Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Chaos Daemons (section)

===Smite Spam===
You get a lot of psykers with Horror, Heralds and Greater Daemons. Everyone of them knows Smite and Smite can be cast on a 5 (~83% chance for normal psykers) and deals an average of 2 mortal wounds. Even your Horrors get a 1/3 Chance to cast it BUT remember that <strike>only Pink Horrors can cast it</strike> Brimstone Horrors are removed as casualties when chosen as the casting model, so you want a Blue or Pink Horror in the mix. 1 Blue Horror and 9 Brimstone Horrors is a whopping <strike>23</strike> 32 points with the latest FAQ/CSM codex. You can cast it into melee while you tie them up with Plaguebearers and Horrors but keep in mind that you have to cast it on the next enemy unit. Hell, you can even Smite vehicles and flyers now. Great against expensive units like Terminators, Marines and other 1-2 wound models. Sucky against Hordes but even there it will add up. LoC get a +2 bonus on the psyker test and will more likely get D6 mortal wounds on the enemy - deadly with a re-roll. 
You are a horny Khorny? Too bad for you...
* Note that this was severely nerfed in the latest FAQ and CSM codex. Brimstone horrors now costs 3 points instead of 2, also their smite only does 1 point of damage if you have less than 10 pink horrors in the unit.
