One Of The BEST Unit In THE GAME - And No One Runs It - Warhammer 40k 10th Ed UNIT BREAKDOWN

[@Motorcitynights]

I had a game at rookie learning day a week ago. When going through my list, everyone said they wouldn't run it in renegade raiders. But that Dread Reaver enhancement giving rerolls makes him even more of a beast. I'll definitely give it another go in PBZ.

I would also like to point out the Stratagem that removes Battleshock can only be used during the opponents command phase. So those units will be battleshocked for a WHILE! Well worth hsing to dance over an objective and give it to you for the next command phase

I've played 8 of them in a list on my channel. They are so fun

let’s gooo 40k Dirtbags you’re my CSM GOAT

[@BreakerBeat]

The unit is fine, and I run it regularly because I love the model. I'd also say it is underrated (maybe mostly due to CSM having some other better units to take). But that title is pretty ridiculously clickbait. 5+ FNP is cool, but it effective is then just 13W at T9. It still dies to anyone focusing it. And even if it saves it one turn more, you're still so low the MW ability is useless and the melee is lackluster into most things for the points. The Flying Horror ability is incredibly bad, because mostly you put yourself in a worse position just to maybe battle-shock someone (and positioning is key to getting use of MW in multiple turns). Also, battle-shock is not THAT amazing when done in your own phase, because it doesn't interact with VP. Sure it can be good for turning off Overwatch, but it's not amazing. And using things like Abaddon as an argument is misleading, a 14" moving Daemon Prince will never be fighting inside Abaddon aura. Personally I have had more success as Khorne in Pactbound with the enhancement instead of Slaanesh. This just brings the melee into actual dangerous territory. Suddenly it can MW bomb + melee kill equal or higher point cost enemies, and then if it survives on a few wounds (and thus can't do the MW trick again), it still got the melee to kill a second target. That's what the unit is for - kill more points than it costed.

Dont sleep on the Khorne one with burning talisman either - it goes from not being able to deal with vehicles, to very consistently killing them with a S11 breakpoint and extra attacks along with the demon shock ability

[@CrazyMongol123]

He is my fav unit too! So sweengly! He alone took 320 points custodies for 3!!! turns and that gave me trophie for 10 men tournaments with friends

[@malal6512]

str 8 is what really kills this model for me, if I get a daemon prince I want it to be able to reliable wound heavy vehicles, maybe not super heavies but heavies for sure, this thing struggles to wound light vehicles or even scout vehicles with str 8.....

[@soul1d]

Whew... am I happy I chose to build it with the wings... literally built it yesterday

[@andrewverrett568]

I like the death guard and the world eaters, other than that I don't care for the chaos marines either. Mortarions figure is gorgeous. One of the best in the entire world.

[@BLUEBOYISLEDGE]

Interesting, I thought this was going to be about the Daemons version of it and the +4S, +5A along with a keyword of your choice in melee. This seems annoying though!

[@znalniaskas]

Honestly, making him Nurgle for +1 T (10 is a nice breaking point against Meltas and similar stuff) + more MWs after the fight phase is not bad at all, If you want to run more than 1...

[@Ghost3210]

Meanwhile me, who uses 3 x old model winged Daemon Princes with claws in his Night lords list together with with a bunch of warp talons and dual claw terminators. Because I think they are cool.

[@ferrariamarela]

First time I played Night Lords I use this exact combo with this model

[@masterolimario]

Play against it? I'm the only pactbound zealot player i've ever seen in person, I'm gonna see how it plays myself.

[@SLlNKl]

Making me wonder if the World Eaters princes are worth running. On foot to roll up with eightbound while wings is in deep strike or running up the side board

[@khurdur2939]

not really no. One guy had success with a winged one with the glaive in deepstrike, no one else.

[@2wolf5]

It is really expensive, this army works better with more less expensive units. I like it though, I have two of them😅

[@SLlNKl]

@ yeah I’m wondering if prince on foot would be worth to help beef up the 8B. But 220 with helm is expensive for sure

[@2wolf5]

​@@SLlNKlIn a friendly game that can be nice, but in a competitive game I would just take another 3 eithbound instead, there are armies that can delete almost anything from a far so having more stuff could work better than upping the inv in my opinion

[@metroid308]

@@2wolf5upping the invul is cool and there's a neat trick that should work with other infantry that don't have an invul. If you use go to ground on say a 10-man bezerker squad, they gain a 6+ invul from that strat. The Demon Prince sees that invul and makes it a 4+ invul. It's really neat

....I feel like this video needs some disclaimers lol

[@chrissipple1866]

This model is hilarious
