pack)
2 x Lord Discordant on Helstalker (Baleflamer, Mark of Nurgle, Techno-virus injector)
3 x Hellforged Deredeo Dreadnought (Butcher cannon array, Greater havoc launcher, Twin heavy bolter)

Thousand Sons Supreme Command
Ahriman
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch (Malefic talon, Wings)
Sorcerer in Terminator Armour (Force staff, Inferno Combi-bolter)

9CP, 2,000pts

The idea is that the Disco Lords continue to act as distraction fexes and the Deredeos continue to doing their thing (mostly securing Kill/Kill More). 

While my two units of Plaguebearers grab the board. The large units of daemons should go relatively untouched until the Disco Lords are gone so I should have some time to move the screen up the board to get my Thousand Sons psykers in range of hurting my opponent.

I’ve played Daemons/Thousand Sons before but I found that even if the list was good, it was far to easy for the opponent to make the right decision. You always shoot the Plaguebearers first, and once they die, you are left scrambling to keep your characters alive. My idea is that it will be much harder for my opponent to prioritize targets when you have three Deredeos and two Disco Lords to deal with on top of the daemon horde they need to kill to reach the psykers.

I will try to get some test games in and see where it goes, my gut tells me that this list could be very strong.

CSM Supreme Command (The Flawless Host, Soulforged Pack) 3 x Lord Discordant on Helstalker (Baleflamer, Slaanesh, Techno-virus injector) CSM Spearhead (The Purge) Sorcerer with Jump Pack (Bolt pistol, Force sword, Nurgle) 3 x Hellforged Deredeo Dreadnought (Butcher cannon array, Greater havoc launcher, Nurgle, Twin heavy bolter) 2 x Heldrake (Baleflamer, Heldrake claws, Nurgle) Daemon Battalion (Chaos Undivided) Poxbringer Sloppity Bilepiper 2 x 10 Pair of Brimstone Horrors 28 x Plaguebearers (Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos) 1999pts, 9cp This is a new list I'm contemplating, the reason being that my Disco Lords seldom survive past turn one, at the most turn two. The idea is that by adding Heldrakes to the list, and adding one more Disco Lord I will get a much larger forward threat, if I get first turn the Heldrakes can storm forward and hope to force my opponent to deal with them first. If all goes well that would ease up on the pressure my Disco Lords are fee
