Total Roster Cost: 2000

You are a bit on the slow side, and against fast armies you'll have problems--that's just the way it is. You have a handful of faster units, those units goals is to push forward and lock units in position for your other units to arrive and slaughter them.

Note that the 4 Heralds of Khorne, the 9 Bloodcrushers, and the 3 Soulgrinders are quite similar to a Demonzilla list. This one is slow, but has more wounds to go around and more units to split the enemies fire.

Wave 1:

4xHeralds, 3xBloodcrushers, 3xSoulgrinder.

Wave 2:

5xPlaguebearers, 3xFlesh Hounds.

Simple enough really, put the scary stuff down and if you fail...you get resilient stuff and some fast cavalry and you have 10 units to roll for on turn 2. Half should come in, which should make things easier as all of them are quite dangerous. :)

This is an awesome post. As a Space Marine player relatively new to the game (8 months in) and a longtime fan of the video games and novels, I found this to be very helpful as I move toward my second army; Chaos Daemons.

Bought the codex, but was having trouble deciding what was worth the points.

I'm leaning toward this list even though my bikes as troops SM list is highly mobile and that tends to be my play style.

My game club tends to play 1500pt games exclusively with a strong tendency toward objective based games lately.

What would you suggest to keep this list killy and survivable while cutting 500pts?

Won't these Heralds of Khorne be 125p each? (Iron Hide is not included for the Herald) i.e. this army will be 2060p...
How is the best way to reduce 60p from this army?

I just started playing 40k and started with daemons. Found your site to be very informative and helpful. Thanks!

Chariot grants Iron Hide.

To go down to 1500 points I would cut 2 heralds, 1 crusher unit, and 1 grinder. If that's not enough cut plaguebearer bodies until it is.
