List Building List advice for new dispositions

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I haven't played much of 11th edition yet, and I want to know how my 10th edition army carries over to 11th. I wanted to build an army that has units from all the gods as Id get bored of painting the same colour scheme for 2000 points, so last edition I chose daemonic incursion. In 11th it has the disruption disposition, which from a very surface level research is more about board control and less killing stuff. I don't know how it plays against other dispositions, and If anyone here can advise me on whether my list fits with the disposition that would be appreciated

Chaos - Chaos Daemons - Daemonic Incursion - Disruption

Skarbrand (315pts): Warlord

Great Unclean One (265pts)

Keeper of Secrets (255pts)

Lord of Change (300pts)

List Building Is Belakor a auto-include?

4 Upvotes

I was tinkering with my list and checking the lists here on Reddit and was wondering if I really have to take Belakor to be somewhat competitive.
Not that I don’t like him. And how many points does the list need to be, so he don’t swallows like 40% of my points.

Screamers as anti tank and monster, flesh hounds to screen deepstrike

Horrors idk I just think they’re cool?? And get assault keyword from warp tide

Lord + 10min chosen with fade to darkness basically just to go delete things and clear obj

Havocs for some long range shooting

Sorc Lord to deepstrike and -1 ap something for army using like a per turn veterans ability

I want to keep it thematic and fun but are there any glaring issues? :)

Thoughts on underplayed units

4 Upvotes

Hey all! Im going to try out some underused units, just seeing if anyone here has some experience with them to let me know if I'm barking up the wrong trees. Playing shadow legion and cavalcade

Fiends - they look good on paper. Im thinking about using them as a substitute for fleshhounds. Slightly less mobile, slightly more killy. I see the meta progressing towards midrange infantry a lot, so they would do well against that. Then again, so would Hounds.

Pink Horrors - -2 to be hit seems pretty good alongside their split ability. A little pricey, but then again so is all our infantry. As long as they dont get wiped in one round of shooting or melee, they're essentially a 25 man squad with a 4++. They're slightly tanker than they used to be, so im considering it.

Havoks - I was already using these, but now their ability to ignore modifiers to hit rolls and ballistic skill seems genuinely useful. Considering adding an extra squad, one las and one changing. Since they're now basically ignores cover, the low AP of the chain gun is less relevant. What do you guys think?

My daemon army is Tzeentch centered; so other gods' units are cursed to mark their enslavement to my main greater daemon. In the case of Slaanesh, they are turned into living statues in order to deprive them of their senses. I like to imagine that they leverage it to play with their prey's nerves in vicious mind game hunting parties.

9 Upvotes

Hi,

wanna play Rotigus + 2 GUO and find it boring to field the same modell 3 times. So i decided to build my own.

I got a Knight Castellan, a Earthshaker Batterie and a AOS Troll.

I‘ll start to burn the knight down to 10-11cm in high and i Hope i got some nice molten stuff, bubbles etc.

Ordered a 130mm base + got the GW GUO Kit here for some extra bits (i build Rotigus)

Lets see what we get. I keep this thread updated.

I Hope i can finish „him“ sunday :)

//update: we burned him down, we got a head, a „leg“ and 2 wheels. I continue in the next days with Nurgle bits and around 2000 nurglings.

Lets see how far we can go

Ive been building a plauge legion list a little after I finished my death guard.

I was excited about 11th with thr change to battleshocks.

But fly and battleshock units seem like they will get a increase in points

Whats your guess on how much this list is about to go up in points. My guess is around 150 if not more
