Deamon Hosts
« on: July 12, 2006, 11:11:53 AM »
How do You Feel About the Daemonhost, Are they usefull in an inquistorial Army Without Grey knights or in another Army as An Allied Force?

Some of the Benifits of the Daemonhosts Unit

They Have a 6 Strength and up to 6 Attacks (avg 3-4 a round)
They have 4 wounds each, with a 4+ Invulenerable Save
Can Deepstrike (without stratagem in City Fight)
Has a Random Psychic Power

Drawbacks

4 Toughness ( Can easily Suffer Instant Kill )
No Grey knights Allowed
Can't Claim Objectives 
High Point Cost



The Reason Why I'm Wondering is i'm possibly Planning to Buy a Full Squad.
2200 points of Witchhunters
2000 Points of Imperial Guard
1200 points of Deamonhunters
2600 points of Lost and the dammed

Soon 1000 points of New Eldar

40k W-L-D unknown never really mattered

My cousin uses them in his Radical force, and last tournament we played they were great.  They made excellent light infantry destroyers, and were even able to destroy tanks when they got the strength enhancement.

They are great, a lot of fun but very unpredictable!  Great fluff for a radical army.

 Very unpredictable, but very intimidating when you have one with 6 attacks.  They can really be nice attention getters, drawing lots of fire for the rest of your force. I usually field 2 with a lot of success with inducted IG

I enjoy playing with them with my Radical army with Relictors, great flulff together!  The only downside is that you are limited with the restictions in the DH codex.
