Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: Emperor’s Children Peerless Bladesmen & Princes
Goatboy here with my first Codex Emperor’s Children armylist I want to play. Hello Peerless Bladesmen and a quartet of pink Daemon Princes!
If you read my Emperor’s Children Codex review you can tell I am high on the Daemon Prince options in this book. I like not having to dump a lot of points into a Primarch and think there is a way to get something working that is extremely aggressive and Goatboy like. I am going to come at you fast and hard and beware the damage I will pour out onto the table top for Slaanesh.
The list is going to use Peerless Bladesmen as I think this is the best detachment for the dumb EC army I want to play. I feel like using four Daemon Princes and the support I can use to get them running around the tabletop. I also think I could throw in some Heldrakes as they should be fast enough to get up there, get involved, and maybe kill something as the enemy tries to figure out what to do with them.

Peerless Bladesmen & The Princes Tactics
Now this list is using the points stright out of the codex. We’ll see if the points change, like GW loves to do. I like the idea of using two Heldrakes to pester the opponent Turn 1 to help get your guys in place. I wonder if that could be useable with a shooting based army to get all your Noise Marines lined up and ready to wreck face. Really this is just a way for me to play a ton of Daemon Princes, have a lot of options, and go fast to burn the enemy to a crisp.
For the Third Legion!
