I'm working on a 2500pt list using Shadow Legion (Chaos Daemons). I'm hoping to get some suggestions and thoughts on the list and strategies. The list is at the bottom.

*

First off, I'm going to be using Fellgor Beastmen and using their rules, combined with the army wide Deep Strike, dropping them on the objectives in the middle of the board on T1 to start getting early VP off of objectives in T2. Im still not 100% sure this would work, but it seems to be the consensus I can find online. Follow up with sticky what I can with Cultists. Beasts of Nurgle are mostly going to be for deepstrike screening early game and as needed later. Soulgrinders are going to mostly sit in the back and use indirect fire and Phlegm Bombardment until enemy units get closer. 

Fateskimmer and Screamers are going to use their fast movement and their ability to drop mortal wounds on vulnerable units before following through with a charge and using the Enhancement and melee weapons to finish units. They seem to be a versatile melee unit that can take down whatever unit as needed. Raptors are going to be a more dedicated anti-vehicle / anti-elite. I'm unsure if I'm going to go the Melta or Plasma route with them. 

Finally, my Chosen will be more of an anti-infantry / melee unit. Wardogs will also be anti-infantry. Be'lakor will fight infantry with range or close in on armor as needed.

I plan to make good use of Binding Shadow, to maneuver forces, especially with the Chosen and Raptors, since the Lord attached to them will make the stratagem free. The Firebrands are there to hopefully provide emergency healing to Be'lakor if needed since their weapons can force battleshock tests. I'm also hoping I will get a little bit of usage out of the Wardogs battleshock rule. The Shadow of Chaos rule means Battleshock might actually do something useful. While I'm not counting on it, the little bit of help from it might prove useful.
