Aarhus Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I take two, only because so much time been spent converting and painting them (about 10hrs straight, each for a long weekend). Lord Cythkaras 'n Chekha Mark of Nurgle, Terminator Armour, Combi-Melta, Plaguebringer Not the most "efficient", but he's plenty killy, and he can also take down massive targets without breaking a sweat (wraithlords, talosi, vehicles) Sorcerer Ryiix the Pustulent Mark of Nurgle, Wings, Familiar, Nurgle's Rot, Wind of Chaos Just how I used to field him in the previous book, -1W, -1S, +Force Weapon Cheers, Lawrence.

Wolfsrage Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Definitely just one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137777-hqs-how-many/#findComment-1590419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tfcdogbert Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Depends on whom im fighting, whether its one Daemon prince or two, i take them against almost everything, the only side i wouldnt consider taking them against is orks, where i would switch my second for more firepower.

Brother Nihm Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Definitely just one.Same here, with the cheap HQ option (Lt's) being removed, I use only one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137777-hqs-how-many/#findComment-1590436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBehlen Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Dont Deamon Princes count as scoring units now? I dont have the book here so i cant remember! If so, why not take 2 if u think it will work with your army well. Overall tho, if they arent scoring units, take only 1 in a 1500 point game.

Seahawk Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Only one. All HQ's are decidedly expensive for their limited effect on the table. At least in my eyes. It is a point of amusement that a greater daemon has become the cheapest HQ choice available.

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Only one. All HQ's are decidedly expensive for their limited effect on the table. At least in my eyes. It is a point of amusement that a greater daemon has become the cheapest HQ choice available. Which is precisely why at 1500 points if I field a second HQ it's a GGD.

chillin Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 At 1500 pts I only ever take 1 HQ. I mix it up between DP, sorc, and lord, just to keep things interesting not for any tactical reason.

Kaptain Von Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Depends. I've a Slaanesh-biased army list for 1500 points that takes two - a Sorcerer with Wings, the Lash and a personal Icon, and a Generic Greater Daemon (it's a Keeper of Secrets which is quite well painted, for me, so it wants to be used). My Tzeentch army (currently capping out at about 1000) has a single Daemon Prince with Bolt of Change. Bigger games would probably see all three turning up, and I might feel compelled to do a Terminator Lord at some stage or another. But only Might.

Lady_Canoness Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I usually field two HQs for my Black Legion. Sorcerer and a Lord are the most common choices. A sorcerer with Bolt of Change makes a supereb Tank Hunter. Lords are just great to bolster the power of an assault unit. For my World Eaters I just use Khârn.
