Hey guys, just a quick question here. I am coming up against DoC next this Tuesday, was just wondering what are the best units to go with against DoC and what lore? I tend to stay away from fast cav lists as i'm more infantry favoured. I'm open to suggestions!
Units i favour:
BLACK GUARD/EXECUTIONERS
WITCHES (Now i have finally painted my CoB)
Thanks guys.
Best units/well rounded army to fight DoC at 2400 points?

I'm guessing 8th is dead then? Just need advice people, waiting patiently
Re: Best units/well rounded army to fight DoC at 2400 points
Warlocks and bolters are always nice As for lores: death, shadow and metal are all nice due to their insta-death super spells. I´ve recently started to try out lore of heavens a bit more, but I dont know if its any better vs DoC than any other lore.
If you bring a cauldron, then the black guard/exectioners gets a boost aswell with re-rolls to wound

Looks good to me, unless you want to change the kharibdyss for more warlocks, another pegrider or just more bodies. But it looks perfectly fine as it is
Re: Best units/well rounded army to fight DoC at 2400 points
don't bother with the razor banner vs. daemons!!!!
Re: Best units/well rounded army to fight DoC at 2400 points
True, you really don't need the razor banner as very few demons have armour at all. The same goes for lore of metal - take death or shadow.
Your problems consist of ward saves, reign of Chaos and Nurgle - 1 to hit attribute. So basically stuff you don't have much influence on.
Sounds boring but your best options are: lvl4 death on dark steed, Witches, Executioners and Doomfire Warlocks. Of course cauldron and CoT Master are very good too as in nearly every match up.
