Farseer A goes inside the Serpeant with the Banshee squad to hunt any backline targets or any low reg. save tough targets, dooming the target squad for rerollable missed wounds Farseer B sticks with the Warwalkers and out flanks one side with Prism A, guiding the Warwalker squad to basically T-L their lasers. Dire Avenger squad A lines up on the opposite board, B is in the middle, claiming objectives or lighting up mobs/squads with bladestorm. Prism B starts in the middle and goes to either needed side. The Fire Dragons go tank/MC hunting. Speed and mobility wins the game.

First Wave:

Both Keepers of Secrets
All units of Fiends of Slaanesh
Plaguebearers

Second Wave:

All Daemon Princes
All Pink Horrors


The assault based units of Slaanesh engage the enemy as the shooting based units of Tzeentch hold back and shoot, and the plaguebearers claim an out of the way objective. If the enemy has a lot of armor, the Daemon Princes can be dropped closer, to help harass the tanks, and the fiends can hold back, to wait for the enemy to leave their vehicles.

Let the voting begin!

[Demon in White]

Well, my vote is heading the Eldar way I think, since this list is almost exactly the same as mine, with a couple of differences which I dislike. *looks suspicious* In any case, though I strongly disapprove of both the Warwalkers and the Fire Dragons...

I vote for Looks Like Fruit Juice.

I would give it to the eldar, as the daemons have few troop squads that are incredibly easy to kill offf, while the eldar can hide theirs in wave sepeants, at least to avoid the initial horrors, greater daemons and daemon princes shooting.

[Skarsgard]

Only two scoring units for the eldar will hurt. The bolts of change at strength 8 AP 1, will hurt the transports.

I see the daemons winning just by virtue of having some scoring units.

ps: with daemon armies can we get the split of preferred wave and non-preferred wave and if the player got the preferred wave? This is the big thing with daemons and may affect voting.

[Lemt]

The Daemons have invulnerables, and are hard to kill. But they also lack the firepower to bring down the eldar here. They have enough high strength weapons to kill the daemons from a safe distance, so even if some of them get caught up surprised by deep strike, Looks Like Fruit Juice has the upper hand.

[Pheonix Lord]

Aye, those waveserpents will save his bacon. Doubt the Deamons will be able to strike hard enougth to cripple the Eldar.

Massed shuriken / st6 / Fire prisms fire power..... Eldar get my vote.

PL

[Brother Tiberius]

i'll buck the trend here and say that the Daemons are getting my vote!

why you say? The princes... They are going to inflict a world of hurt onto any unsuspecting unit and since they deep strike... it could be anywhere or no-where.. still hit and miss but if they manage it (and i think they can) then the Eldar will be up "crap creek" without a paddle.

[karantalsis]

I think the Demons take this due to their Princes and the eldars small number of scoring units.

[simplebut]

my vote is for DAEMONS because of the lack of scoring units on the eldar side

[ThePorcupine]

I don't see the Daemons doing much to the fully mechanized Eldar here. Yes, the Princes can deepstrike and attempt to bolt a transport or two, but that seems to be the only trick up their sleeve. Pink Horrors also have the bolts, but they're BS3. If deep striking bolts don't take out the transports, then I think Eldar have this. They don't assault when they come in and the Eldar are free to disperse to a safe distance and rail the deep strikers. There's a whole lot of shuriken cannons and the fireprisms won't make things any easier. Eldar can kite the Deamons. Yes, this is objective based, but the Deamons don't have all that many models, and they're not that hard to take down.

Vote goes to Fruit Juice (Eldar).

[Demon in White]

5-4, another close one :)

~ DiW

[CryoGenFX]

I'm gonna go with a hunch here, and regrettably cast my vote for the thrice damned Daemons of Chaos. The eldar have little in the way of scoring units, which hurts, and three daemon princes are more then enough for most people to handle, but I think it will be a close one. but I tip the scales in favour of the daemons myself.

[farmpunk]

I think Eldar will actually pull it off. The daemon troops are paper-thin. I think the Eldar will not have a lot of problems cutting them down, and outskirting them.

[Dragannia]

Even against the Daemon Princes, the Scatter Lasers on the War Walkers and the Shuriken Cannons, as well as the bountiful small arms, will make short work of them with the aid of Doom. Fire Dragons will take them down just that much quicker. The Daemons themselves aren't too shabby but their mediocre saves and low toughness will be their end. Combined with the superior mobility of the Eldar and the protection of their scoring units by virtue of being in transports, I'd have to say the Eldar take this one.

[MentosMkr]

If the Daemons stick to the plan and stick the Princes with the Horrors on objectives i dont see them giving up ground anytime soon. As a group they can even push the Eldar off objectives, tanks or no tanks, MCs can smash tanks with they're 2d6 pen rolls and plentiful amounts of attacks to down the skimmers. The Eldar are good but still not enough troops for the job.

I have to give the edge to the Daemons.

[CrownAxe]

Daemons, 2 KoS, 3 DPs with Bolt and 3 units of Fiends will rip through all of those vehciles, and then proceed to eat the tasty eldar

[Elric of the void]

Daemons,
They have more scoring units as well as a means to deal with the mechanized problems[the princes and horrors] granted the dice gods are not against them.

[ThePorcupine]

Voting is now closed. The winner is Slaanesh-Tzeentch Frenzy.
