Come see the unassuming Daemon list that won Adepticon 2015!
At first glance this list doesn’t seem very competitive I’ll admit. but in the hands of Daemon player savant Nick Nanavati, it’s deadly good.
Not only that but this is Nick’s THIRD Adepticon finish in a row, so he certain knows something or two about tactics.
‘Change We Can Believe in’
- Fateweaver
- 2x Heralds of Tzeentch Level 3 Discs, and Exalted Reward.
- 2x Herald of Nurgle Level 2, (one locus of Fecundity)
- 10 Pink Horrors
- 11 Pink Horrors
- 2x 8 Screamers
- 8 Plague Drones with Venom Sting, and Champion with a Greater Reward.
I’m not sure how this fits into the force org, I’m assuming he allied with himself as that was allowable I think at the event.
General strategy seems to be to just run around playing grab-ass with table space by using the screamers and drones and choking out objectives with summoned Daemons.
Congrats to Nick, Adepticon’s first THREE-PEATER!
What would YOU change in the list? -MBG
