===Fast Attack=== *'''Flesh Hounds of Khorne''' - Good points: They're fast, so can both get to grips with as well as pretty much steamroll over any non-melee unit that isn't wearing power-armor. That and they're virtually immune to Psychic attacks & Force Weapons (i.e. THE GREY MOTHERFUCKING KNIGHTS). Bad points: Their attacks don't ignore armor saves so anything that's as tough as a Space Marine will laugh them off, the Grey Knights are totally boned as every single motherfucker has a Force Weapon (and NO you can't choose not to use it, what you gonna do, hit them with your Storm Bolter?), but they're too expensive for what they do. (Seriously. What dedicated melee units CAN'T beat a ranged squad in melee?) **'''Karanak''' - A hound with a slightly bumped up statline and rending. He also gives his squad move through cover which helps their survivability a little. Still he fails to solve the Flesh Hound's identity crisis and makes them considerably more expensive in the process. Also makes them Elites choices when you'd want them to stay as Fast Attack. *'''Furies of Chaos''' - Statline like a marine except they fight like guardsmen. Wings gives them the mobility needed to run around putting out fires, but its about all they have going for them. They're a tarpit. A speedy, ridiculously overpriced tarpit. You can cry now. *'''Screamers of Tzeentch''' - Tzeentch got sick of people bitching about Chaos' lack of anti-tank so he stuck wings on some meltabombs and let them loose. They '''will''' get mowed down if properly targeted/assaulted, so be sure you're using them tactically to herd enemies or as a '''small''' suicide squad, although they have 2 wounds now. Note that they have <s>ONE</s> THREE attack each, meaning their chances of hitting a moving vehicle are <s>somewhere in the neighborhood of "never."</s>much better than before. Now they have a new "Slashing Attack" Special Rule, allowing D3 S4 AP- autohits on unengaged enemy models by turbo boosting over them. Watch blobs and light vehicles get ripped to little shreds by your 25pt models, even Terminators weep when they realise how many AP2 attacks six Screamers can dish out. *'''Seekers of Slaanesh''' - More glass cannon-y than any other Slaaneshi daemons, so pray to Slaanesh your enemy doesn't have any guns free. *'''Blight Drone (Forgeworld)''' - A fast <s>skimmer</s> FLYER with a reaper autocannon and a mawcannon (Phlegm and Vomit only). At 120 pts., it's a nifty fast attack vehicle. The downside? It's BS2. Still, probably your best bet for a fast attack choice since it's a good load of dakka on a flyer, which many armies lack effective counters. Beware that these explode when destroyed (wrecked/explode) so keep them away from squishy friendlies.
