Daemons for NiCon

Next weekend is NiCon in the Hawkes Bay. This event moves around the North Island, last year being in Auckland. There it drew a very respectable field of 34 and I was lucky enough to win it with my Skaven.

This year - being in a smaller locale - it has drawn a much smaller field. Currently there are 12 players signed up for the event. I'm going up as part of a holiday with my wife, her sister and brother-in-law so adopted a pretty relaxed approach to the event. Over the past three months I've been painting Daemons and so I've built a list out of my most recent additions.


Lord of Change - Level 4 (Metal), Greater Gift, 2x Lesser Gift

Herald of Tzeentch - Level 2 (Tzeentch), BSB

20 Pink Horrors - Full Command

15 Pink Horrors - Standard

10 Pink Horrors - Standard, Gleaming Pennant

4 Beasts of Nurgle

3 Screamers

Flaming Chariot of Tzeentch - Blue Horror Crew

I've had a few practice games with the list and I am starting to get my head around it. It is very chaotic and sometimes you just have to accept what the dice throw up.

  1. Double cannons Pete, a bit cheesy isn't it?

    I can only assume you'll finally start to embrace the castle formation with those two buggers on the table?

    lol

    1. Yes to date it has been. I really haven't got my head around it as it struggles with no march rule.

      Also shot three times for two misfires and a Str 1 :-)

      However I love how my painted model came out

  3. It surprisingly robust and puts out 9 str 4 attacks each round. Problem is it has no armour bar a 5+ rerolleable 1 ward save.
