Hello I am new to posting on this forum, but have been stalking all of you for a while; I say this because if I messed up in making my first post here then I am sorry, and I hope a mod can delete it or something.
Anyway I was thinking of doing something fun, I typically play "Vanilla" marines, and Tyranids (Or as people at my store call them, the boogymen), but recently my attention was drawn to a neat idea for chaos daemons; someone is bound to have done it before, but I thought it would be neat in either case.
Field 4 heralds, all custom built with mounts that are horses, to be the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I was thinking War is Khorne (Kind of obvious) Tzeentch is Famine (Due to lies, and his ever changing ways) Nurgle as Pestilence (Again obvious) and Slaanesh as death, considering it steals your soul if you look at it, and his followers live on the edge of death, (Plus malal got the can years ago).
My question or rather tactics for this list would be, what would be good units to follow them up with? I was debating using steeds, but that leaves Nurgle out to rot. if others could help me out in this regard it would be fantastic, as I have little to no experience with creating a daemon army. It doesn't have to work perfectly, it doesn't have to make Draigo cry manly tears it just needs to do something fluffy. Before people think however, that I am just asking for you guys to build an army list here is what I have so far:
Herald of Khorne: Juggernaught,Unholy might, blessings of the blood god, iron hide. Total: 140
Herald of Tzeentch: Disc of Tzeentch, soul devour, bolt of Tzeentch. Total: 115
Herald of Nurgle: Palaquin of Nurgle, noxious Touch, Cloud of flies, Total: 80
Herald of Slaanesh: Mount of Slaanesh, pavane of Slaanesh, unholy might. Total: 95
Grand total for HQ: 430
I was debating doing four troop choices of all the different daemons, biut I wasn't sure what kind of squad size or upgrades would prove to be useful. I am going for fluff, and to be cool with a overall theme, but I still want it to be at least be a little bit functional (I am going to be putting money into it after all =D )
in either case target points is 1500, working with those HQ choices in general (Upgrades can be exchanged or moved around), so any advice you can give is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
