The Demonlord Poxus is always seen in the company of thousands of gibbering abomonations of Nurgle. It is rumored that Poxus's retinue is an army in it's own right. Many patrol forces have been lost, thinking that they could defeat the near immortal prince singlehandedly. Since his return to real space, Poxus's small hordes have begun to amass and threaten the Gologtha Sector.

HQ

Poxus the Impure, Lord of the Pox Knights (count as Scabeiathrax)

Troops

5 PMs
2 PMs w/ Plasma guns

Total = 1491pts

Daemons do not fill up a FOC slot for troops in the new codex. It looks like you have x2 of the unit but the points don't seem to add up so I'm a bit confused.

There I edited it, I see what I did :P

Yeah, I realized what you had done awhile after I had posted.

It's a themed list, that's for sure. I can't help but recommend that you replace the FW character GUO for a standard greater daemon just because of all the points you'd have to spend on other stuff. It just seems at 1,500 points there would be so few units on the table with icons that they could possibly be wiped out before the daemons could even be summoned.

Well yes, I do have a plan. Naturally this list does revolve around one thing: Scabby. He will summon all the demons. The PMs will be a medium range support and use Scabby's special character rules to attract all the attention to Scabby who will have no problem shrugging anything short of a volcano cannon ^-^. I will be somewhat bending the rules (Poxus is a demon prince and not a demon so he will not be summoned on the table), so he'll will be in the front soaking up fire. Hopefully, he can lock up any sort of elite CC squad (Termies and the whatnot) and use his insane CC perks to crush them all to oblivion. The oblits will stand in the back and aim for the tanks, the PMs can soak up fire ok on their own and thin out the troops, and the demons will tackle troops.

The main issue I have is that once people know you're playing this army, they'll take every lascannon/meltagun they can find. You might also want to keep an eye on Vindicators, as they could slowly pie-plate your army to death.

For instance, if I knew you were bringing Poxus/Scabby, I'd bring 3 Close-combat Defilers. They could lob a few BC shots at him, then get messy in CC and tie him up for awhile. Meanwhile, my Sons would make rather easy work of your Plague marines and daemons, as I could better handle a war of attrition (Standard Sons squads of 8 Rubrics and a Sorcerer w/wind of chaos). Your Oblits would be an annoyance, at best, as I could shrug off half of their incoming fire due to the MoT.

In any case, a cool list, and I'd love to play against it on the table.

One question I have is how do you get Scabeiathrax on the table? Doesn't he have to be summoned just like any other greater demon? I don't see any champions in the army list at all.

What made the daemon prince 777 points then cuz it's only 110(ish) in the new codex

Because he's using that bag of pus and bile from Forgeworld (With FW rules), that's why
