2250pt MSU Daemons

[ethsar46]

I figured I'd post this list up and see what people think. Its a VERY in your face list and has no magic phase at all.

The idea is to have a couple of small blocks and several fast moving units, this means I can be in combat with half my army by turn 2, and hopefully eliminating anymore incoming missile fire or magic.

Its usually best to go 6 wide on bletters for 2 reasons in my opinion:

1. More attacks means less attacks back hopefully.
2. If you are playing High Elves your T3 Bletters wont have many attacks back.

Otherwise looks like a fun in your face list.

Im thinking the -2 Ld banner isnt as useful for the points as I'd like. I really wanted it there so that opponents would fail fear tests (Being MSU means I wont likely outnumber) and will therefore hit on 6's. However given that the Herald will still be out of the 12" range when I start looking at charging on turn 2 its usefulness is diminished (except against large units or stubborn units). I'm thinking the +d3 Combat res banner will be a more effectient use of points.

I agree, the D3 Combat rez banner saves your life alot. I run a mostly khorne army so run with banner of sundering because I need all the magic assistance i can get, but when the time comes that I can diversify im taking the D3 combat banner as well.
