If you thought the old Eldar Daemon summoning was bad, wait till you see what the new Space Marines can do (just don’t tell the inquisition).
We all know the old Eldar Daemon summoning abilities were crazy, but with the new Librarius conclave formation you can almost do the same thing.
Librarius Conclave
Tigurius 165 (really he represents any chief librarian)
2 Level Two Librarians 180
445 pts – Total
Psychic pool: 7
With this formation you can almost always get the summon type spell you need (incursion, sacrifice, or possession). Plus with the ability to cast these spells on a 2+ for a roughly 88% success rate, or 92% if you use Tigurius and his re-roll to cast.
Because you perils on doubles due to Daemonology, at least once per game your psykers will perils (1/6 attempts based off casting on two dice). That being said here’s the craziness you can do each turn;
Cast two Summoning spells, compounding your warp charge each turn, and one Sacrifice spell. You can even sub out one summon spell for the offensive punch of an Incursion spell if need be as well. The Relictors recommend summoning Tzeentch daemons as they themselves can be psychic and then independently begin to summon more Daemons in the followings turns.
Now combo this awesome formation with the notorious Blue Tide army below, and you have a great one-two punch to make a bare bones formation with tons of objective secured units super potent with hordes of daemons to run amok.
