1850 Daemons Flying Circus + Objective Snatcher

[l0rdf1end]

Here's a list I'm going to be playing tonight for some fun:

HQ
Keeper of Secrets, lvl 3, Greater Reward x2 260
11 Horrors 99
11 Horrors 99
Daemon of Slaanesh, lvl 3, Wings, Greater Reward x2, Armour 330
Daemon of Slaanesh, lvl 3, Wings, Greater Reward x2, Armour 330
Daemon of Slaanesh, lvl 3, Wings, Greater Reward x2, Armour 330
Allies:
Daemon of Nurgle, Wings, Armour, Dimensional Key, Spell Familiar lvl 3 345
Cultists 50
1843


Daemons of Slaanesh hope for Iron Arm to increase their Lash Str and also use any other psychic shooting attacks they have access to (Lash of Slaanesh, Shriek, Smite)
Keeper is hoping for invisibility or shroud
I will secure the Summoning power on at least 3 of the DP's.

The general idea is to achieve durability from Swoop mode and gifts/powers.

Score one kill at some stage in the game with the 2+ Jink Nurgle DP to activate the Dimensional key.

Once activated my DP's can fly off the table and then deepstrike without scatter to perhaps get myself in a perfect position to shoot something or contest or score something.
In addition to that I can use summoning powers turn 5 without scatter to score some last minute objectives.

Totally untested but I really like the concept and should be fun to play.

My list is pretty similar , the main difference is that I run 2 GDs and a Sorc and a Defiler.

Maybe for you, but spamming Malefic might make you a bit unpopular amongst other players...

It's commendable that you tried to find the way to make the Key work, but allas you are no match for the Key's horrible rules. The rules for the key say that only units from the CSM codex can deepstrike without scattering when it's activated. So no scatterless DS-ing for Daemons. Also, FMC can't run off the table and deepstrike afterwards. To Deepstrike you must put a unit in the Reserve at the beggining of the game.

Not much else to say really, except that you should use your remaining points to buy a Flamer for Cultists. Or better yet play without CSM allies.

Yeah I missed that wording on the key, thanks for the spot.
I was finding although durable the amount of reliable shooting out wasn't enough.
The whole idea was to actually get a use out of the key so I think ill put this to bed

I played my 1850 flying circus just the other day to try em out in 7th. I was disappointed. The whole turn of not charging was super rough on them, and even with a ton of psychic dice I was only getting ~4 powers a turn unless I went all ML1 spells. Iron arm is godly now that its flat +3, but if you don't get it your boned. It felt like that was the only way to survive on the ground.

You either can fly FMC off the table and DS them afterwards, or gate of infinity doesn't work. I'd have to check but pretty sure it breaks Burrow for mawlocks as well if they start on the board.

Honestly I think assault FMCs need shrouded jink and just glide all game to be usable. If you can get invisibility too, then great. Casting shroud and bubble them up should be enough in most instances though.
