Fantasy/40K Pure Tzeentchian Daemon Army List Help

original thread ↗

Greetings fellow Ogres.

I have recently been watching some batreps on the MiniWarGaming youtube channel and I have gotten the itch to create a pure Tzeentchian daemon force that can be used both for fantasy & 40k. However, I'm very new to the army on both sides so I'm asking the people of the Stronghold to give their opinions and experience on what a competitive pure Tzeentchian build looks like.

Please comment, sound off or bellow and increase my knowledge concerning the forces of constant change.
Greasus Goldtooth is unworthy of bearing the title of Overtyrant. First he bent the scared rules of the Pit then he proclaimed that he is too rich to even walk! He is no ogre! Greasus is a weak, treacherous gnoblar that usurped his master’s throne! - Nazzaarth Icebreaker

Protect like Khorne. Cling like Nurgle. Guide like Tzeentch. Love like Slaanesh.
I'm bigger than you & higher on the food chain. Get in my belly!!!
Well, from what little knowledge I have for Daemons in any setting, I can confidentally say this:

40k, spam the summons. It's cheesy, but with Tzeentch you can easily get so many warp charges that you can muscle out as many DPs and such as you want, so long as you're willing to:
A) get the models, and
B) deal with some pissed-off opponents who'll scream cheeeeeeeese like they're about to get their picture taken :P

for Fantasy 8th, I'm not so sure if they're super competitive, especially with the Warpflame special rule having the potential to help your opponents via bad rolls, but once again you have access to an army that has some of the best magical muscle you can muster; you can spam various spells, or go for a tzeentch chariot list.

In AoS, it's similar to the 40k idea, where you just magic-summon the board full of whatever you want. Plus, summoning more Horrors means summoning more Horrors the next turn, and you can attempt to win a war of attrition with your opponent. Again, can be seen as cheesy, but if you're looking for competitive, that's what I see.

Hope this helps. 90% of my daemon knowledge comes from YouTube batreps, and the rest comes from my brother's book and small meager force (he only has a battalion and Skulltaker, and they're not even fully assembled yet lol)...

New book WLD: 21/11/3 - Got trounced by one of the "Khaine" elf armies... Stupid new rules...

Thanks for the information Sazel.

Spamming summoning was what I originally thought of doing. I just wanted to get some opinions from other players and see what they said. The idea Trolololoing the enemy is very appealing and I hope to find more batreps of pure Tzeentchian daemon armies in action. So if you see any just let me know.
