Vanilla DP

Has anyone ever used a vanilla DP? For example one in a 1000pts game or two in 2000pts? What were your experiences if any?

I just thought about it and compared to a vanilla chimera or a giant or a shagoth he is quite the guy with 5+ ward and unbreakable.

What do you mean by Vanilla DP? As he needs to take a Daemon of X mark and he would probably die before he does anything usefull...

I feel like the best/cheapest DP you can skim along with is Daemon of Slaanesh, Scaled Skin, Chaos Armor, and Enchanted/Charmed shield(whichever is +2arm). 1+arm save and 5+WS with armor piercing

If you give him any god choice (which you have to) and (depending on the choice) 0-10pts per DP to fit them into 250pts (ok, theoretically you could give one only a god and the other 20pts if both are slaanesh).

In 1000pts I barely see any cannons, the one DP you have could even have enchanted shield for the first hit IF anyone brings one, he is really fast with M8 and is a monster in combat.

Scaled skin and chaos armor (is 5pts of armor so enchanted shield would be a waste) is another 40pts which makes him 1/6 more expensive and wouldn't have him fit in 1000pts (25% on lords max).

Ohhh didnt see 1000 lol my bad! Ummm235 for prince, 5 for slaanesh, 5 for shield seems decent. 245 leaves u under 25% and he does shred poo up. I say play test it. If an.opponent brings a cannon usually he/she wont have too many models on the board which helps us more

Why slaanesh? AP on S6 isn't that useful compared to nurgle, or is it?

you don't need the enchanted shield, as 4+ 5+ is a 2+ only needing a basic shield for a 1+AS

Chaos Armor--4+AS
Scaled Skin makes it 3+
Enchanted shield makes it 1+? Am I correct?lol

Oh Slaanesh is not as good. I would take Nurgle for sure but I am literally taking the cheapest Vanilla build he asked about lol so 5pts for slaanesh vs 10pts for Nurgle lol but Nurgle is much better imo

Charmed shield gives you the 2++ against 1st hit and just 1+ to AS

It doesn't actually give you a 2++ vs the first hit. It says the first hit is ignored on a 2+. This matters for purposes of The Other Trickster's Shard.

I'd only take the Slaanesh DP if I absolutely need 5 points or if there is a magical item for 5 extra points that I really want, which I cannot think of. I'd take the Nurgle DP with Enchanted or Charmed shield.
