This army list is a slight alternative to my previous 1500 point army list that I took to GT2009. In some ways, it is an earlier evolution of the same list, but one that I have returned to in recent times. It is also an evolution of the changes that I shadowed much earlier.
To be clear: this is not a top-tier daemons list. It is one that I use to introduce other players to daemons. Hence you will see things like instruments on the daemonettes and unholy might on screamers. I don't make such upgrades to proper tournament lists.
HQ:
Herald of Khorne on Juggernaut with Unholy Might (120 points)
Troops:
10 Bloodletters (160 points)
11 Bloodletters (176 points)
10 Plaguebearers with icon and instrument (180 points)
10 Plaguebearers with icon and instrument (180 points)
10 Daemonettes with transfixing gaze and instrument (150 points)
Fast Attack:
6 Screamers with unholy might (101 points)
Heavy Support:
Daemon Prince with daemonic flight and iron hide (170 points)
Daemon Prince with iron hide and daemonic gaze (130 points)
Daemon Prince with iron hide and daemonic gaze (130 points)
In many ways, it is very illustrative of what daemons can do without being over the top in any particular direction. It struggles with fully mechanized army lists and doesn't like Tau flechette dischargers especially. But I like to use it with people who have never faced daemons before. I suspect that there must be other people out there who use under-powered lists to introduce other players to some of the other (more rare) races and codices.
