Best units/well rounded army to fight DoC at 2400 points?

Post by Venomblades »

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.

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 :)

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.
