  • Hey guys! Today I'll be going over what units I consider the very best for Chaos Daemons as well as some various tips for writing a competitive army list, neat combos & advice for bringing along Chaos Knight allies. We'll also go over some lists that show off Chaos' true power, including the 2k Chaos Daemons list that managed a 4th place finish (!!!) at the very recent Warhammer 40k Tacoma Open (~400 player event) run by general Matthew Geyer, along with a few lists written by Yours Truly for each Chaos God
    We'll go over every Chaos god & what their best options might be: Nurgle with his Rotigus combos, Slaanesh with Shalaxi / Keeper of Secrets to act as hammers, Khorne with his Bloodcrushers + Bloothirsters & finally Tzeentch with his Lord of Change & Flamers - among other unit combos. We'll touch on some of the best allies Chaos has to offer Daemons as well
    I'm working on a Chaos Space Marine's focused video that goes over the best Chaos Demon allies to bring along, as well as info for Thousand Sons, Death Guard, World Eaters & Chaos Knights. Please let me know if you have any content in particular you'd like to see, suggestions are always appreciated!
    Please consider liking & subscribing if you haven't already, I really couldn't be here without you guys so sincerely thank you all so much for coming along with me!

    I played a 1000p game recently and the highlight of the game for me were: Beasts of Nurgle with Horticulus (really deadly , really tanky !). Unit of Pink Horrors lead by Fluxmaster - they lasted 3 full turns denying an objective from a unit of terminators shooting and fighting them ! They ended up being a lot more durable than a unit of Plaguebearers I had as well. Highly recommend that combo (Fluxmaster + Pinks). Deepstrike them on an objective that is far / difficult to reach and see your opponent grind his/her teeth trying to get rid of them haha. Or even better - buff their shooting by having Lord of Change nearby (within 6"). :)

      Yeah Custodes are a rough match up. Not sure if you have the models but some shooting will go a long way vs them. Optimally Lord of Change but only if you have the models. If you don't have much shooting, honestly I'd play a scoring focused list & avoid most melee vs Custodes - if you have to get into assault use multiple units so at least one can get some damage in. That or find some sacrificial lambs to screen with / distract while you go score

Belakor, Bloodthirster with Argath, Great Unclean One with Endless Gift, Keeper of Secrets with Souldrinker, and Lord of Change with the Everstave. Leaves ~450 pts to fill in with troops.

    Hey Fat Archon, loving the content you've been putting out. Is there any chance you could clarify why the lord of change is so good in your eyes? I look at the profile and worry the bolt of change strenth is just too low to handle all the knights and battle tanks of my local opponents, even with its own +1S buff and the relic on one. I guess it is very cheap at 230 points.
    I'm building mono-tzeentch and was wondering how effective three lords of change would be in a list, or maybe even 3 plus fateweaver. I do like the strength buff on fateweaver's indirect fire.

    • @fatarchon
      @fatarchon  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Hey man, glad you dig the videos! So, LoC almost completely comes down to that points efficiency. 230pt for T10 18W 4++ is insanely good, one of the better T10 profiles in the game at that cost. For comp play I would 100% bring x2-3 of them, genuinely it will earn it's points back. Besides, what other *ranged* AT options do we have? Soul Grinder & maybe Exalted Flamer otherwise not too many to choose from hah. Toss in the Sustained d3 or Lethal Hits etc & you've got an MVP on your hands. I'd bring Belakor over Kairos but if you're skipping Belly then yeah Kairos would be a great fit too - the 'One Head Looks Back' can be a game winner

    Would this tactic be any good?
    Use Rotigus with the “denizens of the warp” stratagem to get him just outside 3in and if they don’t position correctly you put it in range of an objective marker.
    He has a decent range attack since you can’t charge and he halves the OC of enemy units. With him being 5oc, he could drop in and snipe objective markers from troop units not screening well.

      So they can either dedicate fire on Rotigus to clear off from objective. Or have to worry about my Be’lakor Death Star charging at their main force.

    • @fatarchon
      @fatarchon  Před 7 měsíci

      I believe they got a price drop since I recorded this but I really like Screamers atm. It almost entirely comes down to their profile but 14" 3W/4++ is damn fair for 80pts (that movement alone can be a game winner). Personally I'd stick to MSU & making scoring their primary focus but yeah, they're better than most of our troops options so can totally have a place in Daemons. Fly's not as big as it used to be but it's still handy to have, esp for faster units

    Using your Wise Advice and because I didn't want to just copy that winning list of Matt's I came up with this:
    Battle Size: 2. Strike Force (2000 Point limit)
    Be'lakor [325pts]: Warlord
    Horticulous Slimux [120pts]
    Bloodthirster [320pts]: A'rgath, the King of Blades [20pts], Great axe of Khorne
    Daemon Prince of Chaos [245pts]: Nurgle, The Endless Gift [30pts]
    Lord of Change [255pts]: Rod of Sorcery, The Everstave [25pts]
    Lord of Change [230pts]
    Lord of Change [230pts]
    Flamers x3 [65pts]
    Flamers x3 [65pts]
    Flamers x3 [65pts]
    Beasts of Nurgle [75pts]
    ++ Total: [1,995pts] ++

    What about the Knight Abominant, to cause more battleshock tests?

    • @fatarchon
      @fatarchon  Před 8 měsíci +1

      *Competitively* speaking, I think the issue I have with the Abominant is that the other knights just bring so much more for points you're paying. That's a clever idea tho, I never considered using it for more battleshock tests but even with that I'd rather have some good ranged options to help shore up something Daemons are normally lacking - the no AP on its main gun holds it back in that regard imho. It having the Psychic keyword is also a pretty big vulnerability, granted I don't see much so it's not as big of deal as I made it in my Chaos Knights review. On the other hand, it's still a giant T12 22W monstrosity with at least some shooting + the morale combo that it's not at a terrible choice or anything - for a more casual match I think it'd do just fine! Esp versus armies that don't have the best armor saves. That's my pov at least, hope it helps :)

    I thought kairos will only increase the cost by 1cp, so every time they use the stratagem for normally 1 cp it cost 2cp? That is wrong ? ^^
    And how it is, when an armyrule says " u can use 1 stratagem for 0 cp?" The cost from kairos goes on top of that? So it cost 1cp, than 2 and so on, instead of 0 ?

    • @fatarchon
      @fatarchon  Před 11 měsíci +2

      Originally I thought it was like that too but RAW Kairos is unique. Cypher for example from CSM says "until the end of the battle, increase that
      Stratagem’s cost to your opponent by 1CP." whereas Kairos instead says "until the end of the battle, *each time* your opponent uses that
      Stratagem, increase its cost to your opponent by 1CP." - unless I'm reading it wrong looks like it goes off each time. As for still costing CP, it's in the Developer Commentary FAQ on the last page I believe, basically they say ~" addition comes *after* modifiers". So it gets modified to 0, then you add whatever cost. Works for Battleshock & OC too, any ability that says +1 = you'll always have at least 1OC
      Hope that helps!! Glad you could learn a few tricks from this vid too :)

    I seen a list recently that was belakor, 3 x LoC, 1 x BT, 1 x Shalaxi and then then a couple of squads of flamers.
    this list jumped out at me as being really cool from a painter/modeller perspective, as this contains some minis I really want to collect and paint, but had no reason to get before (granted I'm not that hot on the new blood thrister, but the others are beautiful... it's the pose, the standing on fire thing, just looks goofy on the box. I'm sure I'll love him if I own him though, Lol)
    what do you think about this kind of list? all I know about it is that Belakor shields the other greater daemons from damage for a turn. I don't know about having 3 x Lord of Chance. If the FW one didn't just get discontinued, then I would have for sure done it, as there are 3 different LoC minis (the named one with 2 x heads, the FW one and the standard one)
    I'm wondering if this kind of list might still be good if you drop 2 of the LoC for other things, or maybe just take 1 x standard and 1 x named LoC, then just took some more flamers or something with the change?
    I don't know how the list fully works. Like in order for it to be good do you need exactly 5 greater daemons to be shielded by Belakor, or is it a strategy that can be adapted into an army with 1 or 2 fewer greater daemons in it?
    I mainly want to collect these pieces for myself, to paint and enjoy, but I also want to get back into playing the game, so having stuff I'm into that I can also play with, and also have good games with (some of my friends like playing the meta stuff, it's what they're into so you need to be able to keep up if you want to play those games) so armies like this jump out at me... they're a collectors dream, but I'd never have imagined something like this to actually be playable and competitive.
    If any of you Daemon vets can help me break down this list and make one of the changes I mentioned (either taking 2 x fewer LoC for other things, or taking the named one and one regular, then spending what is left on more flamers or something.
    I'm also not sure whaDaemon

    • @fatarchon
      @fatarchon  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Hey man! So that kind of list is VERY common (& has been for a while!). That's your run of the mill "Monster Mash" where you bring mainly Greater Daemons (GDs) - currently it's very strong, but, the meta always ebbs 'n flows so there is always the chance our Codex suddenly makes Troops the best etc.
      You do not at all need to run 5 GDs or whatever, just 1-3 will suffice. If you're getting into the army fresh it's ultra important you get what you *like* or think is cool to *you* as again it'll all change one day hah
      You might like my full Chaos Daemons Index Review video that goes over eeeeveery unit. But regardless: nah you don't have to run all those hah. I'd say Belakor is an auto include the rest is up to you. GDs just happen to be the strongest sheets atm

      ​@@fatarchon Thanks.
      yeah, I've been looking into it more, and it all makes total sense.
      the Thrister and Shalaxi are your melee units and the 3 x LoC's and the Flamers are some ranged.
      I don't know if Belakor actually does much fighting himself, I think he's mainly there for the auras and stuff.
      also the LoC's buff the flamers.
      I think I'll likely get the BT, belakor and shalaxi, then just get one of the LoC's to start with.
      but yeah man, these are minis I'd want anyway, so it's a good list for me. If the list ends up not being powerful, it's not really that big of a deal.
