===Magic Nuke=== One of the new tactics you can employ thanks to the release of Ritual of the Damned. Sick of that Tau, Guard, or Iron Hands player sitting in his castle every game? Take a Daemon Prince in a Cult of Magic detachment. Give him the new Cult of Magic WLT Devastating Sorcery, the new Relic Arcane Focus for a +1 to his psychic tests, and use Cabalistic Focus for +3. For this Daemon Prince from Hell, you'll want to take the psychic powers Infernal Gateway (WC8) from the Tzeentch discipline, Astral Blast (WC6) from Cult of Magic, and Gaze of Fate for insurance. Use any means at your disposal, whether it's the Dark Matter Crystal(You cannot actually use DMC on a DPoT unless he is the bearer.... In which case he does not have Arcane Focus so take your pick between mobility and more reliable Psychic tests), or Warptime slingshot, or whatnot to get him in position. Pick a really juicy target, particularly any large screen that could be within 3" of multiple enemy assets. Drone, Guardsmen, whatever. Cast everything: At +3 Infernal Gateway has a 83.3% chance of going off (27.8% chance of double MWs), Astral blast 97.2%, and Super Smite goes off at 41.7%. Thanks to the wording of Devastating Sorcery in the rulebook, not only is the main target taking an extra Mortal Wound with every power, so is every unit around him. Watch your target get obliterated by the blast of D6 + D3 + 2 Mortal Wounds, and everything 3" around him suffering D3+3, giving you a good chance of outright killing Characters caught in the blast, obliterating drones and putting a big hole in your opponent's castle to exploit. Keep your Daemon Prince screened and repeat until he is dead, and ignore any perils with a CP. A second delivery option is a Terminator Sorcerer with a chaos familiar, he is cheaper than a DPoT and can deepstrike innately. You will however have to use the Chaos Familiar stratagem to gain access to infernal gateway so you trade some pts for CP depending on your needs, with a familiar his first cast of the phase will be at +4 if you managed to pull this off and have him in range for Cabalistic Focus. You can also give him Boon of Mutation and hope for the +1 to cast. While by no means reliable, it will give you a chance of +5.
