TRC, you are having it both ways! Either 3 Ferals, a common sight in those UK tourneys IIRC, are WE horde and abusive, or they aren´t a problem.
In any case, less than 2000 points of whatever current BL should be smashed by 3000 points of any other army, if that weren´t the case, indeed we´d have a problem.
Ginger suggested
Chosen formation (6), with Icon bearer, Chaos Champion, Daemon Prince and Pact: 565
two of these run @1130 points, add 2 GDs and a couple of LDs and we are getting close to 1500 points.
3 Ferals, another 900, leaving some 600 points to get more activations. Maybe a Retinue, a Forlorn Hope and Bikers if you cut some daemons and don´t upgrade those formations.
The problem remains that close to half your army is tied in two slow, foot slogging formations whose main capability is assault. I have played such lists, and drop variants thereof, and can honestly say I would not field them in a tourney because the element of chance, in winning strategy, summoning a GD, winning that assault is just too large.
Another thing: Teleporting two formations means you´ll have to activate them both and can´t spare an activation for prep fire, which is often critical with teleporter assaults as the attackers invarably have BMs on them.
Now, the large Chosen formation:
8 Chosen, DP, IB, Pact, Champ or +3 Oblits:
for 695 (Champ) or 870 points (Oblits), plus 2-300 points of daemons:
2000-odd points left to hold the line, should let you keep your BTS, will not clear Blitz and T&H except under very favourable circumstances, wouldn´t a 4-strong formation with Pact achieve much the same on the objectives front while costing less than half? Or two fo them?
I fail to see how it could be game breaking, which would be your point?
