Ive probably searched about 50 pages to find a thread on Daemon Allies but didnt seem to find one :(

Ive got a really sweet bundle pack yesterday which contains the Following

Metal Skulltaker on a Juggernaut
2 Bloodcrushers of Khorne ( yay for proxing as Skullcrushers meanwhile :D)
Metal Changeling
Herald of Tzeentch BSB
30 Bloodletters( 2 SB's one champ, one musician)
36 Pink Horrors ( same as above)
2 Daemon Princes

All for 40 Bucks ;)
I see so much potential from Daemons especially when they never run away!
Killing Blow Bloodletters, Extremely powerful magic from Pink Horrors, Staying power of Plaguebearers, A freaking Cannonball. The possiblities are endless, but is it all worth it? ( Warriors dont need help, but for fun purposes ;D )

Demons are nowhere near as strong as they used to be. In their previous book they were the most ridiculous army I've ever seen. Their greater demon special characters are rough. I don't know if he still has it but the special character version of the Changer of Ways used to be able to use his opponents spells.

I had him cast my own Infernal Gateway against me. He rolled boxcars for strength and I lost Archaon and 2 sorcerers with a unit of knights instantly. This was at the 'ard boys tournament. I threw in the towel turn 2.

That being said... demons now are really random and it just feels like they got a nerf. I can usually walk all over them. Just watch out for nurgle demons, because they're really a challenge to kill! (as expected I suppose)

Daemons are weaker now than back in the old days for sure. But they are not an weak army. They are actually one of the best armies, just behind WoC. Yes, they are random but they also have a lot of power with them. If you wanna do it for fun, ofc you should try them. It would be an epic match :) For winning purposes, I recommend to take Plaguebearers. Those are atm best core unit from their book. Combine with Nurgle Magic, they are killers.

Well like I pointed out already, if you wanna have best core from them, take Plaguebearers. Otherwise take what you like. I recommend to search needed information from the Daemons before taking them. I also strongly recommend to buy that book or borrow it from someone/somewhere in order to get all the rules right. You gonna need their Reign of Chaos table for sure as it will also effect your main troops.

Beasts of Nurgle and Skull Chariots are probably 2 of the best units in the entire game they are undercosted and over perform.

People frown upon you if you take too many of each do with that what you will.
