My Army List

Ok so I wrote a list right before the release of 6th.  Based on what I wanted to do, what the interwebs seemed to think was effective, and overall trying to maintain a balance between effectiveness and theme.  The list I came up with follows:


Keeper of Secrets


2 Heralds of Tzeentch
- Master of Sorcery
- We are Legion
- Bolt of Tzeentch

15 Blood Letters

7 Plague Bearers

7 Plague Bearers

10 Seekers of Slaanesh

6 Blood Crushers of Khorne

Daemon Prince
- Mark of Nurgle
- Iron Hide
- Unholy Might
- Daemonic Flight

1500 points roughly... 1496 I think...

I played my first game with it on Wednesday July 4th against Imperial Guard.  My opponent also took a list similar to what he would have taken last edition.  We got Purge the Alien with the short edge deployment (can't remember the name).  By turn 5 I had 11 VP (8 units killed, Warlord killed, First Blood, Unit in opponent's deployment zone) to his 3 VP (2 Units killed, Warlord killed).

Now, in fairness, he had a unit of Plague Bearers, the Blood Letters, the Seekers and the Blood Crushers all down to 1 wound each.  But even if I give him all those units I still won 11 to 7.

So you would think this was a resounding success, right?  Not so much, I got lucky, alot.  That unit of Plague Bearers should have died turn 1 to shooting.  My Keeper which eventually died, should have died a turn earlier than he/she did.  It took a turn longer than I wanted to kill his tank.  He only have one piece of armor, more would have been very problematic.

So I am going to make a couple changes for next game:

Out:
Both Heralds of Tzeentch
One Blood Crusher

In:
Soul Grinder w/ all 3 shooting attacks
The Masque

Hopefully I will get another game soon to test this.  I'll keep you posted.
