Daemonhosts, ya love em or hate em.

I have to say after playing a couple games with Daemonhosts they are the PERFECT example of chaos. Their random abilites either help you or hinder you. I had a game where I ended up sitting a Daemonhost right next to my Inquisitor and staff, dear god was I sweating a storm! I was so scared that the Daemon would do blood boil and would keep looking at it.(Yes I know normally you keep them away, but how the field was set up I had no choice, funneling was happening because of the terrain). Has anyone else had any experince with these guys?

When I field them I tend to lay my whole battle around them, hoping for good rolls and making sure each of them paid their points back.

These guys just are so much fun, random abilies added with a Str 6 attack and FOUR wounds just is so freakin nice.

Then of course if you pop three down your looking at the cost of a Land Raider!

I love them but the main problem is that you can't field them with Grey Knights, wich I prefer.

[DoomKnights]

So true, its a take or give kind of relationship.

What's this? Allows armor saves? I say, old bean, these things suck!

[paxmiles]

You mean in CC? The bloodboil is APawesome, they can self heal, become str awesome, or make a awesome" move with assault. Also the GK in PA cannot ignore armor saves either and they cost much more for the same amount of wounds.

[DoomKnights]

Their save ins INV only though. Yes they allow armour saves, but what other being can hit with 13 charging or 12 not charging for two rounds? lol.

[Boosterburn]

Cfoley, APawesome is the win

[jackster]

Point for point, Daemonhosts are generally better than Grey Knights in CC.

My three Daemonhosts killed a full necron army by themselves. Thats 60 Necron Warriors, and a Necron Lord with a Res Orb. To be honest the Assassin did kill the three destroyes before that.

@jackster: Yes the daemon hosts are better for the points, but they have a 0-1 limit (for 3) where the GK have no such limit except on their GK heros.
