Editing Warhammer Army Project/Daemons of Chaos (section)

==Tactics==


===COME AT ME, BRO!===
Whether you plan on fielding a mono-god army will severely affect how you build your army. Mono-god armies can work very well. Mixed armies will take some time to find your way of using them. In my experience, an all Nurgle army can be almost indestructible, especially with Epidemius giving the whole army continuous buffs. Taking a horde of about 30-50 plague bearers (390-650pts) with a herald with the 5+ poison locus can make this a very daunting prospect. In addition, fielding a unit of 6 Beasts of Nurgle (easily possible in 1000pts) can make for a beastly 6d3+12 attacks unit; 2 of these can get your opponent to instantly give up (even before the game has begun, in my case).

If you take a greater daemon, then you should, if you can, make them at least level 2. I personally wouldn't bother fielding a greater daemon in anything under 2000 points, daemon princes, however, act as a fairly kickass replacement in 1600 battles. The named greater daemons are good, but they tend to be a bit pricy. You should really always be taking a herald and more than often give them some loci or another, just for the added kick.

===Daemon Horde===
Take a core unit 10 wide and 4-5 deep (40-50 models for 480-600 pts.!) and load with one herald. Tactics differ depending on the core choice:

* ''Bloodletters:'' Insert Herald with gifts, an icon, and standard and/or Skulltaker. March out into the middle of the board and be sure to get the charge for the extra S p. Be sure to support the flanks (preferably with BoNs), or your shit will get fucked up. Watch the fuck out for Chariots and Monstrous anything.

* ''Plaguebearers:'' 30 of these badasses, a level 1 herald hopefully with the curse of the leper and the greater locus and *BAM* your unit is tough as nails. Poisoned makes them cause a whole lot of pain for anything tougher than them.

* ''Horrors:'' Insert a Herald with Master of Sorcery and/or standard. I usually start with a unit of ten w/ herald, and as they cause unsaved wounds (made easy because of the exulted locus giving +1 S to their spells), they gain more daemons at the expense of the enemies dead. 

* ''Daemonettes:'' can work well with a unit of 10-20 running 12" ahead and tying up or Even killing any enemy vanguard; however, if you do this, it's properly not worth adding the herald if you do that.
