I'm not too keen on the sorceror. i think he is a little expensive. I always swear by a winged prince with MoN and possibly warptime or doombolt if you have the points.

Terminators are too expensive. Rather than upgrading them all to champions use those points to get 7 in the unit (very nurgle). Include a chainfist in the unit just in case you meet a vehuicle or an enemy dread charges you. Combi plasma I think is better than combimelta but if you feel you need the AT bonus then fine.

Troops: Possession is a bit expensive for the rhinos and the difference between it and extra armour is useful on vindicators but not worth it on rhinos. I would drop the power weapon from your intended deamon vessel. Swap flamers for plasmas and those combi bolters can be dropped for points or upgraded to combi meltas.

Oblits: nice

Greater deamon: also good.

Lesser deamons: I stopped using them since the new codex comes out but they can be a good tarpit unit.

Thank ye, the combi-weapons for the termies are all the same points so they can change when i feel, i could still add another one and a chainfist by taking out the veteran upgrades, i like the scorcerer especially against my friends Space wolves, with both psycic powers he shoots down 2-3 per turn and is a beast in combat. I am really putting in the lesser deamons because im gonna use the new crypt ghoul models to represent them and they are awesome also as a cheap(ish) bullet shield ^_^

I don't have the codex with me but just check if you can have 2 reaper autocannon in a 7 man terminator unit. Personally I think combi plasma on anyone who doesn't have a cchainfist and give combimelta or maybe single heavy flamer to the chainfist figures.

 

[Grimshaw]

Oh no they can't oh well ive taken it out now, only other changes I've made are...

1) Change termies to 5 models with two lightning claws each and 1 a.c.

2) Add in a unit of 4 bikes with a banner and 2 meltaguns

Bikes to turbo-boost on turn 1 and then summon in the deamons, they also have 2 melta guns in case they get a shot at a tank from close up.

Can you summon deep striking units to a banner still or is it just deamons?

Thanks for comments
