The list plan is fairly simple,
Demon lord rolls every table but pyromancy, cherry picking the best spells, nearly all of biomancy, precog, and a handful of the damage ones are cast fairly often (yes this character is a bit of a meme, this list isnt supposed to be hyper comp)
Demon shrikes are anti-air/tank their not fantastic but they do a solid job at their role
brutes are fair simply as a second vanguard of hell unit, its annoying not to have multiple ngl
beasts are just very fun and very good imo , running 20 is a solid line
arch demon fucks, and thats all

The list doesn’t work at all, your HQ is allowed only 3 emanations total
My mistake, didn’t realize the additional emanation granted by maddening swarms.
Seems like it puts a lot of investment into the psychic phase, I would prefer at least 4 scoring units at that point level. On the beasts I am a big fan of ephemeral terror so I can ignore all of the effects of terrain with my beasts, makes it to where nobody can hide from them, they have a high enough volume of attacks on the charge and a good strength so the shred isn’t as helpful in my opinion.

And yes it puts a lot of investment into the psychic phase, but i get points for killing stuff with powers so its not the end of the world

It is much different than my Crimson Fury list but very nice from what I can see. Not much experience with the psychic powers but they can be very powerful.

i feel like theirs a shell in ruinstorm then you build from that ngl
and ngl psychic powers feel busted at times

I agree, there is a shell of a list and then you can add a few things to your liking but unless someone is playing a friendly list or something fringe then everyone is taking the same good units

Yeah, what’s your list out of curiosity?

List still went 4-1, only loss was against mass firepower from Dark Angels molecular acid shells on a board with so many objectives that I only had two portals that I could put down and was clear across the board diagonally. Still was a final score of 2-4 on objective points, all my other games were complete blow outs lol
