Daemons Vs Orcs & Goblins

I played a game last night against Nicks Orc's and Goblins and probably would have managed a win if he had not had to leave to catch the train. We both had constructed anti-CW armies.

Points to note: Horrors are better formed up as a unit of 30 6x5 with changeling and embedded Herald with Usual Master of Sorcery and Spellbreaker.

First time I took out the daemonettes and they sucked. But then again they did get charged by trolls in the first turn 18" charge (he rolled double 6s). Will take Bloodletters instead.

Savage Orcs die almost like regular Orcs from shooting and magic. Especially when you focus fire on them.

Screamers are awesome.

Flamers less so. Screamers are way better than flamers at the moment.

Fiends are awesome expecially run in two units of 1 as tandem hitters.

I have yet to take Plaguebearers, but I'm guessing they're going to be as effective as Daemonettes.

I'm going to pick up some furies for my pure Khorne daemons and  as a cheap utility unit.

Here's what I ended up taking: -->
