The list looks really good, thank you very much for working on it. I'm very interested in what the "Daemon Lord" upgrade will entail. I think limiting the daemonic assault rule to a 1 to 1 ratio would work well, the 2 to 1 ratio might be too powerful - but we can always play test it. I have built most of the daemon options for this list, so I will try to get in some games this winter.
I would like to suggest that all Daemonic Heralds be given the "Leader" ability to reflect their position of honor/authority in the fluff and to balance out the penalties of daemonic instability combined with activating on a 2+.
I noticed that the Soulgrinder has a movement of 15cm, while the Chaos Defiler has a 20cm move. They both use the same chassis and are both piloted by a daemon - shouldn't the Soulgrinder's speed be upped to 20cm?
I also noticed that Plague Zombies are still listed on the unit stats sheet.
Thanks again for working on this list!
Hi Chris,
Thanks for commenting - always a good thing
I want to get at least a quick game in with the changes before adding any more, but I'll give you my thoughts for now.
1) The Daemon Lord upgrade was an attempt to bulk out the options of the list slightly, and to represent the kind of exalted Greater Daemons currently produced by forgeworld - old, exceptionally powerful daemons. I was thinking possibly DC6 with god-appropriate abilities. It would give the list something big, chunky ad dangerous, but with the down side that is likely to be BTS AND SC.
2) With Daemonic assault, I want to have a couple of trial games, just little ones, to see how it feels both as the daemon player and as the opponent. I am still open to tinkering with it - I want to keep it as I think it adds to the flavour, but I see it being a nightmare to balance.
3) Leader seems a sensible addition - possible points bump, but that can be taken into account once I get around to sorting out ALL the points costs than need work.
4) Good spot - Souldgrinder will go to 20cm in the next update
5) and another good spot - will be deleted
