EVIL INC Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It doesnt take THAT much energy to type in the whole words. Leetspeak is not my strongpoint. After figuring out what you were asking, I would say, go ahead and give it wings. The extra mobility/speed is a good thing to have on a DP of any flavour.

minigun762 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I believe you'll find that 99.5% of all Chaos players will say that Wings are mandatory regardless of how else you equip your Daemon Prince. The remaining 0.5% are not yet aware that their Daemon Prince can be given Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVIL INC Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Which leads up to wonder why they didnt just model them on or put them in the box for us to model on. Mine fly on the winds of change, willpower and hot air gas stored inside depending on which one I use. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cale Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 As Minigun said, always take wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jeske Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 you need to buy two models [or rather 4] to have two viable HQs . double wing for GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesI Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I was just wondering if daemon prince w mot, db, wt would be better with or without wings As a recommendation, go with Wind of Chaos rather than Doom Bolt (4+ to wound with a reroll and no saves). And always go wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadSouls11 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 I want to build a tzeentch sorceror out of an existing dp model i have. I've fielded daemon prince with wings waptime in a few battles to much sucess i was curious if it was ineffectively expensive to have so many upgrades on one HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse. Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Warptime and Wind of Chaos is always a good troop muncher no matter what you use it for, it can hurt things before you charge. Rerolling hits is very good for facing vehicles that moved or walkers. Wings if you go for a general approach to the prince. No upgrades if you get him for taking hits for your other things. I'm crazy like that, so far it works, a prince is a vindicator that always keeps its cannon I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSouls11 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Im going to run the dp with wings and wind of chaos and see if it performs on par with wings warptime within my army. For 5 points more i wonder if the WoC prince can match 4/5 MEQ kills a turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 5 points more i wonder if the WoC prince can match 4/5 MEQ kills a turn Where I see Wind of Chaos being really useful is anti-horde. A normal Daemon Prince will only ever kill a maximum of 5 guys on the charge. Now 5 Marines is 1/2 a squad, but 5 Orks is a 1/6 of a big mob. However if you get 6-10 guys under your template, you can effectively double your kills on that first turn. In longer battles, the Warptime Prince will have an edge or if the battle is up against hard units (like a Hive Tyrant or TH/SS Terminators) where you really need to kill them fast. Against the little stuff, you're almost always wounding on 2's and hitting on 3's already, so the HtH advantage is yours already and the anti-horde might be useful (same kind of logic for Nurgle DP's using Nurgle's Rot as anti-horde).

Considering the size a Prince might attain, he could always jump. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
