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 |

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 |

No. SS adds 2 to armor save. |

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. |
