why take skarbrand he lets u re roll missed hits but u mase well take a greater daemon of nurgle.....

[ethsar46]

The rerolls is exactly the reason to take him.

[AJenko]

So rerolling to hit and rerolling to wound Plaugebearers.... nothing wrong with that...... (please note sacrasm)

So is this for tournaments?

Breat of Chaos is pretty handy on Daemon Princes, imho you are better of taking 2 x Breath and a Great Unclean one.

Pretty strong list, still, could be worse

Nah, you want Daemonic Gaze in Epidemus lists so you can start building tally from turn 1. Also, Unholy Might seems like overkill when you allready have Noxious

This is a very strange list and I'm not enirely sure how it works. The Seekers of Slaanesh are the most perplexing choice, I realise they got run in the "skarbrand and his (female followers)" list (which I thought was dead after 4th ed) but now they seem like a marginal choice even in a theme list and fairly poor here.

I see that you're trying to make units of super-troops and therefore understand why they are bigger than normal plaguebearer units. I do get the feeling there's something I'm missing with this list, perhaps you could explain your thoughts behind it, how you intend to play it, standard wave splits etc?

Personally I wasnt sure about the Seekers myself either, but John (AEON) suggested it, and their not that bad. I'd prefer Gaze on the DP's aswell, breath is great, but it needs wings to be really effective IMO.

I'm not really a 40k tournament player so its not for a tournament. The main idea of the army is to use the rerolls to hit in combination with the 2+ to wound poison attacks which may eventually be power weapons. Plus its hard to get rid of...
