2k Mono Slaanesh

[oCoYoRoAoKo]

Fantasy Army: DoC

So with the release of the new kits for Daemons i thought i would dig out my old army and spruce it up a bit. Heres what ive come up with:

Lords: 24%

Keeper of Secrets: 490
Torment Blade, Level2

An old Favourite of mine. Dropped Siren Song as 80% of the time I'm not using it, and increased his wizard level to 2 - this seems to be working a little better

Heroes: 25%

Herald of Slaanesh: 285
Exhalted Chariot, Torment Blade

On paper this girl looks very good - 2D6+1 Impact Hits, 4 Poisoned steed attacks, 10 Daemonette/Exhaulted Alluress and another 5 Herald attacks with ASF. This should be able to put a dent in most rank and file units. After the first round its down to just the 19 attacks which is still very respectable

Herald of Slaanesh: 95
Torment Blade

Herald of Slaanesh: 120
Torment Blade, BSB

Join my Daemonettes for a 7x3 formation

Troops: 27%

20 Daemonettes: 270
Full Command

20 Daemonettes: 270
Full Command

20 Strong with or without a herald depending on watchtower

Rare: 24%

SoulGrinder: 310
Baleful Torrent, Daemonbane Claw

A monstrous fire-thrower? yes please

1 Fiend of Slaanesh: 55

1 Fiend of Slaanesh: 55

And then the Fiends. Always a must. The unit of 2 has been reduced to 1 for points.

Total: 1995

Any thoughts?

I'm interested in how this list works out in games. I've always been worried with mono-slaanesh daemons that you just don't get enough infantry (considering their fragility) to stand up against a lot of other armies.

I'm interested in how this list works out in games. I've always been worried with mono-slaanesh daemons that you just don't get enough infantry (considering their fragility) to stand up against a lot of other armies.

So Ive tweaked the list a little after some games (and now i have 50 points in hand with little to spend it on except more daemonettes (or maybe that tasty stubborn for the first round of combat banner on one of the units).

My last game was a resounding success (vs Beasts - Beastlord, GBS, BSB, lvl1, lvl2, Herdstone, 40 Gor, 40 Ungor, 30 Bestigor and some harpies). The level 2 keeper is working better then the level1 siren song keeper (phantasmagoria and stupidity ray in my last game, a powerful combination).

One unit of daemonettes proved to be more then a match for the ungor, though the other unit fared badly against the gor (Though TBH, i just threw them in to hold them up for a couple of turns. Stubborn banner would have been great here). The keeper and chariot rolled up the unit of bestigors in a couple of turns, wiping them out as opposed to making them flee.

The soul grinder performed very well, melting bestogor with its flame canon and then holding up the gors until the keeper could get a rear charge in. Overall, i won by wipeout. Not bad at all
