Final Analysis - My list. Made some mistakes with the list, which is a shame. Should have had 2 squads of bikes and 1 squad of dogs. I haven't played with demonkin that much but I felt I did OK. The possessed really made their points back in a big way as I think my opponent underestimated them a bit. I really hate that skull cannons can't be taken as part of the slaughtercult or their own formation. I am also unsure about using the nurgle deamon elements of the list as they don't generate blood tithe. I just feel they are more survivable and can take a hit. I like the flexibility of the skull cannons and will try to field them in a different way.
My tactics - Not sure I made the right decision to charge the wraithblades as they are always a huge and deadly tarpit. I certainly forgot to utilize the preffered enemy psykers the first time I Charged which would have made quite a difference. I certainly always want to be charging not being charged by them. The wraithblades had been psychically improved to strength 8 which bypassed my FNP for the dogs. I also needed to claim the nearby objective so couldn't commit all my forces to that purpose. I might have broken off the lord to charge the artillery which would have improved his efficiency. Not sure how many attacks the skull cannon gets on the charge only two or three? I also could have used the plague drones more effectively to try and tie up the artillery.
My opponent - outstanding play by my opponent, he might have just tried to stand off and just fire with the wave serpent. I think his only tactical error was allowing me to get close.

I'd try to go all Khorne if you can. I feel like putting more fast units is the way to go. I've found the skull cannon to be great on paper but lukewarm on the field. On the other hand, maulerfiends are absolutely deadly to tanks. Ever used those? The possessed are surprisingly good in combat but slow. More like midfield surprise attack dudes. One problem I have with Daemonkin is remembering all the damn special rules. Did you remember all of yours with the Gorepack formation?
ReplyDeletenot at first I forgot the PE: psykers, but if My jugg lord doesn't have it and Im in a challenge do I still benefit?
ReplyDeleteMy eldar opponent often uses the conclave of psychic friends, so I thought about including Karnak from the demon book but I don't know if he join units of without Demonic instability. I figure it may be good to put him with the jugger lord and some dogs. Don't have any maulerfiends sadly, may get two eventually, but will need to space out the purchases.
Shit, yeah, PE psykers...Forgot all about that one...I think you still benefit even without the challenge. Remember too that the hounds come with the collar of Khorne, which grants a +2 Deny the Witch and you can dole out some Adamantium Will as well.
ReplyDeleteI think Karanak can join but he just won't gain any of the Daemonkin special rules.
ReplyDeleteCongrats man! You've procreated! You've done your job as a man.
