Some people will find it too dark for the setting. I personally think it’s perfect.
Which would you consider the best “kill anything” unit
I have always loved screamers but I never got them. I recently bought some and these guys were so much fun to paint I did it all in one sitting.
So I Only Player Tyranids so far and I want to Build a deamon army what Units combos Tipps and detachments U guys recormand?
I see most lists without any slanesh demons. Why aren't they used?
I have most of these units other than the flamers and the lord of change but I’m working on getting them soon. Let me know if this list is good or if there are any changes I should include.
I was talking to some folks at my LGS and brought up how I'd like there to be more unique non-monster daemons to use, like something between a Lord of Change and Pink Horrors or between a Bloodthirster and a Bloodletter. One of the guys there said that because in-universe, the factions of the setting have a set idea of what Daemons look like, that that's the only forms they can take? I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but he basically said that in the current time in 40k, GW can't just make a new type of daemon for each Chaos God without breaking their pre-established lore. Is that true? Honestly, it's a huge buzzkill since that basically means there's never really gonna be any *new* daemons in 40k at least, A.K.A. no new models that aren't resculpts. I'm hoping he has the lore wrong, and maybe some of y'all would be able to point to something that says otherwise.
Suffice to say, the Eldar player was not very happy about this.
So i'm a new daemon player. To give some information about me. I principally play Necron and Deathguard.
To make it quick i'm someone that like to play with centerpiece, i generally always bring one in any of my army list (mortarion, Silent king, C'tan) So since i'm a big tww3 fan and like belakor, i of course wanna play his detachement.
But i have a problem, i'm not good with daemon it seem. I think i'm lacking some dark enlightenment on how to play them.Any tips would be welcome to be honest.
First of all i'm gonna say i find the army rule about leaderships test pretty weak/irrevelant most of the time maybe i do something wrong ?
->I run Belakor with a Bloodthirster and fade to Darkness, they are my two center piece.
No complain about the bloodthirster because of Belakor aura, he can have a indecent range turn 1 and clear chaff and become more and more dangerous at each turn with some good rapid ingress threat.
But i have hard time using Belakor out of this. His range attack and sweeep on D1 dammage make me overstimate the dammage he does. His strike with D6+1 make him really swingy in the dammage he can does and i have hard time figuring with who he should go for the reroll hit +1.
I'm trying to have a chaos lord on terminator armor for the -1cp on Stratagem. It allow me to remove 2 units from battle field for free, doesn'T sound too bad for scoring.
Feel like dameon units are mostly really glass canon. The invulnerable at +5 and only T4 for most battleline and infantry and beast units doesn'T help. Tried Bloodletter, they soundeds good on that detachement, great mouvement and range to go into melee. They hurt yeah, but pratically anything kill the entire units and no fight first. No tanky units anywhere on army list out of some character and soul grinder. Most of the units just get wiped out if your opponent can force enough wound save because of evrything save on 5. Even on some wepaon i would consider 'Weak' with my other army can greatly weakening my daemons units.
I also run a soul grinder of Tzeentch for a little bit more anti vehicule and to replace him with Terminator lord and shot at something.
But it make alreayd a lots of big fig and all the map i play are generally full of building, so because of this i'm not a fan of Mounted units maybe it's a mistake, i dunno.
I'm also a bit lost on allied untis i should bring, tried Havoc, but wasn't a fan, i have 20 cultist mob to secure my zone and objective.
that's what i tested for now and i feel i still ddin't understand how to play dameon correctly
Feel like I don’t see these guys often and they’re a cool lesser demon model. Just finished painting these and can’t wait to field them.
Im pretty happy with how bright the blue turned out, I didn't want it to be too dark cause it doesn't match the other units imo. (Gonna paint the rim once the glue dries)
Thanks to finding a bunch of used models and going on a building spree, I'm having my first game with Daemons next weekend. But I can't seem to find much information on how to play Daemons.
What is the general strategy with our army? How many greater daemons should I keep in deep strike? How aggressive should I be?
Also, are there any good Youtube creators for our army?
My list is as follows:
Chaos - Chaos Daemons - Daemonic Incursion
Be'lakor (375pts)
Rotigus (265pts)
Shalaxi Helbane (340pts)
