New Chaos Daemon Codex List & Analysis: Part 4 (Pre-Adepticon)

This post was started prior to Adepticon. My Adepticon coverage will start tomorrow. Some of the views contained in this post do not represent those that I currently have with the daemon book, but since I wrote this, I figure it should be posted up, as the majority of my feelings on much of this is the same.


My goal with the new chaos daemon book was to have fun. That I have. I am eleven games in with the new codex and every one (well, except maybe one crushing loss) has been a very fun game. I love how aggressive I can be, and the fact that the army is so different each game (depending on rewards and psychic powers) keeps things fresh. I even have gotten in a game against the new Tau. I will use this post to show off a few of my converted models and talk about where I am headed as I go toward Adepticon next week.

Chasing Down Some Tau
Speaking of Adepticon, my army is very much not ready. I estimate that I am 44% done currently when it comes to building and painting everything (though my list for the championships changes every day), so this weekend will be key to getting things done. I have been working in the Bronx lately, so not having my models with me while out of state has slowed my progress down. A full weekend to hammer out the warhammers is something I have been looking forward to.


Here are my current list thoughts; I am very open to critiques and suggestions:




Daemon Prince (Nurgle/Armor/Wings/Level 3 Psyker/2 Greater Rewards)
Herald of Slaanesh (Steed/Exalted Loci/Greater Reward)
Herald of Khorne (Juggernaut/Exalted Reward/Greater Reward)
10 Horrors of Tzeentch
10 Plaguebearers of Nurgle
20 Seekers of Slaanesh
10 Flesh Hounds of Khorne

Daemon Prince (Tzeentch/Armor/Wings/Level 3 Psyker/Spell Familiar/Black Mace)
10 Cultists (Pistol/CCW)
Heldrake (Baleflamer)

Aegis Line (Quad Gun)
