I played a couple games this weekend in a local tournament and there were plenty of daemons lists (khorne overall). I wanted to ask you how you deal with those ones, lists? specific unitS? Thanks a loT!

Generally high attack count w/ low AP and MWs are how you deal with Daemons. Horms, Venomthropes, Pyrovores, Malceptor are strong picks. Zoans, GS, STC Harpy, Toxicrene, and Haruspex are less efficient options that can still perform well into Daemons. Behemoth Horms are specifically good into Khorne since they will likely get to fight on death to trade 2-for-1.

Yup! On the table top, they do better at shooting and have a warlord traits/strategem that make perils of the warp worse for opposing casters I think.
