After playing an RTT and several practice games, I have come to the conclusion that my Disciples of Be’lakor list struggles too much against vehicles. With small vehicles like dreadnoughts, buggies, and others returning to the meta, this is a serious flaw. So I put that list back into storage.
To counter the updated meta, I thought I’d return to the concept I originally focused on: Greater Daemons. I still have a bit of testing to figure out how to best play it, but right now it seems to be an in your face list. It’s based off oft he Keeper of Secrets (KoS) list, but with Be’lakor and a Daemon Prince:
Slaanesh Patrol:
HQs:
Be’lakor, Betraying Shades, Pall of Despair, warlord
Exalted Keeper of Secrets, Hysterical Frenzy, Phantasmagoria, ritual knife
Troops:
10 Daemonettes
Slaanesh Patrol:
HQs:
Exalted Keeper of Secrets, Hysterical Frenzy, Delightful Agonies, ritual knife, forbidden gem
Shalaxi Helbane, living whip, Hysterical Frenzy, Pavane of Slaanesh
Troops:
10 Daemonettes
Elites:
3 Fiends
1 Bilssbringer, 2 Fiends
Undivided Patrol:
HQs:
Daemon Prince of Chaos, mark of Khorne, Skullreaver, wings
Exalted Lord of Change, Gaze of Fate, Infernal Gateway, Treason of Tzeentch, The Impossible Robe
Troops:
10 Daemonettes
The list starts with 2 CP, and I roll for random exalted traits. I need to get more games in to provide a strategy, and will need more experience to see how I adjust equipment. For the most part, the only areas to tweak are the load outs of the KoS. I like their ability to deal mortal wounds in combat with the ritual knife. The whip is still handy, and so is the sinister hand to regain wounds. I don’t have points to play around with the aegis to add 6+++.
I can also drop the Daemon Prince if I need something for more objective holding or to complete actions. I don’t think there are better offensive options since the KoS and Be’lakor provide it more efficiently. I could use a bloodletter bomb, but with only 2 CP it’s not practical to use it on putting them into deep strike.
